I am a 16 year old, high school sophomore who, when she's not doing homework, enjoys reading sci-fi/fantasy novels, watching movies like the Lord of the Rings and The Breakfast Club, and listening to country music, especially Luke Bryan. I love going to the beach with my family, writing poetry, and volunteering at the local community center. My friends and family are the most important people in my life and I would never be where I am today without them. They encourage me to take chances and always remind me that "sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage and something great will come out of it."
