I have always excelled in drawing and I've planned on pursuing a career in which I put that skill to work. I am also skilled on the computer and I’m using that factor with deciding what to do in my future as well. I have worked hard in high school to ensure that I would be able to obtain financial help so that I can go to college, and I have worked hard enough that I plan on graduating with high honor this year. My achievement of excellent grades in high school is also a way to reflect on my dedication towards having a successful future and demonstrates my hard-working attitude.

    I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. I am the youngest of four children, and I did not really attend public schools, but I was homeschooled during some of my elementary and middle school days. I was a very bright student and completed all my works, but I hit some challenges as I got older. I liked to do my schoolwork early, so I can have spare free time to play video games and hang out with friends before I had to go to football practice, but my mother who is very educated didn't allow me to spend all my free time to play video games. She would always want me to do chores or read a book, but I never really would get into reading as much because I never found it appealing.…
