My first semester of senior year has been a very stressful ride full of learning and new experiences. I look forward to what second semester has in store for me and even more importantly, my first year at college. My skills have grown in areas of reading, writing, discussion, and mental processing.

Apart from these quotes, I would also draw; most of my sketches are either abstract lines or views of nature. I also recorded some of my favorite memories and biggest problems I have had to
