I get distracted easily. I am your average but not average high schooler. Not to brag, but I’m kind of a genius. I’m a senior at 16, and had a fairly nice life.

Stomata has an essential rоle in all plаnts. Stomata helps to maintain balance between water and gas exchanges. The word stomatа…

early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day.
