: About Me

My passion is ...

to become a famous artist, maybe not while I'm alive, but I want my name to be discussed long after I've died.

I know too much about ...

The Beatles, The Monkees, and Simon and Garfunkel. Harry Potter too (hey, don't judge!)

My parents always told me ...

Well, they STILL tell me to pick a more economical career. "You're never going to make any money!"

My childhood ambition ...

I've wanted to be an artist forever (as well as...a pet store owner, a school bus driver, and a "bumble bee")

My favorite memory ...

My cousin and I were extremely close growing up and when we could get together we would have the most interesting and fun times. We had a lot of imagination back then...

Why I write ...

I'm very opinionated and, like all very opinionated people, I believe I'm always right and that everyone who disagrees with me must have something wrong with them. In person, I'm not very talkative and I rarely share what I'm thinking, so I express myself through writing.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I've been brushing up for my Freshman year of college in the fall with "The Fountainhead" but I'm leaving July entirely open for HP5 and HP7. I listen to oldies music non-stop so...I have no idea what's going on in the music world presently.

My first job ...

I ran birthday parties at Boyd's Bear County in Gettysburg. I had to sing, dance, face paint, carry around huge cakes, and basically babysit for eight hours a day.

My inspiration ...

Ayn Rand, John Lennon, my cousin, and my best friend

Especially when a child tends to be rather tight-lipped about their school days, it's the night that parents can find out what's really going on and what is in store for the coming months. It is important for teachers to be able to answer any question that is aimed in their direction and to have an attention-grabbing presentation. The main objective is to get all the parents involved in their children's lives. Elementary school tea...
