I am currently home-schooled and having minor difficulties in math and reading. I have difficulties in math because I just don't understand a lot of things fast enough and it makes me frustrated. I am in Algebra 1 and I thought it was going to be easy, but it's not - not for me anyways. If anyone here is amazing at Algebra..please email me and I will definitely use your help... I am not good in reading because I never like to read. I barely find anything that interests me. That's partly why I joined Helium. It is helping me read and write and it will help me in the future too. I love home-schooling! I actually used to go to regular school and I miss my friends, but I still talk and see them - so it still works. Most people ask me if I want to go back to public school and I always answer NO! I don't, I hated public school!

I love my friends and family! They mean more to me than anything right now. I love hanging out with them and making memories with my family. My dad is mad at me right now because I quit gymnastics, but it was my decision and he just needs to get over it. I still love him though! I love my family and they are great!

I love gymnastics! I was in level 9 before I was injured. (I have an article about my injury.) I am waiting on a job to coach at a gymnastics gym-they aren't hiring right now, but they said when they are hiring I'm definitely in. This injury has opened so many new doors for me and it has let me know what I've missed out in life.

My dream ever since I was three years old was to become an actress. It's still my dream and I'm working my butt off to try to get there. I want it so bad!

I have 2 dogs-there miniature pintures-named Lily and Gizmo. I also have a kitten-named Snowball. My mom and I saved him from a car engine. He is so cute! I have a bearded dragon-named Hubba. He's awesome too!

I live with my mom and dad-they pay for our house. LOL. My sister is 19 and she is attending Transylvania In Lexington Kentucky. I look up to my sister.

I want to be able to sing-I am having to teach myself and I try to sound good. Singing for me is just hard, I'm not too great at it and thats why I am getting lessons.

I want to learn how to play the piano. I don't have to be great..it would just be nice to know how to play and stuff...

I have big dreams and expectations of myself for being my age. I get too stressed at the age of 14.

I believe in being positive all the time and I hate being wrong.

I love to laugh and tell jokes.

I love Jeff Dunham.

I try to be nice to everyone.

I am NOT racist!

I have dark brown hair. I hate my hair! It barely ever does what I want it too. Then again I love my hair..I get lots of compliments on my hair. I just got my hair cut and I am learning different styles. I actually need a trim because I'm starting to get split ends.

I am skinny-getting fatter by the day. LOL. I don't really care right now though.

I have big feet for my age.

My hands are big as well.

I have no idea how to apply make-up, but I like to try and I wear it anyways.

I get any kind of pimple, everyday. I try to get rid of them, but nothing is working.

I have no money-well I'm earning slowly here, but before this I had no money.

I love advise for writing so if anyone has any advice..please give it too me!

My passion is ...

My passion ever since I was 3 years old is to become a famous actress. I love acting and think I will be very good at it. I will need practice, but then again who doesn't when trying something new.

My favorite memory is the memories of my Mamaw. She had a stroke 8 years ago and has been in the nursing home ever since. She can't move, talk, and she doesn't even know who anyone is.

I love gymnastics! Gymnastics was my whole life before I got hurt. I would train at the least, 15 hours a week. Sometimes I would train up to 30 hours a week. Practices were 3 to 6 days a week, 3 to 5 hours long! It was hard on me and I got sick of it, but for some reason something kept pulling back into the gym.

I don't know why I kept going back to practice when I could have had an actual life. I guess I kept going back because I was told I was amazing and I showed a lot of potential most children/teens don't have. (I trained at the University of Kentucky.) My coach had told...
