About me…

Starting school as a freshman in Animas was hard.  I didn’t know anyone, and I had moved away from the school and friends I had known since first grade.  I hated the thought of having to leave them, we were just getting ready to start high school.  It would be a new and exciting experience and I would have to go through it with total strangers.  I tried every way possible to get out of moving, but nothing worked.  In the end, everything worked out great.
