About
I am a performer. I have sang,dance,and acted all my life. I put my whole self into everything I do. But, not only am I a performer, I am on the debate team at my school, and have been for 3 years. I think this has really expanded my mind and has lead me to be aware of what is going on around the world. Also, I love to run. I have been in many races. I find that running is a great way to stay in shape and a good life hobby. If you want to know more about me then you can message me.
