Please tell us about your current plans after high school and what inspired you to choose this path? I will be taking a gap year just so I can figure out exactly what I would like to do as a career in the future. Throughout High School I always wanted to work as an Interior Designer or an Entrepreneur. Both careers inspired and still inspire me to this day because I enjoy working around my home, and having a business would show me that I was able to be successful on my own.
Please tell us a little bit about your family. I live with my brother, my kitten and my mother. My mother is a single mother who raised my brother and I on her own. She inspires me everyday and has been the best example to me ever since I was a child. My mother who is a mother and father to me has always been my only support and she motivates me so I can have the opportunity to graduate High School. She taught me that I can be happy and successful with or without the help of others.
