I finished Freshman year of HS! It wasn’t exactly what I had expected but to be honest, But I am not exactly sure what I expected.

Here's my main tips: 

Be open – to people, to try new things, to new experiences

Be open to new friends and friendships

Be involved with school activities – sports, clubs etc. – which helps you meet different people.

I really enjoyed homecoming because it created so many classic high school memories. Another highlight was my AP Human Geography class. Though the class was stressful, I loved the teacher and met a lot of good friends!

Now that it's summer, I am picking up a couple of hobbies!!

I love crocheting – and I have made baby blankets, plushies etc.

I am also now learning to sew and to make a quilt

I started because I saw a documentary on Netflix called “Quilters” which is about a group of men in prison who are making quilts, and it looked so cool!

Also I am also co-hosting a local radio show. Can you believe it? Me on a radio show!

If you are in Dallas-Ft Worth, tune in to FM 104.1 on Sundays at 5 PM and call in!
