Since I was a child, I have always believed I viewed the world from a perspective that not many other people could understand. 

As long as I could read, write, and draw, I felt that I could express my feelings and values to others. At gatherings and parties, you could find the younger children running around or muddied up while playing hide and seek. But you could always find me sitting on a chair with a book or in the back of my mother's X-Terra with a whole layout of crayons and sketch paper. I had an imagination that would run wild and preferred to get all my ideas down on paper. Throughout my childhood and teenage years, I would find every outlet of expression - singing, dancing, sports, all while still drawing for fun. In my Junior year of high school, I decided to take art and business classes in hopes of having my own business one day.
