About Me
I am a university student. Psychology major and sociology-social work minor. I love to write stories and read books. I love horses and animals, and own a pony named Breeze. She is my life. I have been through alot of in my life, but I like to live it, not just exist. If you ever need someone to talk to or just to listen, I'm here for anyone. Rainbows make me smile.
Interests
I love watching movies of every genre. I also love to read stories, ranging from fantasy to nonfiction. I love helping people and hope one day to either be a child consellor or a kindergarten teacher. I have a passion for working with younger children and hope to dedicate my life to them.
