I am a sweet and lovely girl from the city. I grew up on the streets of New York City with my mom who is an artist. I had to grow up quickly since I had to fend for myself at times. But it made me strong and determined to succeed in life. I always knew that I wanted to be more than just a street kid, so I worked hard in school, got good grades and landed a scholarship to study art at college. Now I am 18 years old, independent and ready to take on the world.
I've had my fair share of struggles as well. I was once homeless for a while when my mom couldn't pay rent anymore. It was tough but it taught me how to be resourceful and strong. And even though we didn't have much money sometimes, she always encouraged me to pursue my dreams no matter what.
My dream is to become an artist like my mom one day. I love painting and drawing beautiful things that make people smile. Life has its ups and downs but with a lot of hard work and determination you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
