Seattle Move -The Big Leap-

I'm going places with my life. No matter what comes at me I get through it. I'm tough as nails and resourceful. I've worked since I was 13 from entrepreneurship to cave guiding to McDonald's, I'll work hard anywhere. Over the years I've managed to save up 10k. I have a 3.97 GPA and over 30 college credit hours before graduating highschool. I have been accepted into every college I've applied to and offered admittance to some that I didn't.

I'll be the first to admit my life has not been easy. During my first year of public highschool when I was excelling academically and involved in 5 different clubs and initiated in the National Honor Society. I was outed to my family as Trans. I didn't want to come out to them because I knew it would make my life a living hell, but they found out due to overhearing a conversation I had with a friend. Since then I was pulled from school, my car was taken, I wasn't allowed to leave the house unsupervised, the ongoing emotional abuse worsened, and physical abuse began with me even ending up in the hospital in December. On top of all this I have struggled with chronic illness all my life.

Because family relationships were very unsafe and unhealthy an amazing crew of people I barely knew helped me get organized and move out of the house on my 18th birthday. I'm currently living with a pseudo foster family. I'm so thankful for the generous amazing people that have already helped me. I feel that my dreams are almost within reach.

I'm going to move to Seattle Washington, take a year of online classes to get my associates degree, and then receive my bachelor's in conservation and natural resources from the University of Washington. I love art, sculpture, drawing, printmaking. I'm excited to start my life and adventure through it all. Despite all the challenges I'm ready to take life by the horns.
