In latterly discovering my strengths, I did the same with my weaknesses, finding that some were bad habits hard to break. However, this didn’t stop me.…

The moment I learned how to read I was in the first grade. I was only seven years old and I went to Northwest Elementary, my teachers name was Mrs. Dousse, every week my teacher would assign us a homework packet we would have to finish at the end of every week.
