My likes:TV, all kinds of music, the Internet, comics, going to the park and hanging out on the swings, being outside, writing stories, meeting with my friends, Border's, the movie "The Grudge" My story:Tuesdays and Thursdays I go to COD. My grandmother gets me up early, and I take the train and the bus there. Thursdays, I go to school. Fridays, I work. I do the cash register, stocking, customer services.. anything pretty much. I spend a lot of time at my grandmother's house hanging out with my cousin. Wednesday is Cousin's Night! I completed the "Pathways to Self-Advocacy" program and one of my goals was to learn how to play the guitar. I did it! I found a music coach, learned and praticed and performed "I'll be watching you" in front of friends and family. I am creative and one of my goals is to be more positive. LifeMyWay means:It's being who I am. I want people to know what I want and not just let them walk all over me. Because if you don't, then other people will decide for you and decide what you're going to do... It shouldn't be like that otherwise, they control you. My dreams:I wanted to be a veterinarian to help animals but then I started watching House (the TV show) and realized that people are so much more interesting! I like helping people.
