Summary

One of my biggest achievements, was helping my grandfather beat cancer by giving him the best care I knew of. Which encouraged me into going to the nursing field and a second achievement, is graduating highschool and going straight into college to brighten my future. Lastly, was getting my artwork into the Chicagoland art show, and being able to walk across the stage to grab my reward for my 4x5 drawings.
