Fun fact about me: I like making mandala art sketches by hand.

Favorite Quote: How people treat you is their choice, how you treat them is yours.

Best piece of advice I have ever been given: No matter how big the task seems, always break it down into smaller steps, and work towards it one step at a time. There is no way you’re going to be able to do all of them at the same time.
