Key to Awesoemness: I have a lot of confidence in myself and look for the good in everyone. I think it's important to have goals and work hard to make them happen.  My favorite saying is "Keep it classy."  My mom says, I am maturing into a beautiful young lady, inside and out. Making her proud and keeping her smiling makes me happy.
