Blog Post #1 (Introduce yourself)

How do I introduce myself?  Well, I am a very independent person and I am very shy.  I wanted to take this class because of the mental illnesses part, so I can learn more about myself!  I am hoping when i am done with this class that i can be more out going and not so shy.  The only reason I am scared to show myself right now is because i don't know what people will think of me.  Things I like to do are hang with friends, play call of duty, draw, write lyrics, and sing!  Things that make me tick are when people start drama with me, or they talk about me behind my back.  When I am done with high school i plan to go to Fox Valley Technical college for architecture because I want to draw the plans for building houses and companies or I would like to go University of Wisconsin in Madison because I would like to be a zoologist, so I can study animals!  My favorite thing about living is that there are always new animals to discover and explore!
