A place to show my work
Technology has essentially taken over my job. In the beginning, when I first started working, everything was done with physical books and printed materials. However, now everything is digital, whether on an iPad or a computer. We have become very reliant on the internet, and there are times when the system goes down, forcing us to revert back to using paper-based information.
I don’t say no to things that get in the way of my goals as much as I should, but I’m trying to change that. It can be hard to focus on what I want, especially when new chances come up that look tempting. I’m learning to think carefully about what matches my goals and to be clear about my limits. It’s a work in progress, but I’m dedicated to getting better at making choices so I can stay on track and reach what I want to achieve.
I often think it would be amazing to have the ability to speak every language fluently. Imagine being able to connect with people from all over the world effortlessly, understanding their cultures and perspectives. It would open up so many opportunities for travel, friendships, and learning.
My favorite type of weather is when it’s sunny outside, with just the right temperature—not too hot and not too cold. It’s the perfect day to enjoy the outdoors, maybe go for a walk or have a picnic!
My most influential teacher was Ms. Lowry. From the very first day in her class, she created an environment that was warm and welcoming, making it easy for us to express ourselves without fear of judgment. What truly set her apart was her unwavering belief in each of her students, including me.
There were times when I struggled academically and doubted my abilities. However, Ms. Lowry always saw potential in me that I couldn’t recognize in myself. She took the time to provide extra help, encouraging me to ask questions and explore my ideas thoroughly. Her feedback was always constructive and insightful, which motivated me to improve and take risks in my learning.
Thanks to her belief in me, I gained confidence and developed a love for learning that continues to drive me today.
I often think about how much I want to spend more time being creative every day. There are so many things I enjoy doing, drawing pictures, writing and working on different projects. When I get the chance to express myself through these activities, I always feel happier and more alive.

I have always wanted a tattoo, but I have never gotten one. I would like it to symbolize my struggles with social anxiety and serve as a reminder of how far I have come. I would prefer to have the tattoo on my wrist so that I can see it whenever I need encouragement. I am open for any ideas
One word that describes me is kind. I strive to be supportive and understanding, always looking to help others and promote a positive atmosphere.
I had to think about this for a bit, but if I had to choose between an airplane, train, bus, car, or bike, I would pick a train. Riding on a train allows me to see the countryside as I travel. In an airplane, you don’t get to see much because you’re just going from one point to another without taking in nature. Buses feel too crowded, and cars can also be quite cramped. As for biking, that’s not really an option for me.

The most confident person I know would have to be my friend Lisa. She just screams confidence from the moment you first meet her.

Below are some of the strategies my therapist and I have come up with to help with my negative thoughts. These work for me but they might not work for everyone.

I often lose myself in art, reading, and sometimes writing. Creating art lets me express my feelings and imagination while reading transports me to different worlds and introduces me to diverse stories. Writing helps me articulate my thoughts and emotions. Together, these activities provide a creative outlet and help me connect with myself on a deeper level.
Yes, but not overly so—only with a few things. I find some superstitions intriguing, like knocking on wood or avoiding walking under ladders. They can be fun to think about, but I don’t let them dictate my actions too much.

I would go on a shopping spree at an art store like Michaels. I love being creative, and they have so many fun things to choose from—paints, brushes, canvases, and all kinds of craft supplies. I could get everything I need to make amazing art projects. Plus, there are always new things to explore, so I’d never get bored! It would be a great way to spend the day and let my imagination run wild.

My middle name is Ann. It has no special meaning other than that my mom liked the name Ann. Additionally, it contributes to my initials, MAD, which I find pretty cool.
