I'm often described as outspoken and blunt, but I see myself as courageous enough to speak the truth. I prioritize things other than money. I plan to use this year to establish my reputation. Because I'm open-minded, I can easily get along with everyone, including my two roommates. Despite what they may think, there's more to me than just being a rich, pampered girl. You'll discover more about me as you continue reading.

Sometimes I can be all over the place, but that's just because I'm a creative soul. Moving from a small town to a big city has been a real challenge. Since my mom passed away, I feel even more lost about who I am. I might be a bit clueless, but I'm lucky to have my two roommates to help me figure things out. I'm determined to find my own identity and make a difference in the world. I want to keep alive the kindness and understanding my mom always showed.

I have ambitious aspirations that motivate me. Being raised by a single mother taught me that perseverance is just as essential as hard work. Growing up in modest circumstances, I understand the importance of financial stability. I felt quite anxious about living with two unfamiliar girls. Before moving in, I made sure to secure two jobs to avoid any financial difficulties. Despite occasionally procrastinating, I believe my loyalty and patience will be beneficial on this new venture.
