I am facing a candle. The candle light only shines on half the window. The half in the light shows a clear sky, with a few clouds and olive branches tracing the bottom. The darker side of the window portrays the opposite. The blue candle represents hope. As the hope of light shines on the outside, I can see possibilities. However, without hope many people in the community give up because all they see is negativity.
I live with my mother. I have three older brothers; the oldest passed away and the other two are in college. I dislike ignorance. I like all types of art. I am currently on the girls swim team. I am an aspiring artist and I also sing, dance and write. I would like to be a teacher and a working artist.
