Although I'm only eighteen I have had a lot of hardships. I've struggled with anxiety since 7th grade and am just now learning that I don't have to please everyone. I started photography in the eighth grade and found that it was something I enjoyed greatly and it gave me an escape from the real world that didn't always seem that great. I'm the youngest of eight kids and I couldn't love my big, weird, family more. Even though there are plenty of arguments over things such as who ate my potato chips? or stop wearing my clothes! we all still love each other and would be there for one another in a heartbeat. Having a big family may seem like a lot to deal with but I wouldn't change it for the world. My goal of my work is to make people see the world from another perspective or to make others think in a way they might not have before.
