I'm a student at the Green Dot New York Charter School in the Bronx. I am Sequoia. I am a poet, writer, and a budding actress. I was born on July 8th at Union Hospital in the Bronx. From the time I was two years old, I was a drama queen. An important moment for me, was walking through the halls of Green Dot for the first time on July 12th, 2010. I have lived in many different places. I’ve been skipped around three different boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, and the Island of Manhattan. When I was three years old my parents decided to move to Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Things obviously didn’t work out, because six months later we moved to Manhattan. To be more specific, we moved to 114th and Lexington all the way in Harlem. Again, things got perilous, so we hastened ourselves to the Bronx where I reside today.

I’m a different person at school. I’m eager to learn new things, and learn about the major advances of science. At school, I try to be very friendly even though others perceive me to be a mean person. I feel everyone should be treated equally and I have no problem defending anyone. In school, I have various strengths. My strengths are Science, Writing, and Global History. It would be nice if I actually WORKED to my full potential, but being a nerd is a physical and mental battle I haven’t conquered yet.

Outside of school, I am a very different person. I basically isolate myself from the outside world. When I get home the first thing I do is head to the following: MY ROOM. My room is the only place I have where I can think, cry, or let out any emotions I am feeling. My room describes me perfectly. It’s pink to symbolize my peachy attitude, It has two beds. One for me, and one for my sister, It also has posters of my favorite artist Michael Jackson and my Laptop Brenda. I’m great at many things in my home. I cook, I clean, and I do laundry. Honestly, I don’t know much or when I became such a “neat freak”. When the house is a mess, I go CRAZY. There are many things people don’t know about me. People shouldn’t judge a book by its cover and many people forget that.
