April 16, 2019
In the fifth grade, most girls get their ears pierced or shop at Brandy Melville for the first time. I, on the other hand, was purchasing my first blazer. And that is where it all began. Always looking as if I am walking into a business meeting, I’m the type of person to wear dress shirts, blazers, and ple...

I am a 16-year-old high school student, and I spent almost half of my summer living alone in the biggest city in the United States.
