I am a homeschooler in 12th grade. I took the SAT a couple years ago so that I could enroll in the local Junior College as a dual enrollment student. Now I am studying organic chemistry and human anatomy and physiology! I am a second-degree black belt in karate, and I play piano. I have two dogs, a bird, and a cat.
