I live in a small town right by Columbus, in a small school, in an average family. I exist both online and at school, and I have a giant pool of people I get along with, since my school is only a couple hundred kids. Though my life, I’ve never done much of anything besides art, and I horseback rode up until the middle of sophomore year, when I got my fifth concussion due to an accident involving a falling tree. I consider myself normal, but I do think I’m social and artistic. I love cartoons, and have a love for anime, even though it’s a little embarassing to admit. When I was younger, I used to read a lot, but after I got my laptop in 8th grade, that flew out the window and was dragged away by a little thing called “tumblr”. However, even though I love the digital world, I have a passion for gardening, and I love planting flowes and seeingn them bloom in the spring and summer. I don’t think there’s anything more rewarding than seeing colors spring fourth from thin, green stems in the warmer months. The reason why I wanted to crate this booklet is because of the recent decrese in honey bees, and it’s threat to the food industry and life in general. These are just some flowers to help feed the bees!
