Integrity and honesty. I value being real, even if it's scary/risky--that's called growing. I also want to know one listens to their conscious and is able to follow their moral compass, even in the most difficult situations.

My ambition. I knew from the age of 12 I wanted to live in Paris, France to study at the collegiate level. When I graduated high school in May 2020, I had worked for 4 months prior to try to make this happen, and after countless tribulations, I was able to successfully study abroad in a foreign country by myself during a global pandemic. When I want something, I will stop at nothing until I get it.

Body diversity representation. As someone who had to recover from anorexia at the age of 17, there is a reason why eating disorders are the most fatal psychiatric illness. With our extreme focus on social media, our youth are succumbing to wanting the "perfect body", but the universal perfect body doesn't exist. Everyone has their own version of healthy, and we shouldn't be shaming/guilting others into changing their appearance.
