My name is Cecilia Robertson, I am 15 years old attending Archie Williams High School and I was born in Marin County, California. I am and only child and grew up extremely close with both of my amazing supportive parents. I grew up dancing and have always had a strong passion for art. I spent most of my childhood in ballet classes and creating all types of arts and crafts. I love any opprotunity to be creative. I've have many different friends throughout the different phases of my life. I love meeting new people and making new connections and my friendships are my favorite parts about life. Most of my closest friendships I have made through school. Another way I have always expressed my creativity is through writing. English is easily my favorite subject along with history. One of my biggest struggles in school is staying fully engaged when I don't understand what's being taught. English and history resonate with me because I never loose my motivation for learning. This year has taught me a lot about how I learn and what works for me. I've grown so much as a student and have begun pushing myself, academically and socially. Freshman year has brought me completely out of my shell and given me so many new valuable memories. I've made amazing new friendships through my classes and surrounded myself with people who encourage me to try my best. I will look back on this year fondly and greatful for how I grew but also try to learn from my many mistakes.Â
