I have a lot to say, but I will try my best to say it in a short bio. :P When I started thinking of the future of my life, I knew I wanted to be a singer and an actress. But, later I realized that I just didn't want to do that. Nothing seemed to be calling out to me, until my mother took me to Brazil. I just started homeschooling and learning about myself more. Brazil was a beautiful country, but I saw many children running around looking for food and literally living in cardboard houses. My mom helped them, gave them food, and spoke to them. I began being inspired, after that trip my whole view of the world became different. I was never a selfish person, but it seemed like I was blind to what was happening around me. I saw many documentaries talking about how we can help our Earth from destruction, help others from dying. I knew I just had to help people and animals. People who didn't have a voice against the government. I wanted to become a journalist and anthropologist. Now, I know (as you can see) I am a photographer. Well, here comes that story! When I went on a 40 day trip across America (which was epic), I picked up my first professional camera mostly out of boredom. I started to snap photos of plants, and became fascinated. Soon I started taking photos of animals and family. I was in love with that camera, and still am. I started to go to aquariums and asking them about their care for the animals, do they save them? Or capture them? I wanted to know more, how could I help, I'm only a teenager. No one will listen to me. Years went by and I learned to be confident in who I was, not care what anyone said, to stand up for myself, and help. I want to change the world, not just stand around and wish it to be better. So, I love photography as a hobby but also as a change-maker. I love my notebook, but not only as a book waiting to be writer, but as a scissor that cuts down those curtains of lies that government gives the world. "Behind every monster, lives a person
