| Introduction | I say that I am smart, have weird toes, have an open mind and heart, and am up for a challenge. My best friends say my toes aren't that bad, I'm always there when they need me, and I'm honest. My mom says I'm just like her, except for my stubborn attitude, which she of course blames on my dad. |
