I'm 19 years old. I was born and raised in Oakland, CA, but now live in Redwood City, CA. I'm a pre-nursing student. I am open and respectful to all types of people. I come from a very diverse family, so I am used to differences. I speak both English and Spanish. If you have a different opinion than I do, I will still respect you, and I expect others to do the same. I like to watch movies, work out, read, study (a lot!) and practice many types of martial art.I wrestled for a few years in high school, but am now retired from that. My two favorite movies genres are horror and martial arts. There are far too many users here on YA that are arrogant, bigoted trolls. My answers will not contain any hatred or negative judgement in them. I respect all for who they are, not what they stand for. I believe in God, but I don't follow any organized religion. I look forward to helping others on here.

  • Do colleges look at your high school attendance?

    I'm currently a senior in high school, and plan on applying to schools sometime in the winter. So far I've had 21 latenesses this year, but I've only had one absence. Will they use that against me? I still have good grades and try hard in school.

  • Why can't conservatives..?

    Realize that we have a separation of church and state? Things like same-sex marriage, abortion, and stem-cell research are frowned upon because of religious morals, don't deny it.
