Who Am I?

Hi my name is Rebecca. Im 16 and in my Junior year of high school. I was born in Charlotte, North Carolina and moved when i was 3. I've lived in Miramar the majority of my life. My elementary, and middle, and high school are literally on the same road. That being said i've grown up with the same kids since kindergarten. I only have one brother that graduated '22 and he is being sent off to UCF in a couple days. I live with my mom and dad, and my grandparents are just a 15 minute ride away. I have 4 pets, Zoey and Blu are dogs and Salem and Pebbles are cats. 

Growing up, i was always told I was smart and always was in the more advanced classes. I always made A's and B's and was never allowed to drop below that. As soon as Covid hit i lost all motivation to keep up. My grade completely dropped. The lectures my parents gave me everyday turned to background noise as the work load just continued to pile up. Even if i put in effort, it was impossible to catch up. My mom just thought I depressed and got me a therapist and put on medication to help. Still nothing helped. As i got more familiar with my therapist, she suggested to my mom to get me tested for ADHD. After the diagnosis, everything got easier. Certain traits i displayed as a kid made sense. Now, i've learned new strategies to help and slowing being my GPA back up. 

Why am I taking this class?

I'm current taking Digital digital 3. There we take and edit photos, learn different Adobe programs and taught overall photography. I'm not much of a musician or an athlete so I really enjoy staying behind the scenes. I've always wanted to get into video editing and videography so when i heard it was going to be part of this class i was excited to start. To be fair, i was thinking of switching out, but now im 100% hooked on staying and can't wait to continue. :)
