  I started looking for a group by asking people in my class. When I ask, said they mostly already had a group or knew who they were going to do it with. I then had to move to friends in other classes. I sent a message in our group chat, but most of them already had a group or weren't in the class. I found two people willing to let me into their group. Those three friends were Benjamin Adelson, Nicolas Williams, and Blake Dash. They were already in a group together. Eventually I was able to convince them to let me join as well. They were also both people I knew very well and knew we would make a great group. Our parent had already met multiple times so it would be easy to arrange a day we could meet up for the project.

We are all good workers and are able to complete our task. One way or another we finish what we are assign...

I got my cat when I was very young during a soccer world cup where Argentina, my family's home country, was playing. I got my dog by adoption here in Florida. Although I was born in Florida, all my family except my parents live in Argentina and they where born there as well. I have 5 cousins who I see relatively regularly, as I only go vi...
