Who am I?

My name is Alyssa and I just turned 17 on July 30th. I have been playing softball ever since I can remember, it has definitely shaped who I am as a person and taught me several life lessons. I am really close with my family and they all influence me in a good way. I'm really close with my sister even though she is 7 years older than me. She has shown me that in order to succeed you must work hard and try your best to get to the top. I have learned from softball that people make mistakes and it is okay to lose at times but to never get down on yourself. My parents have taught me respect and other values and even though sometimes I don't agree with the advice they have to give me, I know they're right. My goal after high school is to go to Columbia College in Chicago and study fashion. When I graduate college I want to have a job that I love going to everyday and not have to come home and complain about how I hate my boss or how stressful it is...which I know is very hard to come by. I'd really like to study abroad for fashion in Paris because I know it would be an amazing experience. However, after college when I eventually get married I want to live in the country. I want to major in fashion whether it's design or styling because it gives people confidence and interior design gives people comfort. I like being able to make people happy. I love hanging out with my friends we always have fun even if we're doing nothing and I value my close friends a lot. We're really random and weird but I love it. There are things that people don't know about me up front but when I get closer to people I let my gaurd down.
