Impact on My Life
Sometimes I feel socially inept. I no longer go to public school, which I am glad of. I don't like to tell people that I have Stargardts either. I will not be able to get a driver's license, and that is beginning to bother me.

Too many to list.
More About Me
I love horses, especially my Arabian gelding named Storm. I train and compete at horse shows. I attend a cyber based school. I hope to one day own and operate a horse ranch. I want to have a facility large enough to provide board, riding lessons, training, breeding, trail rides, carriage rides, and camps for innercity youth and children with disabilities. Oh, did I mention I LOVE HORSES!!!
