My name is Shawna Vankirk im 17 years old, I'm a junior in highschool and im looking for a better opportunity. I struggle in school very much and I feel myself falling and I don't want to fail. I feel like this school could help some with that because I need one-on-one help and I do not get that currently where I'm at I've struggled for going on three years now. I enjoy art and I absolutely love writing.
