About Me: Female, 22, Eastern, NC, member since Dec 2007
I am seventeen years old. I love children, reading, writing fiction, horseback riding, flying, and, of course, sleeping - which teenager doesn't? i am a straight a student, have a 3.95 gpa, and rank 8 / 269 in my high school class (SENIOR!!, class of '09). I am in AF
