My name is Abby.  I am in 8th grade and I have always loved to write and share my ideas with others. In my free time I like to play with my dog, read, paint, and cook/bake. I love all animals and working with them. I believe animals make the world a better place. When I grow up, I want to be a philanthropist. I want to make an impact on the world in a positive way. I am in many other clubs including Student senate, Best buddies, FFA, Yearbook, and Drama. Ever since I was old enough, I have been helping out the community in every way I could. I picked up trash on the side of the road, volunteered at city mission picnics, and I did coffee houses with my family at the TenEyck senior center. I hope you enjoy reading my articles.
