Author: Estella Herrera

My name is Estella Herrera. What I do is attend school (graduating soon), and I also go to the gym quite often after school.

My interests are drawling, playing violin, and soccer. My hobbies are baking/cooking, and also painting (still in the processes of learning those skills). My strengths are having good communication skills, and also being a fast learner.

One big challenge I face is when I get really bad anxiety in public (like in very large crowds). What motivates me is myself, because I’m scared of failure. My goals in life are to become stable financially and living decently (not struggling).

My greatest value is to never become a heartless person and always stay kind even if others hurt me. I don’t believe I have many great accomplishments yet in life, but I believe me being there for my friends and family when they need me the most is a great thing.

I think a unique trait that I have is being left handed, because I hardly know anyone else that is a leftie. Most are mainly right handed.
