Austin might be one of the youngest and active cities in the United States! It has an air of youth that one can’t help but love. Even those that one might not call young are out and playing with the most youthful people. There is a strong outdoor

I would like to demonstrate the value of the great opportunities and random kindness of others not often learned in the school environment. Through the wacky journey I hope to inspire and teach that it is ok to go after what you believe in, to live your dreams, and to keep communication open from child to parent. Through a healthy
