Sartorial Signature?

- I wear the same clothes like everyday, but I would say black jeans. Or layers I alway have to have a jacket or sweater 

What's one of your most valuable possessions? 

-This is hard... I have like three is that ok? 

- Well my ring my grandma, it's actually an heirloom and it's really special 

- my bunny (b.b.) I've had since forever and it just gives me warm good feelings! 

-and my headphones, bc you can't catch me without them. 

What does being a doof mean to you? 

- To be a doof wow ok umm...out of the ordinary, like you understand that you are kooky and different and knowing thats a good thing!

What do you stand for?

-I stand up for people, and myself because, some people don't feel strong enough to stand by themselves, and self advocating is key!

What's your take on feminism? 

- I think Feminism is an individual thing. I believe many people view it differently. A comment someone said at Feminist coalition "there not a check list to be a feminist." For me it's doing something to support others (activism),equality, independence, freedom of your own actions(ex: planned parenthood), and discussion (ex:like keep up with your knowledge of feminism and expanding your views). Feminism isn't dead and I am proud to call myself one!

How do you describe yourself? 

I am gunna do a list 

-Mature: unless I feel like I can be relaxed and goofy.

-An Old Maid: I rarely get asked to go hang out/anywhere, unless it's my Mom or Mags lol #loser

-Introvert: to relax or cool down from everything I like to be alone. 
-Adventurous: I am so excited for what's to Come in my life, I can't wait for college!!

-Strong: throughout my life I have had ups and down and recently I have really felt strong to have made it here. 

-Caring: I really hate letting someone down or hurting someone and I strive to be as kind to others as I can 

P.S. If u need it I love u <3 

Talk about something you think is important? 

- I think it's important to be as respectful to others as possible. You never what someone is going though, or how they will react to a negative comment. So I encourage myself and others to be aware of their surroundings.  

Anything else you'd like to talk about or add?

- you go though life picking up interests and knowledge, but don't keep it to yourself share it with others around you. 

-be kind ;o) 

Thanks for answering so well Kelly :)) Look for our next DOTW next Monday!
