Who I am... and a secret???

Hi all,
I am supposed to be studying for my upcoming tests, which I am feeling so much anxiety for, I get to take them next week but the thought of them are making me feel so overwhelmed. So instead of studying I thought I would let the world get to know me more. My friends that know me well, will tell you I am a unique individual, which doesn't bother me to hear, because why fit in, when I was born to stand out. I have been compared to an onion, because once you think you know me, I will say something or do something that they were not expecting. I think it is a good thing to have depth to a personality.  Don't you agree? 
This year, in the mist of everything I have been going through, I have adapted a motto, which I live by and that is: I am stronger than I think I am, I didn't know how strong I was, until I have gone through what I have been through this last year.
I love how life is one challenge after another, followed by many, many more. I look at my life and I know my Father in Heaven is preparing me for something, bigger and I will need these experiences to draw from. To say I am strong and tough, because I can do hard things. (This is the pep talk I always give myself) it works like a gem.
Keeping that in mind, this year I have also taken the time to get to know what makes me, me! What things do I truly love to do, and what do I not like to do. What makes me happy and what do I dread to do? I have found there is a lot I love to do! I would like to share a few things that make me so happy, through picture! 

I love being outside, I love hiking!

I love to look at the views from high places! 

Learning how to rock climb! 

I find peace in the mountains! 

Love hanging out with my friends!

 

Love being goofy! 

Love burning marshmallows!

I love finding things, like a rope swing and playing in the wilderness 

My friend break-dancing at the top of Mount Timp 

Love learning new things.
 I may not have a lot of street smarts, but I love learning!
I am a nerd and am learning to love that part of me! 

Love making new friends! 

Traveling to hang out with friends! Learning to fear the Tree ( Stanford) 

I am hooked and want to learn how to paraglide! Best thing ever, I wish I was bird!

Being around kids! 

Love hanging out with my Nephews!

I hope this gives you a better idea of who I am. I should also let you all in on a secret, I only take pictures when I get bored. So to you out there that haven't seen me take a picture you have done a good job at keeping me entertained.

I just realized the time and need to be off to a study group.

As always thanks for reading!
