She attended Dabney S. Lancaster. She has always had a passion for reading and writing. She loves animals but is allergic to cats. An avid Elvis Presley fan since she could remember as well as Rod Stewart but loves all types of music.

Beyond the Skin

Her beauty is more than skin deep
It goes beyond superficial
For she has a heart of gold
And a mind like no other

Always the one to put others first
Never regretting her decision
Ingrained in her head
From birth
Always the caregiver
Hard-working from sun-up
To sundown

Never does she wonder
Who am I?
For she already knows
She is a strong woman
Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
