About me
My name is Lucy, and I’m a junior in high school. I enjoy taking on new projects, especially ones that give back to our community and make a real difference. I also have a soft spot for senior citizens, so working on projects that support them is especially meaningful to me.
I’m really looking forward to helping make each senior citizen’s day a little brighter.

About me
My name is Waylen, and I’m a junior in high school. I like to design and create.
