AP Class Reflection Paper
As my junior year comes to an end, there are many ways that I have grown as an academic student and global citizen. I have become more college ready and have taken action over a social issue that I am passionate about.

The purpose of the lanyard was to show that she is an LGBT supporter and to show that she is a safe person to talk to.
