Hi, my name is Marry. I’m 18 years old, and this is a little story about who I am and how I see the world. I was born in a small town where everyone seems to know each other. Growing up there taught me the value of community, kindness, and simple joys. As a *****, I was always curious. I asked too many questions, read every book I could find, and loved imagining different futures for myself. I used to dream about becoming a writer, a teacher, a designer—sometimes all at once.
