they know what you want in life

    you want the grades

            you want the friends

                    you want the popularity

                             you want the money

                                                                                                                                            is that all necessary

but what you really want is to be happy

                 you want the job

                 you want the spouse

                 you want YOUR dream

                 you just want one

My name is Alexis. I play lacrosse and I ride horses for my local 4h club. I am really involved in my Church and my job. I love hanging out with my friends and I enjoy a nice movie at the theaters and/ or at home. Education is key. And my favorite quote is: "If you knew how powerful your thoughts were; you would never think a negative thought again."
