Focus


Stop

Take a second look at me

What do you see?

Is it obvious to the naked I who I am?

Maybe?

No

Pay close attention

What am I wearing?

Trendy right?

What's in my hand?

A camera perhaps

Oh yes, I love fashion and photography

Do you care?

Maybe?

No

Pay closer attention

3.5 GPA

Do you see potential?

It's a number.. with a decimal

Does that matter to you? 

It means everything to me

Here I am

My senior year in high school

I need you

Can you help me?

Maybe?

No

Are you paying attention?

Is my voice being heard?

I need your help

So come on
