I am currently a Junior here at ESU working towards a major in Elementary Education. I am the oldest of two children in my family and enjoy spending time with friends just hanging out and having fun. My future goal in life is to become some sort of an administrator and to be a coach in the school district.

Fashion in Australia is fairly similar to that of the fashion here in the U.S. It has its dressy people and it has its relaxed and laid back people that wear shorts and a t shirt. Some people wear high socks (mostly women) whereas the majority of people wear short socks with tennis shoes or sandals depending on the weather.
