San Antonio, Texas

My name is Niraja and I am a 17-year-old girl who is excitedly enjoying her final year of high school. Although I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, I’ve been living in Texas for nearly three years now. Both my old home and my new one have stolen my heart. Reading is my favorite hobby, and I’ve been flying through books for as long as I can remember. My love for reading has also helped mold my love for creative writing, and I enjoy writing poetry and short stories in my leisure time. Some of my other hobbies include blogging, painting, volunteering at our local library and watching "The Bachelorette" (or just about any other television show on ABC)!
