My life has always been a whirlwind of colors, places, and people. Both of my parents were in the army so by the time I started high school I had lived in over seven different places (including South Korea.) The diversity of my early years eventually led to my diversity as a person. I am an avid reader and writer, an artist (I do anything from sketches to sculptures), a rising pianist, and an amateur entrepreneur.
Unfortunately, the summer of my sophomore year, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. High school is hard enough, but having an "allergy" to anything that comes in contact with wheat, barley, and rye was certainly an unwanted challenge. So for the past two years I've been struggling to find a way to cope with the most food-orientated time of our lives. Through it all, I've learned so much and with this knowledge I started teenceliac.
