My name is Becca and I am a student at Downers Grove High School. I enjoy
dancing, mainly tap, clogging (not wooden shoes), and jazz. I also love
to sing and act. I'm a people person, well, when I'm around people I like.
I love music and one of my favorite bands is Offspring,
I love their song Why Don't You Get A Job. I enjoy making people
laugh and making them feel good. My
friends are weird just like me and I love it, that's how I stay in a good
mood the whole day.
