Hello,

My name is Theressa Hick, but I prefer to go by Tessa. I am 20 years old and am in my second year of university. I am majoring in English and minoring in education in the hopes to be a Creative Writer or English teacher in future. I love writing, reading, music/singing and art projects in general, though drawing is not my specialty. I am a hard worker, and while I am not very outgoing I am still happy to chat with others. 

I grew up in Shawnigan Lake BC, and Alajuela Costa Rica. I have travelled to a couple of other countries, however, all of them have been in either Central or North America. In future, I hope to broaden my knowledge of other countries but for right now the only other place I have any experience with is Costa Rica. 

Lastly, I am an animal lover, as depicted on my homepage. Currently, I can’t have pets (got to love renting) but I have had rabbits and guinea pigs as well as have looked after many a cat. Consequently, cats have now become my favourite animal!
