Donna's Story
As many of you know, I moved to Texas our senior year of high school. It was quite a culture shock - and I might add, an unpleasant one. I thought I had left civilization and gone back in time 20 years. It was the end of the world - or so I thought.

As you can see, I enjoy the simple things in life like family, friendship, and a love of nature.
