Veronica Salrin (any pronouns) is a sophomore at Center Grove High School in Greenwood, Indiana. This is their first time publishing, and they are beyond grateful for the opportunity to. Veronica struggles with a connective tissue disorder, and uses writing to describe their struggles in these areas. They hope to attend Rice University, Depaul University, or Carnegie Mellon to pursue a career in the design field or social service field. In their free time, Veronica likes to sew, design interiors, create jewelry, and spend time with their family. They would like to thank their family and their close friends for always being supportive and encouraging to them
