Introduction

Hey! My name is Courtney Lexus Loraine Ridle. I'm 16 years old and will be a junior when schoo starts. I live in Gary, IN. I live with both of my bioligical parents in glen park. I have one brother who is currently in college and living in Missouri. The people i look up to most are my grandmother and my mom. They have always been there for me and are always encouraging me to do my best and excel in all that I do. My favorite color is purple. I love music ! I listen to all types, but my favorite type of music would probably be pop. My goals in life are to graduate high school, go off to college, and become an RN. I am a youth worker at the Central District (nick named CDOP). Here I am learning to become a community activist. I am learning alot about my city, the government, and ways I can make a difference. From this program I hope to gain more insight and skills that I can use for the rest of my life.
