Who Am I?

   Who am I? A hard

question to answer because I am not sure exactly who I am yet. But to start, I am Reese Harnick,

a sophomore student at Whitefish High school in Montana. I am a person who has the freedom of

speech and the luxury of speaking my opinion. A person who gets handed opportunities that are

given to me on a silver platter, that often sadly but truly, are overlooked. A sister and daughter that

has chalk filled hands and velcro skechers. A young heart that laughs, and loves, ferociously and

wildy. A girl who comes from a place of shelter and protection, unknowing of dangers further than

the white picket fence and the green grass. An athlete that is used to the sound of skis passing

by gates and the cowbells ringing. I am best friends with early mornings watching my breath in

front of me. With helmet hair that never seems to go away. I am a student that gets connected and

fully emerged with books and stories. Taking me away to a fictional place at times. I am a student

that focuses so much on math, sometimes I look frozen in time. I am a smile that you see in the

hallways and in the grocery store across the aisle. The Hand that is held out for people who need

it. Someone who has experienced the different cultures and beautiful people in Nepal. Who has

eaten around a table with nine other kids who want to do the same as me, to help the world and

experience different places. It's a strange thing because you don’t think that these places will

change you and affect you as much as they do. I am a person who fell in love with every single

student that I taught this past summer. Someone who feels at home in Millas Guest House,

because of how welcoming they were. I am a student, athlete, sister, daughter, friend who is

beyond excited to be on this astounding journey to Cambodia 2020.
