Abby Ryan

Originally, I sat next to Michael, but then him and Bay wanted to sit together, so now I sit next to Abby. Abby is very nice, but I did not know much about her before this year. I knew of her and that she was in the academy. She is best friends with Keaton, or it appears like it. They switched numbers for their yearbook picture, so under Abby in the yearbook will actually be a picture of Keaton. I found this amusing. She had always seemed quiet to me, so I hadn't talked to her much before I sat next to her in English. I enjoy talking to her, and she is definitely not an annoying person to sit next to. She is very into math and science, and she reads math and science books, which I find intriguing because I also like math and science. The thing we have most in common is how we like math and science much more than English(sorry Mr. Logsdon) and how we don't like elaborating on our feelings and blabbing on about the same thing in English. I don't think she is sports person. I would characterize her as the color white because she is pure and very smart. She doesn't brag about being one of the smarter people in our class, but is is obvious that is is through her knowledge and the scores she gets on things. At first, we didn't talk very much, but now she has opened up and will randomly be really talkative and hilarious, which I have loved. She always has really good ideas to say in the discussions, and I try to make her say them. She is one of those people that doesn't have to be constantly talking to someone or hanging out with someone to be happy, which I am jealous of because I don't really like just being alone. She was kind of mysterious before I met her because I didn't know a lot about her life because she is very modest and I was curious about what type of person she is. I see her in five years pursuing her gifts of math and science and being successful in what she does. If she were an animal, she would be a dove because she is calm and peaceful. I have enjoyed getting to know Abby, and I hope to continue to get to know her.
