Andrew Slaughter (right) I attend Grant High School and I am 16 years old and I will be a junior this coming Fall. I love working with people and I am trying to gain better communication skills. In my spare time I like to hang out with my friends and family, play football and write. In my community I try to be someone that kids can look up to. One day I plan on being a famous screen writer or movie director.
