Sharing Relatable Stories for Relatable Students from Relatable Scenes, letting you know that no matter what you face in life, YOU'RE NOT ALONE! A student is someone who is constantly learning, so we are all students of life. As a 14 yr old TV, Radio, Event Host and student I've observed that NO MATTER WHO you are or HOW old you are or even HOW different a life you live, everyone faces the same tests in life. So at XXXRS I want to share those answers, as a community, with the world. Learning from the past and preparing for the future, because that is what makes us who we are in the present.
