Hi I'm Illiana and I am going to be a freshman next year at De La Salle. I moved into Lowry Hill three months ago. The community has really welcomed me, which I love. My interests are piano, singing, acting, dancing, drawing, volleyball, family and friends. I have included two of my drawings. These drawings are very meaningful to me given the hard times we have had recently, not just in the Minneapolis community but the whole world. My first piece is titled: "Take a breath." The second piece is titled: "Falling Angel" with this anonymous quote: “There are the most devilish thoughts in the most angelic minds." I hope I can get to know more of this community and make some new friends.
