My name is Alexandra Wagner, but I prefer to be called Lexy. I'm a 16 year old high school student from Western New York. I love current and just the internet in general because you can get connected to people with all different view points from around the world. I have a natural thirst to know about what's happening on my planet, and an even greater desire to save it. So who knows, maybe you and I will shake the earth together some day.
