Background: My name is Patrice, but I often go by Treece. I like to believe it's cooler. I grew up in San Jose, California, and moved to Stockton, California when I was 11, so, quite frankly, I've been born and raised here. I'm half black and Filipino, and I grew up with old school Filipino traditions and food. I currently have my lip pierced twice and my ears gauged at a 2 and no tattoos. I'm a college student going for my AA and currently looking for a job. I major in Biology and I'm planning to be a veterinarian. When it comes to being artistic, I tend to pick it up quickly, most of my artwork can be found here: [url]http://chinmyou.deviantart.com[/url] I've been asked on multiple occasions "who's white in my family," "where I'm from," and been told there was no way I've lived in Stockton for almost a decade, due to the fact that I have this need to use uncommon vocabulary and perfect grammar. Well, maybe not perfect, but I tend to stray away from slang words. Well... basically the reason I'm here is because I know I have a developing knack for art, but I don't really know what my "talent" is quite yet.

Interests: Art, Science, Animals, Music, and other reoccurring teenage listings.

Goals: Graduate college, End my status as a "starving artist"
