However, at the behest of her parents, we repeated the test, but in verbal format. When being examined through this method, Miss Cypress was able to answer the majority of the questions correctly, elaborating on those that required her to do so and obtaining slightly above average scores. It is clear that she is unable to sit still for long periods of time, so accommodations would need to be made in order for her to academically succeed in our institution."[/i] [color=6A5ACD][b]|| Practical test ||[/b][/color] [color=FF6347][i]“I went in with the plan to do what I do best: let everyone else do all the work while I mooch off them. But something just kicked in when I was on the field, this protective instinct I only got when Lucia was in trouble, and before I knew it I was springing to action. Everyone was impressed with how well I worked with others and how helpful I ended up being-- myself included. They said cooperation, protective instincts, sense of urgency and courageousness were my best qualities on the field."[/i][/color] [color=6A5ACD][b]|| Written essay topic ||[/b][/color] [color=FF6347][i]"I wrote about how I wanted to prove my family wrong by carrying on the Cypress legacy, but in my own way and on my own terms.

Her extroverted demeanor, devil-may-care attitude, frequent partying, and fearless way in which she will stand up against anyone or anything for her loved ones and her beliefs can be intimidating to some. Yet those who get to know her on a personal level will swear to Noah being an incredibly supporting person, loyal to a fault, fiercely protective, and just someone you can trust with your life who you know will have your back. Do you need someone to listen to you? She’ll be there. Do you need unfiltered, honest advice? She’ll give it to you with your best interests at heart. Do you need someone to convince you to buy that expensive item you’ve been eyeing for months or go out tonight? She’s got you. Do you need a wingwoman for a night out, a cheerleader and/or someone to fight with you because someone did you wrong?

I'm minding my business, being quiet and playing nice (it's only the first day, after all) and there he was, straight out of a wet dream: Damon fucking Day.

When you look at Noah Cypress, you think of what would happen to that legacy if it were to fall on the shoulders of someone like her. Noah Jean was born on the 31st of January of 2001. From the day of her early arrival, the first child of Colin and Melania Cypress had been going against any expectations set to her by others. Her parents, who had expected a boy, were surprised to find out at birth that they were now parents to a girl. When Colin and Melania had expected a soft-spoken, gentle, cuddly lady for a daughter, they got a loud, adventurous, thrill-seeking wild child that pushed the boundaries and tested their limits with her antics and evolving soil manipulation powers. Fortunately for them, their dreams of a little lady became a reality when Luciana was born. While Noah had resented the attention her younger sister got at first, her feelings were quick to change upon realizing she had gained a confidante, cheerleader, companion and someone to distract her parents while she got away with murder. And for a while, the Cypress family lived in happiness and harmony. Noah’s life shifted the same day Lucia’s did. After the incident with their mother when Lu was 10 years old, while Colin focused on meeting the needs of their younger daughter, Melania became all but fixated on her eldest daughter. There was obvious friction between the two strong-willed women, and arguments between mother and daughter soon became a norm in the household. While Melania disapproved of most of Noah’s behaviors and choices, Noah resented being placed under the microscope of scrutiny and the unreasonable expectations being asked of her, and Colin was forced to be the referee and mediator between the two. Leaving home to attend Crystal Peak Academy, although a difficult decision because she hated leaving Lucia alone, was a choice the older Cypress girl had to make for the sake of her mental sanity. The distance away from Melania’s overbearing, watchful eye has done wonders for Noah. She’s made friends, she’s had lovers, she’s earned average marks on her studies and surprised herself with what she’s capable of. She has blossomed into the woman she’s always wanted to be, while learning, growing and becoming better each day. And now that Lucia would be joining her in this adventure, things could only go up from here.[/indent] [color=FF6347][sub][h3][b]⋙:A N Y T H I N G E L S E [/b][/h3][/sub]____________________________________________________________________[/color] [indent]FC: Sophie Turner | Color: [color=FF6347]FF6347[/color] | Gradient Color: [color=6A5ACD]6A5ACD[/color] ☄️ Is an 80's rock music and movie girlie at heart. ☄️ Drives an orange custom [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/54/0a/91/540a9198d5d906f64da1192e09bd516e.jpg]Harley Davidson Fat Boy[/url]. ☄️ Her favorite movies are IT, both the 1991 and the 2017 and 2019. ☄️ Offers free admission concerts in her shower that can range from twenty minutes to an hour. ☄️ Stranger Things is her favorite show of all time (#I🧡EddieMunson), with DARK being a close second. ☄️ Indulges in Mary Jane consumption a few times a week 'to take the edge off', and the occasional cigarette. ☄️ Can be found at The Elysium during some of her free time in the weekdays, but she will never miss karaoke night at The Foggy Glass. ☄️ [url=https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1ZtsPLj3XKd9HFQPguaG5v?si=25831d2f1dda4d96]The Noah Playlist[/url] ☄️ Font: https://fontmeme.com/fonts/milky-rainbow-font/[/indent] [/indent] [center][img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/2de61f37591f953ec007d19c835a21a3/tumblr_inline_oeaye9MZKp1sm680z_250.gifv[/img] [sub][url=https://youtu.be/nO6YL09T8Fw]Bad Reputation- Joan Jett & The Blackhearts[/url] [url=https://youtu.be/0UIB9Y4OFPs]Pour Some Sugar On Me- Def Leppard[/url] ☄️ [url=https://youtu.be/PqUenEMwsdQ]Another One Bites The Dust- Queen[/url] ☄️ [url=https://youtu.be/Myhm0rPkjCo]The Motto- Tiesto ft.
