American people are touched in many ways by the department.

My name is Gina Ruscio. I'm a junior here at RMHS. I love being around my friends because it's always fun and it makes me happy. My favorite movie is either Paranormal Activity or Haunted House, which is kind of like a funny parody of it. I love watching tv shows from my childhood because it reminds me of a time where we had no stress and they are really great. I have a twin brother also, his name is Mark. When I am older, I would like to go to college for psychology because it really interests me and I love figuring out how the mind works and why people do the things that they do.
