Top Debuts: 1939-1943

UPDATE: For the year 1939 I had the name BRENNA when it should have been BRENDA. I am sorry for the problem. 

 
Hey guys! So today I went to visit a college. It is the fifth college I have gone to visit and I have one more to visit. So I am finally getting back to the Top Debuts series!

So that is the newest installment in the Top Debut Series. I am hoping to get back into the series and finish it up soon. I am really busy with college, school, and the holidays coming up so if I post late or I don’t post for that day I am really sorry. Also my laptop has been shutting off for no reason at all and it won’t turn back on for a good 30 minutes so I am trying to work around that. If you commented on one of my post I am working on answering you back. It is just taking me a little while. So I hope you liked this and don’t forget to comment. Bye for now :).
