A.T.P.
A.T.P. (Alana The Protector) comes from the need for me to fill my own voids with protecting others. I have seven siblings and feel like I have always had to protect the littles. I have always been a sort of mom in the group and always tried to protect everyone around me. ATP is also adenosine triphosphate which is defined as an energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things. I feel like I would give my energy in order for anyone to be happy.
