FAVORITE SUBJECT
Music because it's very fun and i just love music.I like math as well because it comes easily to me too.

FAVORITE TEACHER
I don’t have one.

FAVORITE HS MEMORY
Going to prom my sophomore year.

ACTIVITIES + SPORTS
I played volleyball for two years. I continue to play club. I was involved in a salsa dance team for two years as well.

SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENTS
My special achievement is a musical award that I received. Every year we have an event called solo and ensemble that all/most music students participate in. There are different classes of difficulty for your solo/duet/group piece. My sophomore year our teacher began to talk about the event. Me, being the indecisive teenager I was, couldn’t decide whether I wanted to participate or not. The whole process for this solo and ensemble was very rushed by the way. Our teacher didn’t really plan it out the best. But I digress. Finally a few (3) weeks before the actual event, I told my teacher that I wanted to perform a solo. A class A one at that (class A is the hardest class there is). So I signed up for lessons and practiced my piece once a week convinced that I would be good enough to perform it well just by winging it. I will admit I was a bit full of myself. A few days before, I was informed that I would not have a pianist playing with me because I signed up "too late". So I was alone. As the day approached, reality set in. I began to panic because I didn't practice enough and the judge would hear every mistake, as I was performing alone. I crammed in as much practice as I possibly could the right before and the morning of. I went to my room to perform and I was so nervous, wouldn’t let anyone in the room except some random lady that felt bad that no one came to watch me. I told my judge how much time I had to prepare for this and I played my piece. After, I waited patiently for my score to be revealed. I looked about a half an hour later and I got a 1! A one with a star is the best you can get on a class A piece. A state means you go to state solo and ensemble. I didn’t get one but I got a one and that was enough for me. I thought for sure I would get lower than that.

PROUDEST MOMENT
Getting a higher score on my PSAT than the average for kids in the grade above me. And then scoring incredibly high on the English portion of my ACT, which was the class I was doing the worst in.

FOR WORK…
I work at Kwiktrip and I used to work at a restaurant on the lake as well.

ON A RANDOM SATURDAY I WOULD PROBABLY BE..
During the summer I would probably be working a 7-2 at Kwiktrip then coming home for 2 hours and then working a 4-9 at the restaurant. During the school year, probably homework or volleyball tournaments.
