Let's see. As of right now, I am a senior in high school, and since I go to an Early College high school, I'm also enrolled as a sophomore at Weber State University. I plan to graduate high school with my Associate of Science. I was a Junior Class Officer at my high school. I'm big into sports, music, and my friends and family. I play basketball and softball (mostly for recreation). I sing and dance, practically 24/7. My most important goal in life is to put my ten-year-old sister, Annika, through college.

Ooh, and I write, a lot. Poetry, short stories, songs. It's a passion of min

Extracurricular

Recreational Piano Playing

I've played the piano since I was about eight. I love it, and though I'm no Mozart, I still keep going.

Alto Saxophone - Intermediate Band

I started playing the sax when I was in 8th grade. My freshman year, I was in the Intermediate band at my junior high school. I was 2nd chair for the majority of the year (1st chair for the minority). Since we don't have a music program at my high school,

Madrigal Chorus - 1st and 2nd Alto

I've been singing all my life, ever since I knew how to speak. My freshman year in high school, I auditioned and made the cut for the Madrigal Chorus. I sang 1st and 2nd Alto (and 1st Tenor for the Ave Maria once). I will never give up my passion for sing

French Horn

Yes, I have played the French Horn. Not well, but I played it for a year. Since I don't own one, I can't really keep it up, but I wish I could.

Anne of Green Gables: The Musical

Freshman year in high school, I auditioned for the part of Diana, Anne's best friend, in Anne of Green Gables: The Musical. I got the part, and had a lot of fun with it. If I was given the chance, I'd do it again, without a second thought.

Much Ado About Nothing

For my Drama class, we performed Much Ado About Nothing. Since we only had about 14 cast members, I played three parts: Narrator, Watchman, and Friar Francis (which is, indeed, a man's part). It was tons of fun, even for Shakespeare. :]

Recreational Basketball

I fell in love with sports at a really young age, and basketball is an amazing sport. As of right now, I only play recreationally. But, our high school might be getting a team together, and I'll be trying out if that happens. Wish me luck!

Recreational Softball

Well, I love baseball. But since baseball is a "man's sport," I'm willing to stick with playing softball, for now. I only play recreational softball, but that doesn't take the fun out of it in the slightest.

Literary Magazine

This year, I submitted two of my poems to our school's Literary Magazine. I had a lot of fun writing them, and I hope that I bring as much happiness to the people reading it.

Jr. Jazz coach

My sister was playing Jr. Jazz basketball this season, and I was her team's assistant coach.

NUAMES High School Student Gov't

I was elected as Junior Class Secretary for my Junior year.

Girls State Rep.

Specialties & Skills
