Music

Music is part of everyone's life, even if just on the radio or in short clips on social media, but I feel a special connection with it. I grew up around my dad's renditions of A Hard Day's Night and Drive My Car, and I came to love the acoustic guitar. I use music to feel closer to my family, to reduce stress, and to mitigate some less-than-pleasant emotions that normally accompany adolescence. 

I participated in the Colorado Children's Chorale as well as some musical theater when I was in elementary and middle school, but I LOVE singing and playing guitar together. I decided that I didn't want to leave high school without some performance experience, so I auditioned for and joined one of my high school's contemporary music bands my senior year. I am incredibly happy with my decision and I look forward to pursuing music in college, be it in a band, club, or class.
