I got all A’s, but I had never really thought of myself as an exceptional student. I remember receiving my transcript after the first semester of my freshman year, looking at my class rank, and immediately jumping to the conclusion that it was a typo. Ever since then, I’ve set out a goal for myself to graduate high school with my GPA ranked in the Top 10 of my class. I have achieved that goal and could not be prouder of myself for pushing through the barriers of ordinariness and

Martha Graham once said, "Dance is the hidden language of the soul." Like Graham, I am in awe of being able to communicate through this silent art form. What continually inspires me to develop my knowledge of Dance is the impact that it has on the world, for everything that I am unable to put into words, so many new ways of expression are suddenly possible for me when I dance. It is like understanding a foreign language; it is a language in itself.

I also currently work at a children’s center as a classroom counselor, helping students (from preschool and up to high school) transition back to public school. The biggest lesson I received from working in this environment is that to not let preconceived notions and biases affect the actions I express. This is because the way we react to situations implicitly creates the situations we expect to see, demonstrating the self-fulling prophesy concept.

Nature and her creatures feature constantly in my life story. First of all, living in the Prescott mountains provided me with ample opportunity to observe all the complexities of the natural world from tiny insects to wild coyotes. Over 10 years I learned a great deal about domesticated animals by raising numerous litters of puppies and kittens which increased my love for animals.
