This picture is from the musical at my high school my Junior Year. I have performed since I was 3, starting with ballet and moving to musicals starting in 5th grade. I have met some of my closest friends through musicals, mostly because there is such a large time commitment. For musicals in High School, we were required to be there for 3 to 4 hours 4 times per week; so the cast became more of a family. Theater has shaped me as a person to become more outgoing, more well rounded, and helped me make friends with people I wouldn’t normally talk to.
This picture was taken after my intramural soccer team’s first game. We created a team for fun, but the whole team has been getting really into it which has made it really fun and we are planning on being a team all four years of college. I have played soccer since I was three, so it has made a huge impact on my life. I can’t imagine my life without soccer, so I’m really glad we created an intramural team which has helped me get back into the game after I couldn’t play during the spring of my senior year. This team is comprised mostly of people from our floor (which is HES students), so it has also helped me to become closer with the scholars group.
