Color Guard

Although color guard isn’t the most widely-known sport, it definitely has impacted my life and has taught me many life lessons. My description of a color guard would be those who convey the theme of a marching band show visually through the various expressions, movements, and use of props. I have learned what it takes for a team of people to work towards a common goal, how motivation plays into a performance, and how ones performance is not the end all be all, but the complete opposite: a learning experience to carry onto a new goal/skill to reach. Not only have I been able to make unforgettable memories and friends through the sport, but have been able to find confidence in who I am and who I want to be as a person contributing to society everyday.

Friends

Socializing is my all time favorite thing to do when I have free time. I love meeting new people, watching TV shows, and other things that bring me into a conversation that society is having. The variety of topics and views interest me and learning about why people act or react a certain way towards things makes me even more curious as to what led them to think in such a way. Conversations constantly change and being able to be a part of many is one way that I can be culturally aware of people and invested in cultivating an environment that enjoys the idea of getting to know each other!

Yin and Yang – Motto “All is well”

I tend to think about the positives of situations which makes me smile a bunch! Growing up in a school with so many different interests, nationalities, and beliefs, I have learned that no matter what, believe in the good in the world and help when you can to those who would like it. With all the dilemmas in the world, the next best thing you can do is help out when you can and learn a thing or two about how you could possibly impact the world, one person or action at a time. My motto of “all is well” has all of what I believe is necessary for pushing on and being persistence in my efforts of setting my heart to do anything that I desire. As long as I believe in myself and bring others up with me when I can, I know I will live what I would consider to be my best life.
