Music plays a huge part of my life. I take both piano and flute lessons along with theory classes and perfomance classes once a month. I have been studying piano for 8 years and flute for 3. I participate in about one recital/competition/festival each month along with an evaluation every year. I just finished Level Advanced (10) this year on piano, and am going into Level 8 for flute. I enjoy playing music since it gives me a time to relax and get into something I really like. Every Sunday I play flute along with my brother who plays viola for church. Once a month, I also play piano for church.

In my freshmen year, I participated in Tennis in the fall and Track in the winter. Tennis was fun and I learned to develop proper ground strokes and serves. Track was challenging with practices often starting at two and ending at five. In Track I was pushed to limits I could never have thought possible for me. Every week, we would run intervals, and do many drills, and "banks." I ran hurdles, both 110s and 330s. Though I wasn't great at either sport, they were still fun and a good learning experience. What made the sport really worthwhile were the teammates and how we kept pushing and supporting each other.
