I am a student. I strive for nothing but my best in all my subjects and do not accept nothing less. I am able to think in ways others seem to miss and my analytical mind is able to take apart problems and solve them in creative and efficient ways. I go beyond what the teacher says I need to know and find ways to learn the material in depth so that I actually learn what is in my text book, not memorize it to get the best grade on my next test.
I am also a devoted band geek. I have participated in everything available for me to be part of that involves playing an instrument. Drumline, Concert band, and Jazz band are only the beginning of what I do for my music department and I do not intend to stop. Whenever I play, I pour my heart and soul to best verbalize what I am trying to say through the music. I give my best in what I play and nothing less would satisfy me.
Above all, I am a friend. My day is not complete unless I made someone smile. My goal as a friend is to brighten people's day and remind them that there is no reason to be sad, or worried, only happy and hopeful. This policy has lead me to a wide range of friends. Some of them live in different states I do.
I am a student, musician, and a friend, and I do not intent to make that the last of what I am.
