Growing up, I was passionate about my arts classes-whether it was theater, choir, or art, they were always the highlight of my school day. In 8th grade, I was cast as Isabelle in the College View Middle School production of Scrooge, and that was when I truly fell in love with drama. By high school, I was involved in every Drama and Choir production, sharing the experience with some of my closest friends. Those moments remain a vital part of who I am today.
