My tibute to being a VL

I have not done this

or this even got close like this

or done it cute like this

or done a simple one like this

or got into it like this

or made a mistake like this

or made spaghetti an excuse like this

and my dreams of letting my foot pop like this have not come true

but someday maybe this will happen

and I will have my moment like this

then I won’t be disgusted like this

but will enjoy it like this .

Here is to in my high school life.

The First and Last

As my high school years have come to a close there has been a lot of firsts and lasts. My life has been changing for the better. Yes there is a few regrets, but I am happy with where I am now. I am living my life to my fullest and enjoying the good moments as they come. I have a general plan for my life now. It includes working at This is the Place this summer, then going to Snow College studying mathematics education, and then going on a mission. I am excited to begin a new life but right now I want to remissness a little. Last...

As the days go by I expect this list of firsts to grow longer than my list of lasts. I am opening up a new page and welcoming the new things in life. Wish me luck as a go off to face the world, because I am livin' right and lovin' life and it is goin' be a sunny happy day.

Peter Pan

Peter Pan was a blast. I loved it so much and just had too much fun for my own good. Here are some pictures of me as an Indian and also some of the highlights of the performance. I think it is the best thing I could have done for my senior year! All the people were amazing and loved all the performances. I wish I could go back to Neverland!!!!!!

Here my senior pictures for you all to enjoy!!

My Snow Miracle

This Friday I went to Snow College for a snow blast to have a tour of campus and do some auditions. I had fun getting familiar with the campus, and then I went to West Side Story, which was very well done. Of course I did not get a good sleep on the floor of my ambassadors apartment.

The next morning at 9 o’clock I had my vocal scholarship audition. I was sick with no voice 5 minutes before I went in. Once I entered the room my voice was back and I was able to deliver a great performance. The room also helped. I have never song in a room that had better acoustics. It put me to ease and I just wanted to play with the sound. I sang Alma del core, and When I Look At You from Scarlet Pimpernel. Then he had me sing harmony to Amazing grace on the spot. I feel I did a really good job even though I did not get any style points because I used a lot of pedal or same note for a measure or two. Well as Mama J always said during music theory boring is beautiful.

Then at noon I had my dance audition to see if I could make it into their ensemble. It was a combined audition for the Bagerettes or their drill team. The audition included Ballet, Jazz across the floor, Modern, and hip-hop. Of course I did beautifully on the Ballet and I did as bad on hip-hop as I did good on ballet. Lets just say my body freezes when I start doing hip-hop. At least that was a part of the audition geared towards the Bagerettes, the ensemble does not do hip-hop. All the others went well and so did my 1-minute solo. Afterwards I was dead sick. If I had been asked to do one more thing, I think I would have fallen over and died. I could not even eat I was so tired and I slept the whole way home. It was a miracle all my auditions went as well as they did. My sickness did not effect my auditions, now what happens, happens. I have no reservations about how I preformed.

Money is a Happy Thing

One really exciting thing is I received a full ride scholarship to Snow College this Friday. It is for about $4,300 so now I don’t have to pay a cent for tuition. Now I just have to worry about finding housing. Also I am still waiting for the Regent Scholarship and if I get it I can go to college for free. This summer I am probably going to work at This is the Place to get money for food and housing. I am so happy that college is now looking brighter and more possible every moment. I knew that making school my job would pay off and now it has.
