Extracurricular Activities
Wind Ensemble :
- Participated in school band for 4 years
- Played Percussion for all 4 years
- Awarded Superior on our pieces every year
Being apart of a Ensemble as great as the one I was in, had shown me that it takes one wrong note, one wrong rhythm, one wrong person to throw off the whole cohesion of the piece. I was taught to practice everyday and understand who plays what and how I as a percussionist compliment their sound. Band has taught me to play my role and do the little things right.
Football :
- Played football all 4 years
- Running Back all 4 years
- Varsity for 3 years
In this sport, I was dealt with many setbacks, i.e., breaking my arm, two concussions, numerous sprained ankles and contused muscles. Football taught me Leadership, Grit, Perseverance, and the mentality of how to overcome my adversities. It showed me how to work as a team and how to work with my friends to achieve the overall goal.
