As you can see, I consider myself an adventurous person. I went on my first vacation at three months old and have loved traveling ever since. I have been on four continents, in 23 countries and my most recent accomplishment has been completing my 50-state United States tour. In 2010, I set out on a goal of visiting all 50 states before I graduated high school. At the time I had been to about 30 states and I was already seeing how diverse this country is. From mountains to the oceans, it is all beautiful. Many people ask me what my favorite place is and that is a very hard question to answer. The world is big and beautiful with many amazing cultures and histories.
No matter where in the world I am, music is a big part of my life. I listen to many genres of music. As you may have noticed, I referenced "Breathe" by Pink Floyd in my title. Besides listening to music, I play multiple instruments: violin, guitar, baritone ukulele, soprano ukulele, and I am learning to play banjo. I also enjoy singing and am especially fond of performing acapella covers. Music is a way that I connect with my friends and relax.
I am a very ambitious person and this reflects in my academics. I started off in Montessori preschool and kindergarten. Then I proceeded to public school until I arrived at Cheshire Academy as a freshman. I recently started the requirements to obtain a full international baccalaureate diploma. I know it is going to be a lot of work but I enjoy the challenge.
In addition, I enjoy pushing myself to be the best I can be in athletics. I learned to ski at the age of four and I still spend the winter on the slopes. I am a part of the varsity volleyball and varsity tennis teams at the academy. My volleyball team was the first to win a championship title at Cheshire. I look forward to this season to see what the team is capable of.
All of these activities are important, but the most important part of my life is the people I share it with. I have a great group of friends that I know are always there for me. I love to spend my free time with them. We do photo shoots, go caroling, and eat! My family is also very supportive.
My dad is a mechanical engineer and my mom is a speech language pathologist. My parents inspire me to work hard and to be adventurous- including letting me go bungy jumping for my birthday.

B. b Overall, I always look forward to new challenges. I push myself to be the best I can be. I don't know what I want to achieve in college yet, but I do hope to keep doing the activities I love. My next traveling goal is to set foot on all seven continents! Whatever I do in the future I will always try my best.
