After completing my first semester at Ohio State, I can already tell I am part of something very special. Granted, when I was accepted and when I made my decision to attend, I started to get the feeling that this would be the case. Growing up, I didn’t really think that this would be my case or story, but looking back on it, I am so happy it is. I was born in 1998 in Toledo, Ohio. Toledo as always been the place I call home, and I have spent most of my time in Ohio as well. I know the importance of being from this state. And frankly, I love it. I also love living in Toledo. Mainly because of my old high school, Toledo School for the Arts. When I tell people that some of my greatest memories come from my school, people just laugh and assume

It was who we meet while playing. Our group was so closely knit, we tended to do everything together. It transcended beyond just performing, and it turned us into a family. None of us realized how true that was until August of 2014. On August 8th, one of our closest friends and band members died in a car accident. For all of us, it was the toughest thing we had ever went through. We needed each other. We cried for each other. We were there for each other. I have never learned more about being a family until that tragic event. While his memory still lives on with us, we miss him every time we play our drums. Through my art, I have accomplished many feats. I have taken my rehearsed pieces to OMEA contest twice, once as an ensemble and the second time was a solo number. Both times, I received the highest grade that could be given in the class. At my school, I have also gained some community service experience through an ambassador program. Not only do we help in our own community, but we also usher and volunteer at our own school’s performances and events. For two years, I was also part of our Quiz Bowl team, where I competed a few times at the junior varsity …show more content…
I started with an early arrival program called R-Lead. During the early week, I was part of many leadership exercises, seminars, and was an OWL during move-in day. I am also currently on the Baker West Arts Council, which is the residence hall council of Baker Hall West. On that council, I am also part of the learning community, where I have already assisted with planning events for the residents of my hall. Finally, I am also part of the Visual and Performing Arts Learning Community that is also in Baker Hall. I am also aspiring to be an RA this upcoming academic year. As for my education at OSU, I am studying Arts Management. With my prior experience in the arts community and seeing how they impact the world, Arts Management seems like a perfect way to continue what I love in an administrative perspective. Having a scholarship to help achieve this goal would mean the world to me. I want to make a cultural impact in the community I live in. Ohio State is one of the only schools in the state with this focus of study. I want to take advantage of that opportunity to help a community greater than
