Why do you want to be a Mohai youth advisor? As long as I can Remember I have always wanted to lead. In elementary school, I was repeatedly called out and disciplined for bringing my ideas into the class plan without any call for. Early on I also discovered my passion for history and the language arts. In 4th grade, I marked all over my sisters AP world history books. My parents, of course, got angry for my actions, but wonderfully they recognized my interest and helped me pursue it. My room…

I saw it in the music shop window and I knew that it would be mine and only mine. I bought it and took it home. Billings would love it. My god. It was so beautiful, so sleek, so smooth. Its body was a glimmering gold and I could feel the keys push down gracefully with a satisfying plop! It was the most majestic thing I had ever seen and… Oh crap. I dropped it. Down it came with a crash. I realized that I wasn’t wearing a neck-strap. As I picked my 2,000 dollar alto saxophone, I saw that it had a…

and when Jayla coached they wore red and when they performed they wore those colors but they were in different styles. We never came in 3rd place, we would only come in 1st or 2nd place. My second job was a band instructor and player. I played the clarinet, trumpet, French horn, tenor and alto…

Still solid and secure, my fingers sunk to the bed of the keys, imitating the hollow sounds of the clarinets. Trills. Ornaments. Played only briefly but gracefully. Every clarinettists played them with so much energy, so much passion. And me? Simply translating every dots on the pages as a bullet to my enemy, crushing and thumping them with hatred; playing…

R&B, lovey-dovey music, while I am over here listening to Warren G and Snoop Dogg. I listen to all sorts of music, but rap is what I have been listening to my whole life. My brother and I are totally different musically. As an example, he plays the clarinet while I play the trumpet. We finally decided that I would get to choose the music halfway there and he would get to choose the other…

1. I enrolled in advanced placement and honor classes all four years of high school. And even though I only needed two important classes my senior year I decided to take challenging classes such as advanced placement biology and physics. I graduated with a 4.04 GPA and ranked 10 out of 337 students. I earned awards such as the Biliteracy Award for demonstrating excellence in English and in a language other than English (Spanish) and High Honors for maintaining a GPA of 3.5 and above all…

I was about to go to an after school club, when suddenly I remembered that my music teacher said I could come to earn my "Rainbow Belt" for the recorder. No one else in my grade had it yet. No one was even close, except for my best friend. He didn 't know what I was about to do. I ran down the hallway with my recorder. Looking back, I 'm not sure whether it was the need to be the first, or that I loved playing my recorder. It was probably both. Later, I walked into the club, proudly displaying…

It’s just starts by a simple “game or ritual,” then ends up of having horrific consequences causing deaths, physical, emotional, and/ or mental instability. Hazing should be banned throughout the world because it’s the main cause of bullying, it’s the number one problem in colleges or universities, and it’s has resulted in outrageous deaths. There has been an increase of hazing throughout the years and even though there has been more help it just doesn’t seem to stop. Now in days hazing can be…

I am a girl. I am a girl that came to another country for school. I am a girl that is constantly thinking and wanting to explore the Earth. I am a girl that is not willing to give up on her dreams. I am creative and smart. I have good and bad qualities. I am human. I chose two types of media to show these “I am characteristics” and that I believe represent me in a positive way. I chose a photograph of a woman sculpture carved onto a rock on a coast. For choosing my image, I started off by…

in fact taught me to focus and persevere and it has made me the grade-oriented student that I am now. School is very important to me, along with rank and GPA, but I have other interests as well. I’ve played piano for quite a few years as well as clarinet in band for 4 years. Music has always been a big part of my life and it has taught me the of being a team player. By practicing and playing my portion of the music, trusting others to finish their portion, communicating, and adapting to others’…
