On my birthday last year, 2015, I got tickets to a college gymnastics meet. Not just any team, my favorite team.. MIZZOU! I was so excited that I got to watch the meet front row, meet the gymnasts at the end, and get autographs and go to the tiger store. I couldn’t wait for the next four days! Watching the meet from the very front row was so fun! When the girls ran out of the corner of the room, my eyes just lit up. They were running by high fiving the fans and the crowd was going crazy and…

Summer ended and school was about to start up again. I had to sign up for new classes this year. Trying to wisely dovetail “just right” classes into my schedule was complex. It was important for me to choose classes that met my graduating requirements, fit into my weekly schedule and complemented my homeschool studies. After scrutinizing the class selection, I selected drama for the last two class periods on Wednesday. Previously, I had been in drama for 2 years at North Star. Pleasant memories…

The smoky room is full of loud, chattering people, some sober, some not. There are several stocky men with big, bushy sideburns and unkempt mustaches outfitted in short lederhosen, along with several heavy-set women wearing blue knee-length dirndls carrying up to sixteen mugs of beer while walking down the aisles. The tables are decked with blue and white checkered tablecloths and are overly crowded. People are singing drinking songs, albeit in a rather out of tune fashion. This image of the…

Three hundred pairs of eyes sat before me: friends, family, and strangers. They came to India from all over the world. As I sat tuning and applying rosin while waiting for the master of ceremonies to finish speaking, I surveyed the hall and found my grandparents greeting guests with infectious excitement. I thought how grateful I was to receive an opportunity to play Carnatic violin in a concert hall in India. Carnatic music is a devotional art form that originates from South India. I grew…

I choose to analyze the dynamic text of the video “Back Home” by Andy Grammer. When I first started this project I wanted to steer away from the typical songs my classmates were choosing. This process was hard! All my favorite songs or artist lacked dynamic text in their videos; therefore I had dig deeper and think of songs that meant something to me. After days of thinking I listened to Andy Grammer hit song “Keep your Head Up”, and immediately knew that I had to analyze one of his songs. It…

Dancing has always been a passion of mine ever since I was little. Whether I was waking up early in the morning to catch a Backstreet Boys’ music video and copy their choreography to showing my family the moves I had learned from those music videos, dancing had always been something that I loved. Dance eventually carried over into my teenage hood and I found myself doing the same thing again. I watched Korean Pop music videos and saw the different dances, only now I wasn’t just copying them but…
