My accomplishments are a big part of who I am. One of my accomplishments is getting accepted to BalletMet's Summer Intensive for 2013. BalletMet was the first out-of-state summer intensive that I auditioned for and I was ecstatic when I received the letter saying I had been accepted and offered a scholarship. My time at BalletMet was amazing; I was able to work with wonderful faculty members and learn from all the wonderful dancers surrounding me. While I was there I made a very good friend, and we still talk to each other at least once a week. My next big accomplishment is that when I auditioned again for BalletMet's Summer Intensive 2014 they accepted, offered me a scholarship, and I was offered a trainee position for the 2014-2015 school year. Unfortunately, my family does not have the funds that are necessary for me to be able to accept, but being offered placement was one of the happiest moments of my life thus far. Instead of attending BalletMet this past summer, however, I attended the Governor's School for the Arts. I was so honored to be granted the wonderful opportunity of attending this program. When I first arrived I was expecting to grow as a dancer for 3 weeks; I did indeed grow as a dancer, but I grew as a person and as an artist overall. Before GSA I never thought I would collaborate with a visual artist and create a beautiful piece of art by dancing on a piece of paper with paint on my feet (and face). I learned more about myself in those 3 weeks than I have in 16 years. BalletMet, and GSA changed me for the good and I am so glad I can include these wonderful programs in my list of accomplishments.
