Favorite aspect of Culver: My favorite part of Culver is the 24/7 help that is available if I'm ever confused about something. In addition, I love the opportunity to have close relationships with my friends and teachers.

Last Summer's Adventures: This past summer I spent most of my time with my family at my aunt's wedding, Wild Wave in Seattle, river rafting, hiking at Multnomah Falls, and traveling to San Diego, Los Angeles, and Hollywood.

Top 3 goals for this school year: To improve my grammar and writing skills, do well on my standardized tests, and figure out what I would like to do after Culver.

"My appreciation for education and dance grew at Culver, because I know I wouldn't be able to have these experiences elsewhere. The incredible experiences that I have at Culver are with people who push me into thinking more deeply in classes, and move more emotionally in my dancing. I know if I didn't come to Culver I wouldn't get to have one-on-ones with my teachers anytime I needed help on a problem, and I would struggle in balancing my school, dance, and work schedule while still hanging out with my friends."
