Mu Alpha Theta
National Honor Society (NHS)
I have a great sense of pride in my school and I want to be as involved as possible. I believe that by joining clubs, one can find out a lot about themself and others. I love belonging to a body of people and being able to form a relationship with them through a common interest. I have been fortunate enough to be honored and inducted into a lot of programs which I am very appreciative of. While I did not have the opportunity to do sports during high school, I believe that I developed a similar sense of team and belonging through academic involvements and music.

I have been in choir since the beginning of my high school experience and am now the tresurer of the R.L. Turner choral department. Choir has taught me more than just music and singing, it has also taught me the importance of team work, discipline, time management, and most importantly to me, self-discovery. Through competitions, concerts, and even socials, I have developed my own personality and sense of being.
