It's hard to imagine going to any other school. I made some amazing friendships and memories that forced me to go out of my comfort zone. The teachers and friends I met made me fall more in love with art each day and I will forever be grateful for them. When I started Dreyfoos, I stayed close to the ones that inspired me and just simply made me beyond happy and a better person. I couldn't be more grateful with the friendships I came out with. It is going to be really tough seeing all of us floating off into different directions but there's not doubt in my mind that were all going to do extraordinary things and live life to the fullest. I not only grew as a person but as an artist. Thank you so much to everyone that made all the scary parts of high school less scary. "Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel." That one's for Ms. Beerman. ;)

Memories are precious so I would say make as much as you can. I was the shyest little bean and it took me a while to get out of my shell. So I would say try and overcome that and create some memories! Take advantage of the good opportunities that come your way. Dreyfoos is full of the most unique people and there will be so many available opportunities. For me, it took me a while to realize that and didn't really start engaging in activities until a little later on. There will be so many if you are passionate about your art or whatever you do!
