For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to perform.  I love acting, singing, and dancing.  But these are just some of the things you can do on a stage.  You can make friends on a stage.  I have me so many of my closest friends while rehearsing for a show.  You can find yourself and create unforgetable memories.  I took this photo when I went to see Just In time, a Broadway show staring Jonathan Groff.  When I look at this empty space and take in the view, I can see future me about to step onto the stage.  This is where I belong.  

I grew up in Piermont beside Tallman Mountain overlooking the Hudson River.  I feel that I belong here.  This view makes me feel connected to my childhood and excited about my future.  I've gone for many walks in Tallman Mountain State Park with my family and friends that are filled with fun and excitement going along different trails. We used to make forts in the woods when I was younger and we would pretend to survive off the land.  My photograph captures the magnificent view from on top of the mountain.  The colors remind me of the changing seasons.
