I specifically chose Converse College because I
spoke to the Dean of the Arts (possibly another dean I can't really remember)
and he told me to follow my dreams. If performing was what I wanted to do I
should chase that dream. Because of him I decided to come here. After coming
for my audition, I met some really cool people who I really
thought genuinely cared about the school and wanted to share the
"AMAZING" with other people. I remember going to other colleges
(which I won't name) and when high school students came on a tour of campus the
college students would "hide" or leave or make rude comments behind
your back. But when I came to Converse everyone said they loved the school, I
only found one person who said they didn't like it, and she said that because
she didn't like the food. I love the general atmosphere around here and I hope
it stays this way.
I decided to study music in college at Converse
because I do love all kinds of music especially when I sing or play the piano.
When I can just be by myself and play anything that sound good to me and not
feel fear or stress is the best feeling in the world. I always knew I was going
to go to college for music, it runs in my family (my grandma conducted and sang
and was a private piano teacher, my dad played in bands (harmonica), my sister
plays violin and sings). I specifically chose converse because of the Dean (as
I stated above) and the outstanding quality of the music program here.
If I was a muppet I would be a musical
muppet, I would probably be big and clunky (like Animal) and I would probably
be a piano playing muppet. I would probably be crazy like Swedish Chef and no
one could understand me because I spend so much time talking to myself about
stuff no one else really cares about. :] Also I probably would not play the
banjo, if I was talented enough to I would, but strings confuse me because I
can't figure out where to put my fingers. :{
