I\u2019m a junior at MVHS and enrolled in Animation at Freestyle. I enjoy <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">drawing<\/mark> and <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1dbe8b\" class=\"has-inline-color\">music<\/mark>. This year I played vibraphone in the <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\"><strong>MVHS Marching Band<\/strong><\/mark>, and currently play marimba with MVHS&#8217;s <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\"><strong>Winter Percussion<\/strong><\/mark> group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">core values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m not one to typically think about and name my core values, but some things I view as important are <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#52a6c0\" class=\"has-inline-color\">creativity<\/mark>, learning from your <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">mistakes<\/mark>, and work-life <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ed6402\" class=\"has-inline-color\">balance<\/mark>. Creativity drives my interest in art, and I find enjoyment and value in finding ways to <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#52a6c0\" class=\"has-inline-color\">express ideas and stories<\/mark> in images. Being able to look at your mistakes and <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">learn from them<\/mark> is something I see as vital to <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">self improvement<\/mark>, and I try my best to be able to use my mistakes as learning opportunities without letting them damage my self esteem much. Having a good work-life balance (more accurately stated as a school-life balance in my case) is something I strive to have, as being too <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ed6402\" class=\"has-inline-color\">overwhelmed with school work<\/mark> often leaves me with little time to <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ed6402\" class=\"has-inline-color\">enjoy life<\/mark> and the not school related activities that make me happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">passions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am passionate about making <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">art<\/mark> and <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1dbe8b\" class=\"has-inline-color\">music<\/mark>. Majority of my free time that isn&#8217;t used on music is spent drawing characters I&#8217;ve made and trying to figure out their stories. I\u2019ve made <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">groups of characters<\/mark> in collaboration with my friends on multiple occasions, and have a lot of fun drawing and discussing those characters <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">with my friends<\/mark>. I tend to focus on drawing characters a lot more than backgrounds or landscapes, mostly drawing humanoid or animal ones. I like listening to <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1dbe8b\" class=\"has-inline-color\">music<\/mark> as I draw. Some examples of bands I often listen to are <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1dbe8b\" class=\"has-inline-color\">The Crane Wives<\/mark>, <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1dbe8b\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Jhariah<\/mark>, <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1dbe8b\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Rabbitology<\/mark>, <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1dbe8b\" class=\"has-inline-color\">FLAVOR FOLEY<\/mark>, and <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1dbe8b\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Mili<\/mark>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve played various <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">instruments<\/mark> throughout my life, with the main ones being <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">violin<\/mark> for three years and <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">viola<\/mark> for a year, <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">mallet percussion<\/mark> since my sophomore year of high school, and <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">ukulele<\/mark> since I taught myself to play it back during the COVID 19 lockdown. I used to take <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">singing<\/mark> lessons, but as of now I just sing for fun, typically alongside learning the ukulele chords to songs. I\u2019ve also been attempting to teach myself <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">piano<\/mark> to learn to play songs from the soundtracks of media I like, such as the various piano pieces in Whitepine by ivorycello. <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">I love learning to play musical instruments<\/mark>, and will likely try to learn songs I like on any instrument available to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also like playing <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#f30e73\" class=\"has-inline-color\">video games<\/mark>. I enjoy playing <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#f30e73\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Minecraft<\/mark> and <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#f30e73\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Towerfall<\/mark> with my friends and family, as well as story based games like <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#f30e73\" class=\"has-inline-color\">In Stars and Time<\/mark>, <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#f30e73\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Cult of the Lamb<\/mark>, <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#f30e73\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Omori<\/mark>, <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#f30e73\" class=\"has-inline-color\">The Stanley Parable<\/mark>, the <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#f30e73\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Legend of Zelda<\/mark> series, and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">why Freestyle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I chose to become a Freestyle student because I enjoy making <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">art<\/mark> and being <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#52a6c0\" class=\"has-inline-color\">creative<\/mark>, and am looking to <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">improve my skills<\/mark>.
