I took classes in Design, Digital Media and English. Being a part of the unique art program, I have successfully enforced creativity into my education, and will continue to do so at Parsons School of Design in New York City. At Freestyle, I gained an understanding of my future aspirations. Through art and thanks to Freestyle, in high school, I was able to have an outlet where my thoughts and ideas are transformed into a visual or physical sort. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EllieS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/C7686B46-43D7-4902-86A9-8C932A70F959-807x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-247\" width=\"666\" height=\"845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EllieS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/C7686B46-43D7-4902-86A9-8C932A70F959-807x1024.jpg 807w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EllieS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/C7686B46-43D7-4902-86A9-8C932A70F959-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EllieS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/C7686B46-43D7-4902-86A9-8C932A70F959-768x974.jpg 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EllieS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/C7686B46-43D7-4902-86A9-8C932A70F959-1211x1536.jpg 1211w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EllieS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/C7686B46-43D7-4902-86A9-8C932A70F959-1614x2048.jpg 1614w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EllieS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/C7686B46-43D7-4902-86A9-8C932A70F959-scaled.jpg 2018w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Plans for next year:\u00a0<strong>4-year University, Gap Year at Parsons School of Design<\/strong><br>Major or Job:\u00a0<strong>I will be deferring Parsons School of Design for one year to be apart of a Mechina Gap Year Program in Israel. There I will travel Israel, engage in community service + volunteering, and study Israeli politics. When I return, I will be in New York City studying Integrated Design!<\/strong><br>Scholarships:\u00a0<strong>$16,000 merit scholarship<\/strong><br>Reflection about Freestyle:\u00a0<strong>Freestyle completely changed my high school experience for the better, I had motivation to show up every day. Freestyle boosted my work ethic and helped me find tools to help me as I am a visual learner.<\/strong><br>Advice to 1st Year Seniors:\u00a0<strong>Don&#8217;t slack on those assignments! They will pile up, and second semester flies by in the blink of an eye. Also, don&#8217;t forget how LUCKY you are to be at this institution and have the opportunities you do. I have never met another student outside of Freestyle who has a program that even compares or comes close to what we share.<\/strong><br>Freestyle in 5 years:\u00a0<strong>I would like to see Freestyle expand in classes. I think it would be amazing if we had the option to study History within Freestyle and learn all about art History and renaissance etc, though I understand the implications I believe it could be an amazing way to gain credits and learn for artistic students.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"991\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EllieS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2222-991x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EllieS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2222-991x1024.jpg 991w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EllieS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2222-290x300.jpg 290w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EllieS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2222-768x794.jpg 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EllieS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2222-1486x1536.jpg 1486w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~EllieS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_2222-1981x2048.jpg 1981w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 991px) 100vw, 991px\" \/><figcaption>Freestyle Prom &lt;3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ellie Schwarz In 2019-2021, I was a Junior and Senior at Freestyle Academy.
