My name is Hannah, I am a student and an artist. I love cats and the color pink. I like to do digital art as well as trying out new crafts. I play trumpet in marching band and my favorite class is probably math.

In life, I always try my hardest to be helpful. For me, being helpful is the easiest way to feel good about myself. Knowing that people are grateful for me makes me feel a lot more confident about myself. I would also consider myself as somebody curious. I find it satisfying to know not just what, by why, and how. I’m always asking questions, and trying to learn more. Finally, I consider myself to be creative. I think in terms of problem solving, creativity is my greatest strength. I often find myself trying to think of new and creative ways to solve problems.

Outside of school, I have a lot of hobbies. This year, I’m in marching band, and I’ve really enjoyed the community I’ve found in it, as well as the new opportunities I have to push myself and learn new skills. I also like to draw, usually digitally. To relax, I like to play video games. For many years, I’ve also been doing cat sitting. It’s pretty relaxing and a nice way to make some money. It’s also very enjoyable, since I get to meet a lot of cats. A few other things I’ve been interested in would be mechanical keyboards and collecting figures.

At Freestyle, I hope to learn a wide variety of new skills that will help me in life. I think I will be able to get a good grasp on lots of new programs. Artistically, I hope my design class will give me a good understanding of many aspects of design that I can apply to both school and personal projects. Another thing I hope to get better at is collaboration. I’ve struggled with working in groups many times in the past, so I hope freestyle will give me opportunities to get better at working with others, especially in creative settings.

I really value how Freestyle allows me to be myself and be creative in the way I want to be. Many of the projects have allowed me to create things that feel my own, and I get a lot of freedom in terms of what I submit. I also feel like the freestyle environment encourages me to be myself, and I feel really supported by both my peers and my teachers. I also really appreciate the revision system that allows me to keep improving on my projects. The ability to improve both my grade and product makes me really motivated to push myself and keep doing better as an artist.
