Hi, I’m Mia Staulo.
I believe there are many different parts of my life that have shaped who I am.
I’m a dancer. I started dancing when I was 4 years old, and did school online for two years, (excluding the pandemic), to dedicate more time to dance. I am an avid consumer of art. I enjoy going to museums, reading books, and watching films. Storytelling has always been a part of my life. As a dancer, every character I played had to be thought out and planned by myself and my teachers. At Freestyle, I hope to learn to express myself and tell stories in other ways.
My core values include honesty, authenticity, work ethic, critical thinking, problem-solving, imagination, and enjoyment. These are traits that I try to embody in myself, and admire and appreciate in others.
Outside of school, I enjoy dancing, painting, hiking, spending time with family, swimming, and baking. I try to spend my time wisely, on things that bring me joy and help me to let go of stress.
My expectation for myself as a Freestyle student is to put my best foot forward and give every project my best effort. I hope to develop my communication skills, my ability to express myself and my creativity, and figure out who I am as a person and a creator. I see myself developing my knowledge of technology and computer skills, while also growing artistically through projects that push me to think deeply and improve.
As a Freestyle student, I value this time that I have to learn more about myself and what I have to offer to the world. I see this as an opportunity to develop myself as an artist, and as an individual. I hope to take advantage of this experience to learn and grow.
