Thirteen years ago, the trajectory of my life changed forever. Thirteen years ago, fate decided to raise me by urging me to question anything and everything that came my way. Thirteen years ago, my father enlisted in the United States Army, and so began the never ending cycle: uproot, transplant, adapt, rinse and repeat. And throughout this process, I found myself traveling the globe across various cultures, religions, moral beliefs, and societal dilemmas.
By the time I reached my freshman year of high school, I had attended ten schools, and was determined to mind a way to leave my mark on one. It was at this point that I was introduced to the arts.
Through rigorous training and skill development, I was able to skip several levels and begin my experience in AP Art and Design. I can only thank River Bluff High School and all it has offered me. Throughout this experience in AP Art, I discovered the ability to use my works as a method of speech. From here, I dedicated each of my works sole purpose towards societal growth and reform, as is evident with each piece I produce. As I near the end of my senior year, I can proudly and wholeheartedly say I have accomplished such.
