“This past September, I started high school at Camden Hills Regional High School. It has been a wonderful year (though it’s not over). Both semesters, I kept busy, taking nine classes in the first semester and eight this semester. I enjoy most of my classes, especially Algebra II and English. This spring, I joined the Ultimate Frisbee team at the high school, which has been so much fun! We practice twice a week and have also played a few games against schools in the Portland area.
Outside of school, I continue to play music, going to my weekly piano lesson and rehearsing chamber music with a friend. Earlier this May, I received first place in the junior division of the Pine Tree Piano Competition. I got my driver’s permit in October, so I am working on completing 70 hours of driving. I hope to finish them this summer, so that I can get my license before the fall.
Three times a week, I walk to Ashwood after school. Although the walk is short, it’s nice to spend some time outside and decompress after a day at school. I love seeing the teachers and the young students, while I wait on the rock, doing homework or reading.”
