This website was designed to exhibit my personality and experiences throughout my years of high school. The tabs above will display my academic and athletic courses I have taken in each year. This site will be a way for me to not only show my prosperity and development through high school, but also my true colors and who I am as a person. It is a healthy and productive way to express myself and a reminder of my moments and achievements that truly showed it will always be "all good in the neighborhood".
"With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy."

It has always been a struggle for me to accept failure and see that I am still growing as a person, and in that time I will make mistakes. In this shadow art, it shows me and hopefully others that even though we start out small, we can develop into something magnificent. In this piece, you can see that first structure does not look like anything, and even as the other structures were added on, the piece still did not appear to be anything significant. It was until that the final light that shines through the art to project an image was added, that the art was incredibly completed. This tells me that I still need to persevere through my life and struggles, even when it seems as though I appear to be nothing. It has happened in so many others' lives that they give up too soon and never get to see the beauty that they turn into. I, like many others, must see that we are all work-in-progresses, and if I keep building myself up and working hard, I can become a stunning masterpiece as well.
