What did you enjoy the most about AACC?
I enjoyed the people. I enjoyed being on the soccer team there, that was cool. At first I thought I was going to hate it there, but the girls were great. For any activity I was involved in on campus, the people were very accepting and sweet.

Was there any group in specific you liked the most?
I loved theatre because the people were as crazy as me. They were wacky, wet and wild (laughter). But I enjoyed being on stage and the singing aspect of the theatre production. Any chance I got to be involved with music I had a lot of fun.

The professors have your best interest at heart. They want you to succeed. The campus is easy to navigate and there are a lot of opportunities for kids to get involved with on campus activities.

I continued my pattern. I’m doing theatre here and I joined the a cappella group. I also founded a club with my friend in which we volunteer at local animal shelters and wildlife sanctuaries.

We’ve learned that you’re a singer. Is there any type of songs you prefer to sing? Pop or rock. Some of the artists I like are Maroon 5, The Beatles, Journey and Steve Miller Band. Actually, the top forty billboard songs… Whatever’s popular or on the radio.

I went to a Maroon 5 concert a couple of years ago and for my sixteenth birthday I went to see Paul McCartney and it was aca-awesome.
