I have had many opportunities to learn leadership. I began developing leadership skills in 7th and 8th grade playing soccer. I encouraged my fellow team mates and eventually became team captain. My love of sports and team unity has never diminished and continues now in High School with girls wrestling. I began playing cello during my 5th grade year and stayed dedicated to my talent for 8 years. During that time I was typically the only cellist which gave me the opportunity to play solos every concert I attended.
