I am so excited that the DHS Band is going to the Rose Parade my Sophomore year. I'm so excited and thankful for this amazing opportunity. Each student needs to pay $800 to go plus the tons of fundraisers we've supported to get the money for the band itself. We decided to have a recital with friends, neighbors and family to help me and the band make it to Pasadena. The recital was a huge success! Thank you so much to everyone who came, you helped so so much and are all amazing! My fingers shake a ton even when I'm not that nervous and then my breathing gets messed up, so I wasn't thrilled with my performance, but Ruby and Nancy were great! The Rose Parade will be so worthwhile and amazing, I can't wait! Thank you all for helping me get there
Senior year is almost three-fourths over. And I know fourth term is just going to fly by! Moonlight, Spring Concert, Prom, AP tests, college enrollments, Graduation! Speaking of college... I got a housing scholarship to UVU!!!! I am so excited and very surprised. I wasn't really expecting it, and when I refreshed my email on my phone, walking back into Dance Company, I jumped for joy!! The scholarship covers 2/3 of the cost for room. I also have a full tuition scholarship. There are 400 students out of the total 30,000 in the Honors program, 150 are Freshman and 36 Freshman get the housing scholarship. So fees, books, about $200 per month for the apartment and food is all I need to pay. Hopefully, the Regents Scholarship will work out and cover most of that stuff! I'm so humbled, grateful, and excited to be starting this new chapter. I think, deep down I've wanted to go to UVU since my first workshop there. Now this kind of gives me the assertion that it's the right...
Golda,
ReplyDeleteSO excited that you have this opportunity to march in the Rose Bowl Parade!! That's AWESOME!! When you get closer I'd love to know where you'll be in your band's line up so that I can look for you on TV!
Glad your recital went so well!
