ATTRIBUTES
Arts
I am a talented musician, I play 5 instruments very well. I have been playing violin for 7 years, string bass for 4 years, cello for 3 years, viola for 2, and piano for 2. I tried out for a competition called eastern regional middle school in 8th grade on violin and I made it, only 49 other violin players made it in. I tried of for eastern regional high school in 9th grade and I was just above the cut off line so I'm going to wait until I'm a senior and try out again when I have improved more.
Academics
I have been an excellent student my whole life. I am an honors student with a 4.0 GPA. I have exceeded above all of my teachers and parents expectations. If I get an assignment I will do it right when i get it and I will not procrastinate and i will do the best I can on that assignment.
Work
I have been babysitting for 2 years, working for almost 13 hours at the most in one day during the summer and the kids listen to me at all times because I taught them the consequences of what happens if they don't. I usually work 5 days a week. I have had a big impact on one of the girls life because I taught her violin and now she does her homework all of the time now that I have been watching her, one time she told me that she sometimes listens to me more than her mom.
