2. Acting
Acting is something I
love to do. It is always amazing
how you can get lost in a
production by pretending to be
someone else. No one can tell
you that you are doing it wrong
because it is your perspective of
a character. I have been acting
since I was about 4 years old. I
have been in many shows
including Grease, Beauty and the
Beast, The Little Mermaid, and a
lot more. Someday I hope to get
into Julliard School of Performing
Arts for acting. There is nothing
like having people clapping for
you after a long show.

3. Band
When I was in 5th grade, I
joined the Southeast Elementary
School Band. We were all
beginners and just started to
learn. It was definitely a learning
experience because I never
wanted to play the guitar again. It
showed me that I love playing the
piano. I have been taking piano
lessons since 3rd grade and I have
sang What a Wonderful World
with the jazz band at Sky View
Middle School, and Fly Me To The
Moon with the All City Jazz Band
Camp over the Summer. It was
such a fun experience and I hope
to do it again!

4. Carol Raymond
My grandmother Carol
Raymond, or Mima, as our cousin
say, has been a huge influence on
my life. I am named after her, and
she has taught me so many things.
We have a lot of the same
personality traits and my parents
always say that is an amazing thing.
When my cousins come over
sometimes my grandmother and I
will have little surprises that we
planned to give them. She and I both
love dogs and after her poodle Liza
was put to sleep, we both wanted to
get her another dog. My
Grandmother is such a kind, caring,
person, and I couldn’t life without
her.

5. Dad
My Dad is one of the
kindest people I know. He
supports my acting and singing
and dancing. He wanted to
send videos of my
performances to Julliard
School of preforming Arts. This
is something that made me
feel special because that is
where I want to go to college.
My dad and I have a bond that
no one else does. We do crazy
things together and always
have a lot of fun.

6. Elizabeth Raymond
My mom is someone I
could never live without. She
always supports me with acting,
singing and dancing and always
wants what is best for me. She
knows I want to go to Julliard
school for college and is trying to
get me into a good High School.
My mom and I have had a lot of
fun too. We have gone Christmas
shopping together and came out
of the mall with a lot more than
we expected. I always want to be
nice to show her that I love her.
Some of our family friends have
lost their mothers and I want her
to know that we love her and she
does a lot for us.

7. Family
Family is very important to me. I have 7 cousins on each side
of my family and love spending time with them. They always are fun
and energetic and we find crazy things to do. Over the summer our
lake house is full of cousins, family, and a lot of beach toys. We love
having jumping contests and go water skiing. Over Christmas break we
went to go see Blue Man Group in Boston. It was the coolest concert
and my younger cousins and I couldn’t stop singing the songs. We even
made our own dance to go with it. My family is very important and I
couldn’t live without them.

8. Grease
Grease was the first
Middle School Musical I got a
lead part in. It was such a fun
experience and I learned a lot
about blocking and things I
would have never learned
without this experience and
making more friends that all
love doing the same thing as
you is fantastic. You can never
run out of things to talk
about! My friends made a sign
that said good luck sandy on
it. They all signed it and it is
one of my favorite things that
I got from doing the show.

9. Having a Job
After the All City Musical
I got a call from a woman who
owns a princess tea business.
She wanted me to be her Snow
White. I immediately said yes
and now I love getting calls from
her letting me know when my
next “gig" will be. When you
walk out and the little girls see
you for the first time they all
scream with delight and it
makes you feel so special. I love
my job and I someday hope to
work at Disney World as Belle.

10. Idols
My idols are my grand
parents. These people have
shown me that I can do
anything I want and they will
be proud of me, and always
love me. They have always
shown support of my acting
and will continue to do so. It is
always a joke that my
grandparents will be in the
front row seat in theater
when I am on Broadway. They
always make me laugh and I
hope to be just like them
when I grow up.

11. Jonathan
Jonathan is my little
brother. He is a lot of fun to be
around and has the craziest ideas.
He loves to play baseball and it is
so fun to watch him hit a
homerun. The crowd goes wild
and my mom and dad are
screaming with joy. We know he
is happy because he is always
smiling. He sometimes can get
annoying, especially when he is
with his friends. They have fun
ideas, and my friends and I all try
to have a good time together.
Jonathan may be small but he is a
lot of fun.

12. Kaitlyn Smith
Kaitlyn is my best friend. There is no one else like her in the whole
world and that is why we are so close. We fight sometimes, but it doesn’t last
for long. We cant stay mad at each other because we miss all of the fun things
we do. Kaitlyn and I have been in multiple shows together, and if we have free
time, we watch the videos of old performances. We also share a lot of the same
interests. Kaitlyn loves to sing, and play the piano, and so do I. since she is in a
grade ahead of me, we don’t get to see each other as often as we used to. Even
though we are neighbors, we love spending time with each other.

13. Lake House
My family owns a lake
house that we spend most of the
summer at. It is never without
food, beach toys and family. My
favorite holiday that we spend at
the lake house, is the forth of July.
The whole family is there. Even
from California, and Washington
D.C. The badminton nets come
out and we have a huge
tournament that everyone joins in
on. The best part of the night is
the fireworks. My cousins and I
sometimes go into the boat when
it is dark and watch them. The
array of colors, and watching the
boats come by from parties is a
memorable experience.

14. Music
Music is something my family plays all the time. Every family
event we go to has a musician, or a singer. The aunts and uncles love
hearing the kids play. My Grandmother, Mimi, is the most talented piano
player I know. She has influenced all 7 of her grandchildren, and now we all
play the piano. I love to sing with the piano as my grandmother plays. At
the mayors inauguration in January I sang God Bless America while my
grandmother played the piano. My grandmother is such an inspiration. She
has inspired the whole family to play the piano, as well as another
instrument. I love my grandma!

15. Nubble Light House
Nubble Light House is
a Light House in York, Maine
that my family and I love going
to. They have tons of different
flavors of ice-cream and have a
delicious restaurant to eat at.
My parents and grandparents
would say that it is the best
lobster in Maine. One of the
best memories I have is at
Nubble Lighthouse, and I can’t
wait to go back in August.

16. Olivia Wilson
Olivia Wilson is
one of the most talented
girls I know. She has been
in multiple shows with
me and every time I hear
her I am amazed by her
talent. She is a very kind,
humble girl and is one of
my best friends. I look up
to her and I hope that
she never looses her love
for theater.

17. Piano
The piano is my favorite
instrument. I have been playing it
since I was in 1st grade. I love how
you can pretend that you are a
famous composer. My Piano has
settings that can play music for
you so you can pretend that you
are playing. My brother and I
always try to impress people when
they come over for dinner and
start playing the piano. What they
don’t know is that it is really the
piano and not our fingers.

18. Quote
One of my favorite
quotes is there are no shortcuts
.
to any place worth going This
is irrelevant to me because I want
to go to Julliard and so I have to
work hard to get there. I couldn’t
just arrive there and expect to be
accepted. I have to work as much
as I possibly can to get to this
college. I also have to work hard in
school. Learning something new is
hard, and you cant skip it to get
ahead. You wont be ahead of the
other students. You will be behind.
They will know something you
don’t. it is always important to
work hard, and remember that
there are no shortcuts to anywhere
worth going.

19. Reading
One of my favorite books I have
read is What happened to
Goodbye? By Sarah Dessen. When I
was reading this book it made me
realize that it is very hard to move
to different schools and make new
friends all the time. The character
in this book, Eliza McClean, moves
to a ton of different towns because
of her dads job. Her parents got a
divorce when she was a teenager
and it was very hard on Eliza. She
never wanted to talk to her mother
again, and she didn’t have many
friends to talk to, but made friends
throughout this amazing book.

20. Singing
Singing is something I love to do. Most of the time,
singing makes me calm down if I'm upset. People always
say that music makes them calm down but for me, its
singing that does that. I always try to put emotion into my
songs when I sing because it can show how you feel. It
also can bring a musical together by adding songs.

21. Teachers
teachers are people who will
help to guide you in the right direction.
When other students get mad at the
teacher for making them do something, it
doesn’t make sense to me. They are only
trying not to get you in trouble. My
teachers over the past few years have
been great. I have had trouble with math
and all of my teachers have helped me
with them. So far my favorite teachers
have been 4th grade, Miss Bahde and Miss
Buss, my 7th grade team, and my 8th grade
team. They have taught me so much, and I
wish I could have them as teachers at the
high school. My other favorite teachers are
the Music teachers. They always give
attention to everyone and make sure
everyone is included.

22. Universal Studios
Universal studios is one of the theme parks in Florida,
California, Singapore, and Japan. They are a big rival to the
theme park Disney. For an ELA project I picked Universal
studios to research, and I am learning a lot if things I never
would of learned otherwise. It is a huge company making
movies, a theme park, a shopping plaza for locals in Florida,
and multiple locations all over the world.

23. Vacation
I love to take Vacations
with my families. They are always
so fun and they create memories
that last forever. One of my
favorite vacations Is when my
whole family and I go to Maine
for a week in the summer.
Another favorite vacation of mine
is going skiing with my mom’s
side of the family. We always
have tone of fun finding hidden
trails and making more… then we
go down the slope again and try
to find them. It is always a
challenge and that Is why It is so
much fun.

24. Winter
Winter is one of my
favorite seasons. I love when
you come in from outside and
there is a warm cup of hot
chocolate waiting for you on
the table. I also love
Christmas time. My cousins
come from California, and the
whole family opens gifts, eats
a delicious dinner, and has a
great time together. The
untouched snow is so pretty
when you first wake up on a
cold winter morning after a This picture was taken next to
snow storm. the Doyle Estate in Leominster
MA

25. X-rays
I have never had an x ray. People always say that they have had tons of x
rays and that they have broken tons of bones, and I say that I have never gotten an
x ray for a broken bone. They really scare me. The big machines that take pictures
of the bones inside your body. It creeps me out. I hope to never have a broken
bone, so I try to be safe when I am active.

26. York Beach, Maine
York beach is one of my
favorite “Vacation Destinations.”
when my dad’s side of the family
gets together, it is always a crazy
party. 7 younger cousins are never
settled down. There is always a
game in progress, even at the
beach. The nightly strolls and bike
rides are the best part. We walk
down to the beach and listen to
the band play and dance around.
Ice cream is always wanted and
the parents have to give in.

27. Zodiac Sign
My birthday is March 29
1999, so my zodiac sign is Aries.
The Aries Zodiac sign means the
Ram. Aries is the first Zodiac Sign,
and most Aries see themselves as
first because of this. An Aries is a
great leader, and they always want
to start a project. But, they never
really want to finish it. That is a
quality I posses. I never feel like
completing a project I assign to
myself, like if I am painting a This picture of the Aries sign
picture, or learning a new song on describes me perfectly. I love the
the piano. music element that the two treble
clefs add.
