I’ve been hiking in a Costa Rican jungle. I’ve wandered in
foreign towns in the middle of the night. I’ve gotten all A’s since elementary
school. These events encompass adventure, thrill, and pride, and provide color
to the canvas of my life. However, nothing has ever made me feel more alive,
nothing has ever made such a bright streak of neon on my canvas, than when I
speak to people about something I love.
Communication is the connection
of people and places. We have all been communicating with each other since
birth, but I have taken it a step further. I remember in sixth grade when I had
to present my first ever speech, and although my little legs were shaking the
whole time, I had never felt more elated than while I was giving it. This
initial spark inside me has not died at all, but instead is slowly growing
brighter. I went on to compete in a speech team for four years, present bills
at KYA, and now at Gatton I have tried to be at as many functions as I can to
tell people about this wonderful place I call home. Speaking about Gatton is my
true passion. I love this place with everything in me, and I let my passion
flow out of me to others through my words. Communicating with people puts me on
Cloud 9, and causes a fire to start in my heart, making me feel completely and
utterly alive.
