A world I grew up in and know very well is the world of dance. I started ballet when I was 4 years old and continued for ten more years. Eventually, I added in tap and jazz. I loved recitals and performing.

I read the first three books in The Doll People series, by Ann M. Martin and Laura Godwin, when I was in early elementary school. Whenever I am asked about my favorite book, my mind flashes back to these stories. The Runaway Dolls was my favorite out of the three and I can vividly remember how I felt reading it, even now.

A world I often like to explore is that of art. This is a world that I became interested in when I was young and have continued to develop to this day. I created these two paintings as my  final in an MU painting class. They are comprised of the letters in the words "La Vie En Rose" and are meant to convey the feeling of the song by Edith Piaf.

One thing that I love is the New York Times daily crossword. My brother and I recently downloaded the app and it's a great way for us to both engage our minds and stay connected. After attempting to complete it by ourselves, we start collaborating to fill in boxes the other had solved.

The source of words that I consume most often is through social media. One of my favorite accounts that I found through Instagram is called "Sh*t You Should Care About." Aside from posting on social media, they send out newsletters, write articles, and record podcasts about topics I'm interested in. Their content usually has to do with global/social justice issues and events, but sometimes they post about Harry Styles and shows like Love Island (which some people think ruins their credibility, but I find to be a fun and light-hearted way to break up a string of intense/bleak reports).

Traveling is a world that I have gotten to know over the course of my life and would like to get to know even better. I love national parks in the U.S. like Yellowstone and Mount Rainier. My favorite place I've been so far is Florence, Italy and I would love to go to Greece someday!
