Outside the classroom

I spend most of my free time outside with my friends. Whether it be snowboarding in freezing weather, or jumping off our boat to cool off in the hot summer, no matter the season, you can find me outside. Related to school, I am an avid actor in both plays and musicals, and I have been on the golf and tennis teams since freshman year. I also am intrigued by fish, and you can often find me in my room decorating my fish tanks.
