When I started volunteering at Utica Dance in the fall of 2014, I was just as nervous as the newly enrolled dancers in the class I was about to teach.

I think I should be offered the KISD Education Foundation scholarship opportunity due to my strong commitment to the fine arts and my desire to preserve them from the likes of public schools' budget cuts. The preservation of the future fine arts is a topic that is one of the most passionate for me to speak on due to my yearning to continue to spread its gift to new generation of students.
