Fiorello H. LaGuardia Highschool of Music and Arts & Performing Arts, New York, NY, US, High School, Art

Considering this unique school, I was able to expand my horizons. In one class I would be surrounded by drama majors and in the next class I would be surrounded by vocal majors. What amazes me the most is that in each of my classes, I could be sitting infront of the next Picasso or Frank Lloyd Wright. I was able to learn various, beneficial strategies from my architecture, anatomy, photography and art history classes. I learned how to depend on myself, yet at the same time, accept help form others when needed. I learned that everyone has their own vision, their own definition of art and their own way of expressing it. Lastly, I learned how to work with new material, regardless of how new it may be to me.
