It's the last week before Winter Break: research papers are being handed in, hot tea bags are spread throughout the lockers, and everyone is ready to take some time off. The Winter Concert featuring orchestra, piano ensemble, and the different dance groups went swimmingly. All of our hard work paid off, and I am thrilled to be starting new numbers next semester. Surprisingly the past few months have gone by extremely quickly, I can hardly believe that the winter break of my senior year is here and college is taken care of. I was accepted to my first choice school, the University of Puget Sound, with a substantial amount of merit money - so my holiday season could not be better. My family, friends, and teachers are all so supportive and happy that I am going to my top choice school, and I can only thank the opportunities SMA provided me over the years to get me where I am today.
What I love about the Christmas season is our TA's family Christmas baskets, where we all purchase food, supplies, and gifts for a family in need. We each sign up to bring specific things and compile them throughout December to make a family's Christmas a special one. I love doing this every year because all of us can get caught up in the impending due dates and the constant yearning for the holiday break, but through this tradition of giving I think we are all reminded of how lucky we are to be at SMA and possess such a wonderful life. Whatever you are celebrating this season, happy holidays!
