National Arts Award

During my junior and senior years of high school, I dived into the field of arts. At the time I joined art club and enhanced my skills to compete in art competitions ran by the school. By the end of junior year, my work had gotten me into second place. Going into the end of senior year, multiple of my art pieces were placed among two different competitions ran by close districts. While I didn't place in the Munster competition, a still life drawing of mine had won first place at the competition ran by Highland. This award granted me the opportunity of an Arts Scholarship, helping fund my college tuition.
