When I was a junior in high school, we were asked what we wanted to do with our lives. I always knew I wanted to be a music teacher, but, at the time, I didn’t know AU existed. I looked into Wooster College, Bowling Green State, even Capital, and thought I would be a Wooster Fighting Scot. One day, our choir was asked to perform with the AU choir and the moment I stepped onto campus something just clicked. I fell in love with the choral program, I instantly loved the small community, and the distance wasn’t too far from home. After that day, I came back for a few more college visits and, next thing I know, I’m auditioning to be in the program. Three years later, I’ve made so many friends who’ve been with me through good and bad, I’ve had some amazing professors and I even have a job on campus that I absolutely love. If I hadn’t come to Ashland, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I can’t imagine my life as somebody else.
