HARVARD UNIVERSITY, Early Action Acceptance
I’m overwhelmingly grateful to be attending Harvard University this fall. At the moment, I am undecided about my major, but could not be more excited to explore the many subjects out there!
𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲:
It’s almost impossible for me to pinpoint a singular memory I am most fond of. Over the many years I have been at Bayer Ballet, I’ve amassed an endless collection of beautiful memories that will, undoubtedly, stay close to me the rest of my life. Whether it be personal feats, such as stepping on pointe for the first time, or the many moments of friendship and community I was lucky to come across, a seemingly infinite number of special experiences come to mind.
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮?
Dance has taught me the power of movement. It has taught me the layered complexity of emotion. The significance of letting go. Dance has provided me with freedom and expression, and the belief that no matter how sunken a moment, these things never cease to exist. Through dance, I have recognized the beauty of simplicity, but also the appeal of intricacy and, at times, disadvantage. Over the years, I have learned the remarkable value of perseverance and drive. The importance of giving something a try, no matter how intimidating it may be. The understanding that perfection is unachievable, and grasping the counter-productive nature of comparison.
The lessons I take away from dance are infinite. With every coming day, I discover something new about both myself and others. For that, I am thankful beyond words.

I think the challenges that come with dance are unending, but that’s what makes it a beautiful art form. With every new difficulty, we grow and learn. I think one of the most significant challenges I faced throughout my dance career was having to balance public high school with my level of training. Most pre-professional ballet dancers my age devote most of their time towards dancing, through being homeschooled and training in the mornings. However, I have always been academically inclined outside of dance, and couldn’t see myself sacrificing academics for longer training hours. Balancing both worlds was arduous by all means, but also incredibly rewarding and has taught me so much.
𝐁𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭(𝐬):
I’m honestly proud of many things, from my first solo on stage to my first time placing at a competition. But if I had to choose a “peak,” I think it would probably be my performance at Prix de Lausanne. For months leading up to the competition, I had a pretty serious injury (along with several minor ones) and was unable to train in the full capacity. I was not even able to dance on pointe for several months, which was mentally taxing and wearying to bounce back from. In the end, I performed my solo possibly the best I had ever danced it, which somehow made all the strain worth it.
𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠?
Absolutely! Dance is something that will forever be a part of me. The gift of movement is one that has no comparison or equivalence, and one I could never give up.
𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞?
I have a myriad of dreams for the future that vary on a day to day basis. One that remains unchanged is finding a way we can integrate the arts to make them a more prominent part of our society. Witnessing a dwindling interest in the arts has been painful and unsettling, so I hope to reintroduce the excitement and passion we have seen in the past, effectively making the umbrella of arts more receptive within the greater population.
