Me. Myself, and I

I have had a very exciting 2014 summer so far, and I now have the pleasure to tell a lively AP composition audience about myself! Though I could spend days giving you the minuet details of my life, I will contrive a few paragraph essay to give you a general idea of myself, Naomi Hollard.

  1. I will be a Senior next year and have enjoyed a plethora classes. Of these, I most thoroughly appreciated AP Chemistry and Russian History. I have worked hard over my three years of high school and hope to go to either a big east or west coast university such as Berkeley, Columbia University, or Brown. With these relatively large ambitions, I have chosen to take AP Composition to prepare myself for the future and learn on the way!
  2. In my early childhood, I had to deal with a lot of major changes in my life: I moved from my birth place of New Jersey to a Parisian suburb when I was four-years-old and when I was six we finally settled in Wisconsin where I currently reside. Originally, since both of my parents are French, when we lived in New Jersey, I would understand French fine but chose to only answer in English. It wasn't until I moved to France I would speak French. On the other hand, I would comprehend English just fine but I would then only respond in French. I reached a healthy balance with my languages when we moved to Wisconsin for ever since I have lived here I can fluently understand, speak, and read both English and French. I also understand Guadeloupian Creole (my mother's island language) and now take Spanish in school. In the future, I would like to learn Hebrew, Arabic, Portuguese, and Italian. 
  3. I have many passions within my life but the most important one for me is music. I take weekly hour flute lessons and have competed in several flute competition. Ones that I have succeeded in are the State Honors Band and Orchestra auditions, WYSO, WOW, the National Flute Choir, and the Summer Music Clinic Scholarship audition. Every day I practice from one to two hours a day to insure my improvement. In addition to the flute, I can play the saxophone, the ukulele, the guitar, and the piano.   
  4. In the future, I hope to be both a scientist and a musician. I would like to double major in a biological field, such as neurology or ecology, and musical performance. Though this will be the center of my studies, I am still interested in maintaining my knowledge in history and literature since I believe being well rounded in many fields is important. 
  5. I see myself being bold and outgoing. I enjoy thinking about philosophical issues such as death and mortality and see myself partaking in many intense conversations in the future. Though I don't think I'm the most intelligent person, I think I work hard to gain a lot of knowledge and reach goals.
