Ever since I was a little boy‚ pizza has always had a special place in my heart. From pizza day in the school cafeteria to pizza parties at sleep away camp‚ there was nothing more exciting than when that cardboard box was opened to reveal a round pie with eight delicious slices waiting to be devoured.

Music There is nothing better in life to me than music. Since the 5th grade I have loved music; playing it‚ making it and listening to it. Over the past few years I have learned to make repairs to band instruments. Music has become my passion and I plan to make it a part of my future.
