US Performing Arts Camp was the first summer camp I've ever attended. I was extremely nervous to be away from home and I was afraid I wouldn't like the experience or I wasn't a good enough performer to attend this program. In the end this camp was the peak of my summer. I made good friends that I plan to keep in touch with, I've built relationships with counselors and instructors that could possibly help me in the future, and I learned a lot about myself as a performer. Thank you to all those who helped fund this experience for me, to wishbone for providing the platform as well as the learning experience, and thank you to Ms. Afshar for helping me through every step of this process.

I just would like to start by saying thank you so much for every penny donated to my campaign! Thank you so so so much. Because programs like this one are so expensive, I would've never guest that I would be attending US Performing Arts camp. It means even more to see how many people believe in me. I plan to continue to study hard so I can be successful on the final exams approaching and then I'll start packing for what might be the best summer so far. I'm so excited to be attending a musical theater program! All I ever want to do is act and I can't wait to be around others who share the same passion with me.
