, where I'll study dance with an emphasis in choreography (in which I want to make my career). I've been dancing since I was 3 and began choreographing when I was in eighth grade, and it just sort of stuck. I do wish to dance before I begin my choreographing. I'd like to be in a Vegas show, dance at Disney, dance on a cruise ship and be a Rockette before I settle down to do my own choreography.

ACTIVITIES IN HIGH SCHOOL: For the past three years, I have produced my own show at North Eugene High School, benefiting FOOD for Lane County. I also helped to choreograph cho·re·o·graph  
v. cho·re·o·graphed, cho·re·o·graph·ing, cho·re·o·graphs

v.tr.
1. To create the choreography of: choreograph a ballet.

2.
 our musical `The 1940s Radio Hour," and choreographed several numbers for the Children's Miracle Network's Mr. North Eugene Pageant pageant, modern dramatic spectacle or procession celebrating a special occasion or an event in the history of a locality. In medieval times the word pageant had meant the wagon or the movable stage on which one scene of a mystery or miracle play was performed. .

WHAT DO YOU THINK WAS YOUR GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT IN HIGH SCHOOL? Maintaining my 4.0 grade-point average.

WHAT WAS YOUR WORST HIGH SCHOOL MOMENT? Falling on my butt in front of everyone in the hall after slipping on some ranch salad dressing on the floor while trying to catch up to a friend.

WHAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU LEARNED IN HIGH SCHOOL? To study hard. When you study hard, you can usually reward yourself later by relaxing because you've got everything done.

FAVORITE TEACHER: I'd like to say I've enjoyed all the teachers I've had, but if I had to choose one, I would choose Al Villanueva. I was honored to work with him on the school musical, and I am honored to be in his acting class. He always has a great smile. He's nice, he's funny and he has really helped me out a lot.

IF SOMEONE GAVE YOU $1,000 WITH ORDERS TO SPEND IT TODAY, WHAT WOULD YOU BUY? I'd probably donate some of the money to FOOD for Lane County. With the rest, I'd probably buy clothes and shoes (a girl can never get enough of either), and then put a down payment on a Vespa scooter scooter: see motorcycle. .
