Arts
How arts has influenced my life is that I did play the clarinet when I was in Elementary School. I love to listen to music because each song has a true meaning about life in one way or another. I think that arts can be something that you are passionate about and that you really like. Which I'm very passionate about basketball I just really love the game and the atmosphere of it.

How the arts influence my life?
Arts have had a indirect influence on my life. I played the clarinet in the 5th and 6th grade, and that is the most direct connection to the arts. If poetry is considered an art, I used to write poetry in middle school and I was actually published in a book that my teacher wrote. The biggest impact the arts have had in my life is the music that I listen to. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music, from old school rock & roll to rap. I constantly have my mp3 player on me and I listen to music while I walk from class to class. I like the kind of music that tells a story, and music I can learn lessons from. I had a more direct connection with the arts earlier in my life, but arts in the form of music still have a big influence in my life.

Project
We need to get our marketing materials to print as soon as possible. What do we have planned for that? Posters? Flyers? Let me know and I can see who the Chamber uses for printing.
Also, I spoke with Jerry Sanders at Wal-Mart and he said that they would be happy to take the plastic bags that we collect. We just need to let him know more details as soon as we have them.
Also, on April 2nd Rita from the Beautification committee would like to present what we are doing to the Rotary Club. I would love to have a couple people come and speak with myself and Rita. We meet at 12:00 at the Heritage Conference Center. You will have lunch and then present and will by done by 1:00.
Thanks so much.

Arts!
How the arts influence my life? I enjoy listening to music, all kinds of music from country to rock. When I was eight years old I started to take dance classes, which I continued to do until I was 18. I did tap dancing, jazz and some ballet. My favorite was definitely by far tap dancing. But in order to improve my tap dancing skills I was instructed to take jazz and ballet. Doing dance for so long helped me learn about myself and gave me discipline. It also helped me learn how to manage my time especially in high school. I always thought it was fun to perform dances, because it was a sense of accomplishment. I think that art is was more important part in my life in high school then now, but I still enjoy listening to music and occasionally watching a play.

Arts
The arts in my life are few, but those that I have gotten involved in I have been completely committed to. I took dance from the time I was three to 18 when I graduated from high school and even after that when I would come back from college I would go back to the studio. I took all types of dance tap, jazz, ballet, pointe, etc. I loved ballet and pointe the most. It taught me a lot throughout my life, how to take instruction, be disciplined and overall I loved doing it.
I have experienced many types of art though, I have been to Broadway plays, musicals, the symphony, operas, ballets, and many more. I have great respect and love going to the different types of art. I think it makes you open your eyes to so many other peoples talents and makes you appreciate what they do so much more.

The Arts
The arts are a very important aspect of my life. Since the 7th grade I have taken private vocal lessons 2-3 times a week and been in a select traveling choir called the Nebraska Choral Arts Society. I have had the opportunity to preform many solo concerts and to learn to sing in French, Italian, German, Polish, Spanish and Latin. I have also been involved in a traditional Gregorian Chant choir at my home parish that practiced sometimes up to 3 times a week. That was quite a learning experience because Gregorian Chant was some of the first music ever written down on paper, and my! things have changed! I participated in many music camps and I still enjoy picking up any instrument and exploring it.
As you can see the arts are dear to my heart, I honestly believe that they changed who I am as a person. I also believe that the arts are a very important part of binding a community together. The above picture is the picture of my select choir. The arts created a family and many good friends. It also taught me leadership. As freshman entered the choir and seniors left, we learned to step up and help the younger kids with anything they needed.

Volunteering
Many people volunteer everyday, for example to help out their community, to help the poor, or to tutor people in school. Volunteering can impact your life in many different ways and not all people get the same satisfaction for volunteering their time to help someone that may be in need. I think that people who do volunteers their time not only impacts them but the people they help impacts them too.
