My story is about the choice between arts and sciences and whether I want to pursue a career that will make me truly happy or find my happiness as I work. High school gave me a choice when I thought I was set on one option my whole life.

“Balancing Act”
I went to a private Jewish school from Kindergarten through 12th grade where we learned general studies but also had a second group of core classes in Judaics. My story explores the struggle to balance this dual-curriculum and how it impacted me, in high school in particular. Through this story, you will learn that the balancing I had to do in school also took place outside an academic sphere with my wide variety of interests.

This is the story of a young girl’s interaction with one instrument that changed her life.
