I want to go to college because I need to get a college degree and a Master’s degree to fulfill my dream of going into art therapy. College will also help to make me knowledgable on politics as well as current world affairs. With a college degree, I am able to obtain more job options, and have the freedom to choose the career which I am passionate about. And finally, going to college will help give me the opportunity to have a job which makes me enough money to not only keep basic accommodations, but also to improve my overall quality of life.

Today was the second day of pipeline. We went to many classes for the first time, but my favorite is still Rose Portillo’s acting class. It’s fun to chill out and be silly, especially during busy days. We had many in-between breaks today, and it was nice spending time outside while it was warm. After English, we spent time at the mounds together and then went in to our class from Western University, and then to Tessa’s class. Then we got to go to Scott’s for dinner and a pool party! I ate two pieces of pie.

I am Maya Winnick, I am 14 years old, and I am going into my sophomore year at Claremont High School. I’ve lived almost all of my life in Claremont, California, and I’m of Taino descent. My biggest passion is art; particularly ceramic sculpture and acrylic painting. I hope to one day attend Pitzer with a major in art and a minor in psychology and then proceed to attend a school which offers a masters in Art Therapy. While I do know the schedule, I don’t completely know what to accept from Pipeline, but I am excited.  Today was good, but due to my two hours of sleep last night it seemed to drag on. I really wish there was more vegetarian food. I’ll make sure to bug Scott.
