Education My Education I attended Leslie public schools from the second grade until I graduated in the summer of 1997. Leslie was a pretty good school. In the sixth grade I started playing the clarinet. I continued to do this until I graduated. Along the way I played the bass clarinet and during marching band season I learned how to play the bass drum.
Many people think of band as being kind of lame but our band was really good.
We competed in competitions which we frequently won. We also traveled to places like Florida, St. Louis, and Virginia. So altogether being in band was a great experience. I also participated in our student council as a class representative and then secretary of student council and in the National Honor Society. After high school I attended Grand Valley State University, where I have been for the last year and a half.
