I wrote a song to my Mother on Mothers day. This Application of Knowledge because I used rhyming and writing skills learned in my creative writing class taken in my ninth grade year to write this song and that creative writing class is the class that got me to love creative writing and I have written songs ever since.

I wrote a poem called The Half Mask. Before AMES, I was bullied and tormented endlessly So I wrote songs and poems to express my pains and emotions.

I have always been interested in Psychology and so I wanted to write up an experiment with something I have had a question on. I wanted to see how people treated me depending on the shirt that I wore that day. I believe that colors affect moods and want to test it out by wearing solid colored shirts for a period of time and record how people treat me depending on the color shirt I am wearing. Sadly I do not have all of the colored shirts I would like to test out so I have not done the project. I will have to wait until money is not a constraint before I am able to buy the shirts and enact the project. This is Application of Knowledge because I used research and experiment making skills learned at AMES to do something for my enjoyment.

During the college application process I was also working on theatre applications, resumes and essays. Using my writing skills learned from AMES I wrote a heartfelt one page essay on why I do theatre to show to colleges the reason why I do what I love to do the most.
