While physical features may distinguish the differences between people, individual talents and hobbies also make each person unique and different.

Senior Spencer Uyhelji is interested in “programming, reading, writing, and gaming.” Uyhelji said that while he is proficient at writing, he is a beginner at certain aspects of programming. While Uyhelji does not consider his talents to be special, he recognizes that he is good at things such as “[picking] up on concepts in math, science, literature, grammar, and foreign/programming languages very quickly.” In the future, he would like to be involved in game development in an enterprise project.

Music makes an impact on some students’ lives. Senior Gianella Cerriteno is an example of this. According to Cerriteno, music is her life. Cerriteno plays the piano and the guitar, and writes her own music. Music is also incorporated into her life with her love of dance. Cerriteno believes that she can dance very well if given the opportunity, and she said she can stand out when dancing. Sophomore Elizabeth Szalay is another student who loves music. According to Szalay, she “can’t go a day without singing or writing a song.” Szalay recently sang the National Anthem at the varsity volleyball game, and she was on the radio for it. Szalay said, “Everyone congratulated me on a job well done and they said I have a beautiful voice.” Szalay believes that “everybody has a talent” whether it be singing or something completely unique.

Senior Morgan Hite is talented with music, but she is talented at football as well. Hite is able to “throw a football pretty far and pretty well, with either of [her] hands.” Hite has been the manager for the Plymouth Rockies for two years now, and she thinks “it would be pretty cool to go full pads and go out for a practice” one day. Hite enjoys playing football because it makes her stronger.

Another way students can express themselves is through art. Senior Oliva Coulter is talented with drawing, and she has “won a bunch of money and awards” for her drawings. Coulter discovered that she was talented at art when she was a child, and according to Coulter she has “always rocked at art.” Senior Kristina Ratcliff is talented in another form of art: poetry. Ratcliff has had three of her poems published, and she loves “how much emotion” she is able to put into her poetry. According to Ratcliff, poetry helped her out of a hard time in her life.

There are some individuals who enjoy what they are talented at, and they enjoy doing those talents.
