Dear+reader

Dear Reader, Hi. My name is Geoffrey Snow. I have a Dad, my older sister Cecilia, my younger brother Brendan and my Mom. We live in a somewhat small neighborhood in Guilderland near Pine Bush andLynwoodElementary School.We hired a construction worker to build us a house roughly 12 years ago. Since then we had 2 floods. The first flood happened after a heavy snow storm then the sun dried it up but not completely and then we had a major rain storm which made it twice as worse. On the day after the rain storm, I went into the basement to grab something for school and the whole basement was under water at least knee high was covered in water. The second flood was this past year but it wasn’t as bad as we thought. I discovered both of the floods. Our insurance didn't pay for anything so we had to pay for a whole new basement. The most competitive thing that my family try to bash on each other at the dinner table. Really funny stuff is said and we kind of annoy each other out of love though. If you are not there, it's really confusing or you might think that my family is weird. My family has a really aggressive humor it might hurt at first, but we forgive each other. During my sophomore year my sister got me to audition for Guilderland Players. The drama club inGuilderlandHigh School. From the first time that I joined I have fell in love with it. It’s been a passion that every year that I am in the drama club, I would give it my all and have each show be better than the one we did last year. And we have exceeded my goals on being better than the year before. Ever since my sister told me to audition, I am so excited to be apart of something so incredible and special to my heart and everyone else who have been apart of Guilderland Players since around the 80s. Now I am auditioning for colleges for Music Ed. and Music Performance. The colleges I am auditioning for is Crane school of music in Potsdam, St. Rose, Schenectady County Community College, and Fredonia. For all those schools, my instrument is my voice. During sophomore year, Mrs. Teeter helped me experience music in a totally different way. From her teachings, I have learned music completely different than just reading the notes on the page. Music will always be apart of my life and so will my family, my friends, and my teachers that helped me who I have become today. Sincerely, Geoffrey Snow
