“I love acting and singing, those are definitely my two biggest passions. It’s just always something I’ve loved to do. I was singing opera around my house when I was four and I would put on little shows and stuff like that. It’s just always been a part of me and always been something I’ve loved. My sister was a freshman here when they did Les Mis and I was in fourth grade. I came and saw that show and I still remember the opening scene to this day. I was so blown away by it and I was so excited to get to TA and participate in the theater department. It’s fun but there is definitely a lot of work involved and I didn’t know how much work was involved until I got to high school and realized that it’s not as easy as I thought it would be. That’s definitely helped me grow so much as a person. I think I’ve grown so much more as a person in the theater department and the music department than anywhere else. It’s hard but I’ve learned to work hard, I’ve learned to have a good work ethic, and I learned how to push myself and get myself out there and be the best version of myself. Without that I wouldn’t be where I am today.” -Julia Hildebrand ‘19

Julia will be attending Eastern University in the fall and will be double majoring in music and entrepreneurial studies with a minor in theater. She has always known she wanted to continue music and theater in college and she says she doesn't want a life without it. ... See MoreSee Less

"I have always loved cars, but I just started racing with my boss who I work with at Swedish Imports. The first Friday of vacation was my very first time around a track. Because Watkins Glenn is a private track, they were able to put me on the track with probation so I could work towards getting my racing license. Our team of 5 was from NY and Maine and raced for 18 hours! The longest stint was two and a half hours. I got to do one one hour interval. The car was a BMW Spec E46. It was very very fast and intimidating. The first lap was my slowest and other cars in different classes were passing me at 200 miles an hour. I got up to around 135 miles per hour. It’s physically challenging but the time goes quickly because you are fully focused the whole time, you are just looking forward and in your mirrors. Our team came in second, but I definitely was not the one who helped win. They were really nice to give me the opportunity to get on the track as someone who was not paying to play. The scariest time was during 3 minute pit stops because there are so many rules for how you can use that time, that was my most important job that weekend. We didn’t lose a single penalty in the pit which was awesome. It is a very social event, everyone works on the car until 9 and then hangs out until midnight. Then you are up again at 5 in the morning. When I was at the Newbie meeting for all the 3 new guys, a member of my team from Israel told me about his first race and how a guy from Germany gave him a car. He said he wanted to do the same for another person and he is giving me a race car —A factory Suzuki race car. I realized I would not be able to do any of this without the kindness of my boss and the team. The endurance race forced us to rely on each other. Every person is part of a team and wants to do their best and avoid crashing. I always thought anyone could race but, the only way to become a millionaire racing is to be a billionaire first. It is so expensive. There are a lot of people spending every penny they have for the thrill of racing." -J. Jacques ... See MoreSee Less
