oh geez, it was that long ago???? I thought you were so much older than me or something! I thought you would be in college by now. good luck with your audition stuff? are you gonna major in music?
THREE YEARS OF BEING SECTION LEADER?! that's crazy. oh wait your high school is pretty small, right? so you have less competition to worry about. regardless, that's pretty awesome. 
​band's been going alright, I think! somehow im one of the top trumpet players in the band????? last year there was a group of us trumpets working with a professional trumpet player guy and we played in an ensemble to compete for NTC. we made it through the first round and then for the next part we were gonna go there and we could've kicked butt, but the virus shut everything down. so that was a bummer. but it was a lot of fun and lots of staying after school and McDonalds trips.

​yeaaaaah I've heard that junior year is like one of the worst years. I think band is really my only extracurricular, so hopefully that'll help me out? I think im required to take it at some point too? oof. im not looking forward to it.

well in the past few months the neighbors across the street and to the side of us got puppies. and one of them loves playing with my dog Jayhawk and they are like best friends! and then the other puppy loves me and is just very sweet. anyways, they both work in the medical field, so if they're both at work, I'll get to dogsit them! and they made sure that it's safe and stuff for me to go inside their house. but its a lot of fun, and they pay me well. and they're also very nice too! 

did you do other extra curricular besides like band and church? I can't remember if you're a sporty kid. I don't think you are, but I also believe that you could surprise me. 

god loves you all! 

aaaaaaah i am so sorry for not checking. I need to get in the habit (,  ,)

ohhh! my sister used to/is studying environmental science too! uhhhhh I dunno what I wanna do?? maybe something with trumpet but that's a lot of pressure and not a lot of money??? I don't know. maybe something with graphic design would be cool????? I dunno yet. 

​I think this year the national trumpet competition is gonna be virtual! so yes! hopefully it'll happen! 
​sure, I'll come over, got nothing better to do.

ohhhh it's required for you guys? we have an optional elective course but it always fills up fast. sucks that it didn't help you though.

oh nooo, those poor pedestrians
​Jayhawk will sometimes bark at them too but there's an invisible fence so hopefully he isn't too scary. 

​future business leaders of america? that sounds pretty nifty. and you're in the national honors society? wow, what a nerd. hahaha. you're a nerd. 
nah but that's still pretty cool!
you got a good variety of things going on!

​I used to play basketball and softball but I wasn't very good at either of them and I don't think I liked them that much? like I enjoyed playing it when it came up in the pe unit but I didn't like going to practices as much and stuff like that. and im not a very aggressive player either.

​uhhhhh band's pretty much the only thing I'm involved with. I like doing nothing :]

no worries! 

take care of yourselves!
