Chloe Strand recently had a chat with Martha Carlson from Duluth East High School about her future plans as she prepares to attend Williams College in Massachusetts to study Art History and Linguistics.
What are you most excited about for your future?
I am very excited to attend Williams College this fall! I am thrilled to be able to pursue new academic interests, meet new people, and explore the Williams campus and beautiful Berkshire Mountain area. I also hope to study abroad during my time in college, which is something I've always wanted to do.
What personality trait of yours do you feel will help you be successful in your college career? Why?
I enjoy trying new things, which I think will help me be successful as I go off to college. Moving across the country is a bit intimidating, but the excitement that I have about new experiences will help me adjust to life in Massachusetts.
What has influenced you most in the person you have become?
I have played the harp since I was four years old, and the experiences that I have had playing the harp, the wonderful people I have met in the music community, and the wisdom and support that my harp teacher has provided have greatly influenced my life. Harp has instilled in me not only a love of music, but also diligence, confidence, resilience, and gratitude--lessons and values I know I will take with me as I look toward my future.
