My name is Andrew Donnelly, and I am a high school student. Growing up in Pennsylvania, I have learned how to enjoy and spend time in the outdoors, and see the beauty of the world around me. Because of this, I have found something that I love to do that combines my love of the outdoors with capturing it forever: photography. I also have found my passion with golf. I have been playing golf ever since my dad took me out to the course back when I was 6 years old. Ever since, I have been playing and working on my game. This past school year, I have taken honors and AP classes, and I especially enjoyed AP Government. I also participated in the Ski and Snowboard Club, where we went to Vermont and other local slopes over the winter. In the spring, I participated in track and field, where I threw discus and shot put. I also love to read, and have read constantly every night for most of my life. In addition, I also have had a huge passion for cars ever since I was a little kid.

This year, I have gone through a lot of changes in my writing and in the way that I do things. I haven’t had any life changing experiences this year, as nothing out of the ordinary happened. I have, however changed through failure. When I got a lower than normal grade on a math test, I knew that I had to work harder and make it back up to where I was before. I now know how much studying I need to know for what, and when to do so. I have also changed a lot through hard work. I have worked so hard this year, especially in the fall, when I had golf practice until 6:00 every night, combined with a ton of AP Gov homework each night. It taught me that I always have to keep going, and that I can’t let up. I have also been rewarded by this hard work because I have great grades, and that satisfies me, knowing that all that time was not spent for nothing. Changes through interaction also happened a lot this year. I have started to become more confident and social, especially meeting all of these new people in this new setting. I have also changed a lot from success. I am happier and more relaxed because I have succeeded and done well this year. When I made the golf team, I was so happy, because I worked a lot over the summer to get better.
