Alesia's Story

My passion is singing.

I sing everywhere: in the shower, in the car, in the train, at school, in church; anywhere I am allowed to talk I sing. I think that Blueprint Summer at Lehighe will be beneficial because I will learn to read music, keep a tempo, and sing to a monotone among other lessons. I know it's crazy for a freshman to know what she wants to do with the rest of her life, but growing up I learned that it is never too early to know who you want to be. So not only will I be able to pursue a program that I am passionate about but I can also see the campus that I may attend a few years down the road!

A Note from Mrs. Badillo, Alesia's Mentor

Alesia is a vibrant, charismatic young lady who is passionate about music and dance. I was her middle school English teacher, and our school didn't have a music or theater program. Alesia was determined to find a way to pursue her love of music at our school, and she helped to convince me to begin a musical theater program with another teacher. She was one of the first cast members, and she encouraged other students to become part of the program. As she grew older, she began helping with choreography, directing, and coaching younger actors and singers. By her eighth grade year, she was listed as a co-director in our program because of her vital role in fostering the program. She has tenacity and dedication and pursues her dreams relentlessly.

Post Program Update

Thank you all so much for your help with allowing me to go to this program this summer. Not only did I have sooo much fun I got closer with students of other social and racial standings. I made so many freinds most of who I have met up with after the program because of our close proximity of living. If not for your donations I wouldn't have had the the summer of my dreams and learn more in a week then I have about my writing in my whole life!
