Ayhnisa Patrice's Story

My passion is performing. I love to express myself through art and become another character. This passion began when I was a little girl. My mother made sure to keep me busy by enrolling me in dance class and by allowing me to act in and out of school. Last summer, I had the opportunity to be a part of an indie-film written and directed by Jeremy Engle entitled, “The Teacher”. It was such a great experience for me because I had the opportunity to work with other teens who love to perform. I've grown to learn that being a performer is not an easy task. Being an actor means that when I go to an audition I have to prepare for what I went there for; to get the role. I auditioned for the spring musical in my school and I learned two very important things from not making the cast. I learned that I have to be confident even if I am not a strong vocalist and that I have to prepare ahead of time before going to an audition.

A Note from Mr. Frick, Ayhnisa Patrice's Teacher

Ayhnisa is interested in the performing arts and needs a program where she can truly express herself, and she doesn't necessarily get that at school. Our school is academically rigorous, yes, but we aren't yet able to provide all of our students with artistic outlets, and that is what Ayhnisa needs the most.

A great summer at Syracuse

I had a great time at Syracuse Summer College. I enjoyed the film course that I took because it gave me the opportunity to meet new people and learn to work in a college level environment. The most challenging thing about going to summer college at Syracuse was adjusting to the food and the heat! My experience at Syracuse was excellent, and I especially loved my RA in the dorms - she was amazing! Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Ready to grow a lot at Syracuse this summer

Since I was a 5th grader in middle school, I was taught that it is very important for me to go to college, succeed during college, and graduate. Being at Syracuse will give me an experience that I would not be able to get at any other college. I am very excited to meet other young women who will attend the summer program because that will be my first time living in a dorm and having a roommate. This will give me a taste of what it will be like to live in a dorm for four years. I am nervous about the amount of time I will be away from home because I know that I will miss my family a lot. A challenge that I might encounter during this program is being home sick. I plan to over come it by keeping in mind that I am being able to live my dream and get a chance of a life time. Trying new things and getting away from home will help me become a mature young adult.
