13.      What is your favorite show you have performed in OR seen from the audience?  Why is this your favorite?

My favorte show that I have seen from the audiance was the show they did at our town in Faith that night after the school show. It made me want to do SR more than anything. I have the RC group to thank for the insperation to join SR.

The greatest show that I think that I have ever done was here in Faith at the girls conference games. It was so much fun Elizebeth and I totally rocked our side of the gym. We had people we didn't even know tell us how much they enjoyed our performance. It made me feel really good. So I cant wait for our next show.

14.      If you could thank one person for something they did in your life at this point in time, who would it be and how would you thank them?

My mom. Because she keeps pushing me to work harder and try more. To thank her I would do my best on everything I try and do.

15.      If you had to tell a random stranger, who has never played drums or any musical instrument, what Sheltered Reality is and stands for, what would you say?

I think that the step "Do whatever it takes" has paid off for me most of all. Because when SR frist came and I learned that they could come back and do another show or start a cite here I knew that I had to do whatever it took to get a cite here because I really really wanted to join SR. So that summer I did what ever it took and now we have a cite and I love being in it.
