If someone asked me "Who Are You?", I would say my name is Hope Huban and I would tell them basic things about myself. I would say that I am currently just another junior trying to get by at Milton High School. I love acting, music and photography. But then I ask myself, "is that honestly who I really am?"

My honest answer to the question, "Who Are You?" is "I don't exactly know yet but I am getting there." In my opinion, experiences in life sculpt who we are and what our character will be made of. As a teenager, I am taking risks and learning new things to get to where I am meant to be. I believe that the way we grow up and induct ourselves into the world, shapes us to find out who we are. I have grown up to be hard-working, intelligent, passionate and caring; and those traits have brought me to where I am now.

 I have found that in order to succeed, I must be willing to work hard. So far in my high school career, I have been devoted to my work and I am always conscious of ways to make it better. I like to push myself farther than my given boundaries so that I can continue to learn. Not only do I apply hard work and diligence to school, but also to my hobbies. When it comes to music and theater, it's mostly passion that guides me to figure out who I am. Singing, listening to music, and playing an instrument are all ways to express my emotions. As for acting, it allows me to bring out different personalities that I have; it's almost like I get to live in a different world and that's why I love it. With saying that, I think the best way to find myself is with a passion. As for right now, I have an idea of who I want to become but I am still on my way.
