- “It all makes sense….My heart smiled.”
- “I knew from first meeting Sophia Maria Andricopulos that she would go into music education…I knew that she would become a leader….I watched Sophia Maria grow from a shy tenor sax player to an active member in the choirs, bands, and leadership team within the music department….she earned and took advantage of every opportunity available, and did so with a humble smile and professional demeanor. She truly found her voice within the music department, and it has encouraged her to give that voice to future musicians, something I see her flourishing with while in the classroom. She embodies every skill that SWAG stands for: Passion, initiative, communication, teamwork, independence, musicality, and spunk. I see her leading her floor meetings, encouraging dynamic relationships amongst her members. I see her engaging with the DMA Campers, encouraging students to challenge their social norms, and interacting with the rest of the SWAG team for the good of the program. She will be a fantastic asset to the program, and I, without any hesitation, recommend her for your program….I can attest that she has been one of the top students that I have had the pleasure of working with, and am thrilled to see her possibly joining the SWAG family.”
- “I feel cornered and stupid and shaky and ANGRY AS FUCK and depressed and shitty all over…Fuck man like what the fucking actual fuck. And what the fuck gives you the right to be a bitch to me…I was right not to be interested in anything you have to say… If you really cared, you’d stay the hell away from me. If I had my way right now I’d rather never see your face or hear your voice again.”
- You’re so worthless I don’t need to know your name. I would really rather not sit by you. We don’t need to talk. Your stories aren’t welcome here. Your experience is worthless.
What the hell do I do with that?
