About+Me


 * Hello everyone!media type="custom" key="12053195"**

My name is Connor Washburn, I am 15 years old, and I am a sophomore here at Buhler High School. High School is full of wonderful opportunities, academically, and athletically, in school, and out side of school.

In school, my favorite subject is Science. I really enjoy learning about my body and how it functions. Someday I know I want to be a doctor and learning aboutthe human body is the first step to becoming a doctor. At school I have a lot of friends. I have two best friends and there names are Haley and Brielle. We hang out all of the time and are usually inseparable. Haley and I aren’t involved in many things together, but Brielle and I are. We are both apart of the Buhler High School dance team and the chorus. Dance team is not hard compared to what I do at my dance studio but, it is a fun activity to be involved in! Chorus is fun because I love to sing. I don’t think I am very good at it but, I still really enjoy it because of all of my friends that are in it and everything we get to do and be apart of. One thing that I really enjoy doing is reading. I love books and I get so into them that it is kind of taking a break from the rest of the world. That’s everything that I am involved in at school, but outside of high school is a whole different story.

I told that I was apart of the dance team and I also mentioned that I danced at a studio in town. We dance competitively and are known around the country. Ihave been dancing since I was six years old and it has become my life. Yes, it is fun but it’s also considered “my job.” Becoming a professional dancer is my dream in life and I plan on achieving it. I get to travel all around the country for dancing from California to NYC. Every summer is taken up with month and a half long trips, going to intensives and going to nationals. Nationally I have placed 5th in my age division. Last year I placed third with my solo in Orlando, Florida and that has been my biggest accomplishment yet. I have held three regional titles that consist of Petite, Junior, and Teen Miss Dance of Oklahoma. When I was Petite Miss Dance I was 10 years old and got to travel to NYC to compete in the national convention. The next year I won Junior Miss Dance and got to travel to WashingtonD.C. Two years ago I won Teen Miss Dance of Oklahoma and placed in the top ten in San Antonio, Texas. I traveled from Texas to Washington D.C and stayed and trained at The Kirov Academy of Ballet for four weeks all by myself. It was an experience of a lifetime! I plan on traveling to LA in February and going to nationals in California this summer. Like I said, dancing is my life and my dream.

The people that support me the most through it all is my family. My mom is especially there for me whenever I need her. She not only helps me with school and dance but is sort of like a teacher for me through life. She is in charge of the ICU at the hospital. My dad is the manager of Conklin Cars, and my sister, Abby is a 7th grader at Prairie Hills. She also loves to dance. We have a lot of family in Vermont. That's where both of my parents grew up and were born there. I lived there until I was six and then moved to Kansas. We visit at least twice a year and are planning on going back next summer!

This is just about everything about me. I hope you enjoyed!
