About Me/Why Animas?
Hi! My name is Katie Austin, welcome to my digital portfolio. I am a musician with the Durango Stillwater Organization, I play the guitar, sing, and participate in the Durango All-Stars band. I write original music as well and play them with my band at performances. One summer my band performed as the opening band for the Sunday lineup at the Telluride Jazz Festival. Music and Journalism are my first choices in activities because you need concentration and perseverance to do them. These skills apply directly to my attitude in school. I feel like I excel in school because I am hardworking and love to see the pieces come together.
When I chose Animas High School I realized that this is a place where my talents and interests could thrive. This is the place to go when you love to see ideas forming. We are all close here and are open about what we need. People encourage you every step and you can almost always count on your peers to answer any questions you have. The teachers here are almost like family and they respect you and treat you like an adult. You can count on them because they know they can count on you. At Animas we are taught responsibility and imagination. I thrive in this environment and love every day I spend here.
