Monologue

My name’s Veronica. What I like best is listening to music and going to concerts. I also love driving with my friends with the windows down, blasting our favorite songs. I can’t stand liars and people who aren’t trustworthy. I identify myself as a college student from Long Island. The roles I play in my life include student, friend, and daughter. My friends are incredibly important to me because I know I can always count on them to be there for me when I need them. I’m not afraid of anything specific, but I’m not very good at trying new things. I always try to look for the good in every situation, so pretty much anything and everything makes me happy in one way or another. However, I’m happiest when I’m at a concert listening to one of my favorite bands perform. A moment I felt embarrassed was when on a school trip to Splish Splash I tripped in the kiddie pool and smacked my head on the ground. Luckily my friends didn’t notice, even when the lifeguard came over to me and asked if I thought I had a concussion. A moment I felt empowered was when a club I co-founded my senior year of high school managed to raise $5,600 to build a freshwater well in Uganda after only 3 months of fundraising.
