I grew up as a figure skater. The self expression, self-esteem and team building skills have followed me from childhood to adulthood and benefited me as a professional. We all need access to the arts from early childhood through adulthood. Art and humanities exposure stimulates creativity, teaches outside the box thinking and creates a well rounded person.
