A Little Bit About Me

My name is Abigail Clark, but my friends call me Abbie.
I was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado and moved to Bangor, Maine when I was three.

I attended Bangor High School, which is the largest high school in the state with roughly 1,600 people. I became active in many clubs and activities, including NHS, Yearbook, Key Club, and many senior events such as senior banquet and talent show committees.

My hobbies include reading, writing, and photography. Last year I took the AP exam for Photography, and here are some pieces from my portfolio.




Many of my clubs and hobbies have allowed me to interact with the web, from having me work on the school yearbook, and posting my AP Portfolio digitally, to communicating with each other via Facebook. Facebook has become a key tool for clubs no matter the age. Children can talk to each other, and get frequent updates to what's going on, and when events are taking place.

I've been lucky to travel to countries including Germany, France, and Mexico. But you don't need to go out of the country to have an adventure and meet new people. For example, I had heard of Playing for Change from a teacher. "Playing for Change is a multimedia movement created to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music."



When I was in New Orleans I met my favorite singer from the music videos, Grandpa Elliot, and I got his autograph and a copy of his CD.


I've always wanted to become a writer. In high school I took classes improving my writing skills and have even been published in a few locations. I have poems and photographs published in the Yearbook and the school's literary magazine. But outside of school I have poetry published online, and in With Honors, a nationwide collection of poetry.I'm also working on PoJazz. PoJazz has given me a chance to recite my poetry to music I enjoy. I don't know if that's something I want to continue out of college, but it's been a fun experience so far and I can't wait to perform.
Besides writing poetry, I hope to become a Young Adult, and Historical Fiction writer in the future, and I know that being at Champlain College will get me there.
