Susanna missed most all of her 8th grade and sophomore years battling Lyme disease.  But she persevered, worked very hard, and graduated on time with her class.  She started as a freshman this year at New York University studying drama.  Acceptance to such a competitive program takes a strong record of pertinent extracurricular work – and Susanna has it.  While in high school she was in the Little Theatre Company for 4 years, did 4 years in Theatre Tech Work, and was Vice President of the Creative Writing Club.  She also did volunteer service at Passport Camps, Graffiti Missions, and a youth group.  She did all of this while working extra hard on her academics that she had missed with illness.  Susanna writes,” Acting is my passion and love and I have spent more time building sets, running lines, on running crew, managing spotlights, and putting makeup an both Jets and Sharks, than I have spent on any other endeavor.”  She continues, ”The last I ever thought would be in my mailbox would be the oversized, stuffed envelope with the New York University insignia.  Still, the idea of where I will be attending in the fall is not something I fathom, even as I schedule my classes and register of a dorm room in Union Square, it seems unreal.”  Congratulations to Susanna for winning the 2006 Clan Carmichael USA Scholarship!
