at GSP that isnt

comparable.

1. KNITTING BREAKDuring ree time in the fnal week,

Kyeongran Jang (12) knits a scar as she reects on GSP with

a serene aternoon, Jang said. Photo courtesy of Nikita Perumal.

The psychology class

o reormed prostitutes.

It was really interestingto see the eects o

psychology in real lie.

Abi Zhang, Murray,

Psychology

We were studying acting

theories the frst day, which

took three years to get to at

YPAS. I grew in all aspects

o musical theater, and the

best part is that I didnt even

eel like real work.

Owen Kresse, Theatre

We had three dierent

classes: printmaking,

ceramics, and painting.

One day we had another

teacher come rom UK

who taught us Raku fring.

Students at both GSP and

GSA participated in specic

studies of their choosing.

Kevin Maloney (12) stood in the empty hallway at

the Governors School or the Arts (GSA) program at

Transylvania University, flling the air with the sound o

his marimba as he practiced the song Los Paraguas.

Sometime during the song, Maloney, who had intended

to pursue a medical degree, realized that he wanted to

play percussion or the rest o his lie.

Meanwhile, on June 25, the feld at Centre College

buzzed with activity. Meghamsh Kanuparthy (12) stood

in a line. The frst person in line gave the second a

fst-bump, the second fst-bumped the third, and so on,

all the way down the line. Every person fst-bumped

every other and learned each others names. We sort

o knew, right then, that [the GSP administrators] were

hugely committed to building a community on campus,

Kanuparthy said.

Both GSA and GSP were selective summer programs

at Kentucky colleges. GSA ocused on art orms, such

as theatre, dance, and visual arts. GSP, held at Centre,

Murray State University, or Bellarmine University, ocused

on academic subjects. Students in both programs spent

weeks taking classes in a strict discipline: or GSA,

a major; or GSP, a ocus area. They also gained

experiences that went beyond the classroom, studio,

or stage.

For GSP, it was the riendship and trust that

developed over the fve weeks o constant company.

Ive never really been put into an atmosphere in which

everyone was so open to talking and sharing, Alison

Decker (12) said. . . . Because o GSP, I eel that Im

much more open to diversity within ideals, whereas

beore the only people I could really talk about my

views and opinions with were those who had the same

as me.

For those at GSA, the experience meant a greater

passion or the students chosen art orms. Every day

really had an impact on me, Maloney said, but I

remember practicing marimba during the evening and

thinking to mysel, I could defnitely see mysel doing this

or the rest o my lie and be completely happy.

MORE THAN MUSICAccompanying dancers, Chelsea

Cook (12) plays viola in a quartet on July 1. She played a

piece by Scott Slapin, who composed it in memory of his late

mother. Ive never been in a musical, and I like play ing for

reasons other than for listeners, Cook said. It was fun to

play for people who actually felt the music. Photo courtesy
