I have known Tristan for several years now, and wow, am I proud of him for what he’s accomplished. This year he is graduating from Crossroads Early College High School AND from Mitchell Community College with an Associate’s Degree. In the fall, he will be attending UNC Greensboro to study dance. He hopes to move to New York one day to pursue a career in performing arts. I have seen many of his dance performances, and honestly, he’s really good! For these photos, he wanted to venture around Downtown Statesville and around the campus of Mitchell. We agreed on four outfits: casual, cap and gown, button up with tie, and dance attire. The dance photos were the most fun. We put on music and he did his thing. How lucky am I, I got a private performance! I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. Thank you for allowing me to capture the end of this chapter in your book!
