GROWING UP (LITERALLY!) WITH LINDSAY GOULD

Lindsay Gould (2005-2011) graduated from The Cambridge School of Weston and currently lives in Arlington, MA. She just finished her freshman year working towards a Bachelor of Arts in TV/Film Communications at Howard University. She was recognized by her college and awarded a Leadership Scholarship this past year. She is famous at Kidstock! for appearing as the little girl making the adorable face in our Kidstock! literature.

What is your fondest Kidstock! memory?
This is such a tough question because there were so many! Of course I loved being in the shows and all that but I think my favorite memories were the small things we did. I liked having competitions between the “cool cast “or the “hot cast” for Summerstage...or learning all the new songs on the special colored paper...or the "late night" talk shows we would have for Summerstage. And singing “Kidstock! is an Awesome Place to Be” every morning was also always a highlight!
 
Did you do any other camps/programs in the area other than Kidstock?
I went the BB&N summer camp for two weeks two summers in a row. 

In what ways do you find that you have to be creative in order to be successful?
I have found throughout high school and college that creativity is truly how I find passion in any project. Whether it is in an academic sense like writing an essay or handling different social dynamics, creativity is what makes everything work and what brings it to the next level.  

Any skills that you feel Kidstock! helped you get started with?
The two huge skills that Kidstock! gave me were memorization and public speaking. It was so helpful learning different strategies for memorization at a young age because it has become a skill I use often. Public speaking is a huge part of my life and without Kidstock! I would not be able to have such confidence in this area. Kidstock! was amazing at instilling a sense of confidence in myself and my peers at such a young age. Just the other day, I was telling my dad that my brother and I have Kidstock! to thank for our strength in public speaking and many of our job opportunities.
