Noted: During Burton?s senior year of high school, she sought out to be a member of the most recognized urban arts collective at the University of Wisconsin-Madison called First Wave. This collective offers a full-tuition scholarship for all four years and it?s based around building an artistic community on campus. It was perfect for what Myriha wanted to do, which was pursue arts, and her financial situation, which was rough. Though it?s still tough financially and being 430 miles from everything she?s ever known to call home, she?s happy for her decision to attend school out of state (even if it?s Wisconsin).
