Music is my passion. I have been playing the cello for 8 years now and will continue for many years to come. With the constant stress of maintaining my GPA and academic honors, music is my relief. Throughout the entirety of my academic career, I have remained within the top percentage of my class. I feel that in life, nothing comes easy, and you must work for what you wish to receive. I factor this concept into every aspect of my life.

WinnerGrowing up in a low-income household, I have learned that nothing comes easy in life. I have worked so hard throughout the entirety of my academic career, remaining in the top percentage of my class, for one goal, college. But now that I am finally at this stage in my life honestly, I am scared. I am a first-generation college student with no one to seek advice from. I am also worried about the financial strain this will place on my parents. I have dreamed about this moment for years now but I have more questions than I have answers.
My parents have always been there for me through it all. Whatever I want to do, regardless of the cost, they will always be my biggest supporters. They have given me their all and I wish to do the same for them. Despite the intense stress of this entire process, my parents give me hope and motivate me to continue working hard. I want to go to college so that I can support my parents as they grow older. Their endless love and support have shaped me into the person I am today.
I would also like to mention my orchestra directors throughout the years. I have gained so much confidence through Orchestra. Despite being involved in many different clubs and organizations, none of them have had nearly as much of an impact on my life as Orchestra has. The directors, at all levels, have always been so encouraging and maintained a personable countenance with me. I have always struggled with self-confidence and last year was an all-time low for me. I felt like I was failing my family and that I was not living up to the expectations of others. The directors helped me to realize that I was not alone and that I could always count on them to be there for me. Giving tips to improve my playing abilities, and encouraging me through academics as well was a huge help.
I plan to continue playing in college as I have realized orchestra is an irreplaceable aspect of my life. For helping me to realize this, I wish to inspire others as the directors have done for me. In receiving so much through this organization, it is only natural to return the favor. With a few friends in orchestra, and band, I have created a social media account aimed at empowering teens who may be suffering with confidence as I did. I am extremely happy with the impact we are making on the world. Yes, I am nervous but I am also so excited to embark on this new journey with those dear to me. I will continue to make my family and friends proud!
