Being a 17 year old can be extremely stressful with school, sports, clubs, and out of school activities. Luckily, music is a wonderful way to relieve the day's tension.

I had to have three casts and one surgery to fix this break adding up to many medical bills. I am still friends with the girl who was throwing the birthday party, and apologized for ruining her birthday party. To this day I have yet to roller skate after this horrid
