Spring has arrived and so has the beginnings of a new school year, seeing the same faces just months ago, but everyone has somehow changed, even if only a little. I left my home this morning expecting nothing out of the usual, though I left earlier so I could take my time watching the cherry blossoms before the day began. As I was walking to school I forgot how beautiful the sakura were. I always hated walking up this ridiculous hill every day but, the rows of sakura made it a little easier to deal with. Although besides that I was not very excited about starting school again.
I never really cared too much about school to begin with. I always planned on becoming a pianist, just like my mother so practicing everyday was more important than anything else. Maybe I would care more about school if there were others who shared my interests, but it seemed like the only person who played the piano in the music room was me.Although that is not to say that I didn’t have friends, I did but, they had their own interests like anyone else.
My bestfriends, Kai and Saya, lived next door to me ever since we were little so naturally we became good friends, though they enjoy to play sports much more than I do. Kai is captain of the soccer team and Saya is one of the aces of our softball team. Although we

Once we made it to our respective houses and parted ways I quickly went to the piano room located in the back of the house. The piano we owned was of high quality and value, thanks to my mother, and I played on it almost every day. I used to fall asleep right under it, listening to various classics such as Mozart, Beethoven and, Chopin. Having heard my mother play all these songs growing up it was only natural that I would be drawn to them as I grew

    Eventually I learned to play the piano as well, at age twelve in the seventh grade. That same year, I enrolled myself into the school choir. This decision changed my life because I learned that music is where my heart is. I realized that no matter where life put me, no matter where I lived since I had frequently been moved around to different schools and different states, music was my foundation. I could express myself in the choir room and pour out my emotions through my choral performances and as a soloist.…

    I didn’t not know what I was expecting.

    The renowned philosopher, Plato, remarked, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” In my life, music has been an immensely important component of my background. From my first piano lesson in kindergarten, to joining choir in middle school, to theater in high school, music has given “wings to my mind” and taught me numerous skills that are an inseparable piece of my identity. Music will always be a significant piece of my identity, and although it may not be what I select as a career, I will always treasure my musical skills and experiences. I have enjoyed playing piano ever since my first lesson in kindergarten.…

    Short shorts. Short shorts as far as the eye can see. This is what I saw all over ETSU’s beautiful campus as I went one day without my cell phone. Initially, I thought nothing much would come out of the seemingly uninteresting assignment, but I was mistaken. It proved to be an eye-opening day, mostly because I saw how much students were on their phones, I learned that I am terrible at telling time, and I can now cope with my social anxiety instead of jumping to my phone.…

    Everyone has that one person that has impacted them in more ways than one during high school, whether it be a teacher, parent, family member or even a student. Rayven was a five-foot tall, Native American girl with a spicy attitude. She had the darkest hair and the deepest blue eyes you could imagine, and she could warm a room the second she flashed her gorgeous smile. There was no such thing as a bad day to her because “every day above ground is a good day,” as she would always say. I had just entered the halls of Mulvane High School as a freshman.…
