My band teacher has taught me a lot in high school. I have had a hard time in high school. I have always been active with sports, but I have had many injuries along the way. Freshman year I broke my pelvis, sophomore year tore my labrum in my shoulder, and junior year I found out that I fractured my spine in two spots (L5). I was told I couldn't play sports. My band teacher was there for me. He knew that sports were a major part of my life. He had my back and he wanted me to try out for All State band. I worked with him every day and I ended up being the first student in 30 years to make All State band here in Pender.
