Improved Essays
On December sixth I embarked on an adventure with five classmates to the beautiful 1 downtown of Napa to watch student bands from Diablo Valley College perform. The whole gang consisted of Issac, Issac, Sam, Jesse, Carl, and I. We all drove to Napa and may have gotten lost a few times, but arrived early.

Her sister was her biggest influence when it came to art and loves her very much. When Grace lived in New Jersey there would be snowy days when she wouldn't be able leave the house. On the those she would sit in her home and make beautiful jewelry so that was always another passion of hers. She still today in her free times makes jewelry.

Grace absolutely loves the Beatles though and they are her favorite band. I then asked Grace where she thought the music of today is going and she thought it was a very deep question. She said today there are many artificial and synthetic musicians nowadays with all the new technology. Grace said though there will always be the true artists out there and real pure music will always stay alive. She loves the song Love Letter In The Sand and any song by the
