I can unequivocally say that I have learned a lot about myself this semester. While I would like to say that the conglomerate of realizations I have made about who I am have helped me to understand what I want to do, that is not the case.

I have started taking music lessons, after a few years of just focusing on school. It hasn’t been hard to balance that in, though in past years I thought it might be too much. School is very time-consuming, but there is time for my other passions, and it would have been a big regret if I hadn’t gotten back into music. It is a big passion of mine, and whether I pursue it at college or not, I plan to continue pursuing it in one way or
