When time passed, and I naturally got new friends, curiosity became bigger than just my parents view on music. In seventh grade, is when I experienced new types of music.

I love the fact that turning on a simple song, can make me happy and relaxed. Music gives me comfort, makes me happy, and helps me on my worst days.

I kept having negative thoughts that no one would like me.I decided to join an elective class called food science, but I didn 't know what to expect. One of my best friends now, Faith, offered to help me my first day of school and be my partner while cooking. She made the biggest difference that day, and affected my life in a great way.
