In my freshmen year of high school I tried to be a rapper, because my cousin was also trying to become one. It didn’t turn out too well, I’m just glad I didn’t decide to show anyone any of the stuff I wrote. After that I wanted to be a so called “band kid.” I actually really liked learning to play music.
