You probably won’t like me. You may find my ideas controversial, my thoughts immature and my beliefs ludacris. You may see me as young inexperienced child. You may also see me as a daring political activist. I can’t tell you what to see. What to believe. I can only live my life as I see fit. I do not ignore the criticisms of others, I take them in. Digest them. And then I will decide if I believe I do need to change. I am always changing. And I am never changing. I will always be me.
My life is not the same as yours and I do not pretend that it is. But at the same time I do not allow the different struggles in my life to define who I am. Rather, I take those struggles and use them as a stepping stone to something greater. There is something very wrong with this world and I believe the smallest of hope and change can make a bigger difference than you would think.
My life’s ambition is knowledge. My passion is music. Without my books and my clarinet I would not be who I am today, and I thank my mother and Doug for introducing me to both.
