When I was in elementary school, I was passionate in music. After I entered high school, I have been told by my family and friends that I cannot make a living through music, so I decided to look for a different path for myself.

In the First year writing seminar, we were introduced to three themes the class would be focused on Women’s Leadership, Social Responsibility, and Global Awareness.
