Why I Am A Kid Who Always Carried

Throughout my life, I have been taken by music. However, it was not until my 8th grade year in middle school that I realized that I could be a musician for the rest of my life. Before that, music just seemed like something to keep me out of trouble. I wasn’t the best player at that time, and I still knew very little about it all. How could something like that ever support someone? Still, it was the only talent that I could find any success in, and it was still very enjoyable, so I wanted to still give it a shot.

I was born May, 30th 1989 at Wadley Medical in Texarkana, Ar. I was born to Kym Crispino from Queens, NY and William Lee of Hot Springs, Ar. My parents were young when they had me. We were very poor at times, but they always made sure I had what I needed. I was an only child, but grew up around plenty of cousins. I have lived in Texarkana my entire life. My parents split up when I was twelve, and my mother and I moved out into the country on a dead-end street with no children in the area, I became very sheltered and a little socially awkward.

I was born on January 6, 1878 in Galesburg,Illinois. My wife was born on May, in Hancock,Michigan. I left school after the eighth grade to help my family and I left Galesburg for the first time to see Chicago. It was hot as a Jalapeno in June. When I was 19 I left home in June, I went to work on farms and railroads as a laborer. I was a walking freight train. I rode a freight train then I became a hobo. I sharpened my interest in labor laws and the plight of working people.

I am a student who is devoted in academics and my family. In addition, my other passion is singing and playing instruments. Singing has been a big part in my life growing up. It taught me how to comprehend music and it helped me develop the English language. Music uses words that are poetic that can communicate with the listener in a deeper level. Obtaining music in my life has grew my language skills and

I am passionate about playing music, being successful academically, and lastly I am passionate about using my strengths to help others. I am a member of our very own Stockdale High School Marching Band, and I am also a member of the Stockdale Jazz Band. Music is like an escape for me. Whenever I am feeling down, I will play some music and instantly feel better. I want to show people how music can be an outlet for anyone. I am quite the perfectionist so it is very important to me that I remain academically successful in all my classes. I enjoy using my strengths in academics to help others achieve academic success.

Music has been a part of my life since the beginning. My Grandma Hammond, a music teacher, had me start right off into piano when I turned 7 years old. She has been my music teacher since then. I was taught all genres of music starting from classical to what is popular now. My favorite genres to learn were Jazz and Rock music pieces. I remember when I was the age of 12, I begged her to let me learn and play the song Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen for one of my music festivals. My Grandma disagreed at once about my idea because it was required of the piano students to play a classical piano piece. I was a good student and learned that festival piece, but little did she know I would also teach myself Bohemian Rhapsody and play it after my classical

One of the largest parts of my life for the past few years has been music. I has been like a home and it definitely provides a connection for me. Many of my favorite songs are relatable to me in some way. They may describe an aspect of my life, or even a specific way that I feel. Having this thing that I can relate to and actually understand is such an amazing thing.

Music has always been a large part of my life. Since I was six years old, I would dream of being one of the players in an orchestra to my favorite movie. As I grew older, these dreams started to have a greater impact on me and began to shape the outcome of my life. In fourth grade, I began to play the recorder for my elementary school, and I immediately loved it. I loved playing it, and it helped that the teacher was fun too. But, even though I loved playing the recorder, I knew the instrument I really wanted to play, the flute.

Music gives us a language that cuts across the disciplines, helps us to see connections, and brings a more coherent meaning to our world. I started my interest in music when I joined band in middle school, playing trumpet and then switching to French horn, a more complex instrument, in high school. Upon entering college, I decided I was going to give up my passion for music and focus on academics. However, during my first semester as a Pre-Med student, there was something significant missing in my life; music.

I was born on September 21st, 1947. When I was just 2 years old my father left my life. As I grew older, I went into school and I began my writing career in 1959. I finally decided to publish a local newspaper with my friend, David. When I graduated from Lisbon Falls High School in 1966, I went to Maine University to get a degree in English. I graduated in 1970 and went on in life.

Patsy Cline once said “If you can’t do it with feeling- don’t.” This quote may not mean much to just an average person, but to me it is something I live by. Music plays different roles to different people. For myself, music inspires me, while some cannot stand to listen. You have used it as a hobby while others use it as an escape. Music has played multiple roles in my life. It has become something that I cannot live without. Music has been a hobby, an escape, but most importantly it has been a connector for my grandpa and I.

I tend to be a little anti-social so having a form of communication, Music, is amazing. I can sit with a group of people that I don't know and begin to explain to them the reasons as to why I love music and how it's helped me overcome many challenges and problems that I have faced is amazing because of my very reserved

Music, it's a part of everyone's life. From childhood sing-a-long songs, to garage grunge music, and everything in between music is everywhere. Growing up with an extremely musical background it was in my genes that I would become a musician. Playing music has helped me become the person I am by being a release for my anger, broadening my future and make new friends..

In life, there are millions of different activities and occupations which give individuals an ability to enjoy life, escape reality, or have a support. For some, like Emily Dickinson, reading was a great escape and experience to all that the world or fictitious lands had to offer. Others, athletic activities or sports are a wonderful way to build up character, create bonds, and learn new skills and activity and blow off steam. All people have a specific or multiple activities, ideas, or goods which give them enjoyment and are important to them. For me, music and all its styles, properties, and makings help me in many ways. Listening to music, singing, or playing instruments have been a major point of my life and have helped me to grow and cope with the daily struggles of life. The Philosopher Plato said,”Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.” Music has provide me an ability to view new perspectives, learn new information, and connect with people.

As a young boy, I have always had an interest in Music. When my family would go on trips and vacations out of state I would listen to music on the car radio and try to memorize all the lyrics, rhythms, tempos, and distinct sounds of the instruments. The first music experience was at the elementary M.E Pearson. When you got to the Fourth grade, the school allowed students to participate in orchestra and gave them the opportunity to learn how to play certain instruments. As I walked into that small trailer and heard the sounds, saw the articulation and how everyone moved as one. I was flabbergasted and knew instantly this is want I wanted to do.
