    Jazz Standards Music isn 't just what I do, it 's who I am, and who I’ve always been. I play twelve instruments. Some fluently, some only a singular note or, maybe a song. This all started out in sixth grade when I could not decide what instrument was best for me. I started out my first two months of middle school by switching from instrument to instrument. I began with the oboe, and a week later, I changed to percussion. Only then, did I attempt to play all of the brass instruments-- and I mean

I was shy, terrified to talk to adults and meet new people. “Hello, how are you doing today?” I would timidly ask the customers who unfortunately chose me check them out. During the transaction I would politely answer when the customer tried to engage in conversation with me, asking questions such as, “What school do you go to?” or “How long are

    HE was too much to bear. HE was a storm carrying sorrow and destruction wherever he went. I couldn’t believe I fell for him, couldn’t believe I gave into his flattery. My life started to fall to pieces with him around and HE caused me to fall down and cry. HE wouldn’t let me leave. HE wouldn’t let me escape. I was trapped in a hurricane of emotions, all of them swirling around and causing me to lose focus. HE always mocked me for being an accountant by day and a librarian by night. HE always said

Moving out of the bathroom, I slipped into my freshly dry-cleaned dress which had an elegant swooped neck paired with a flared skirt.
