The story of my life would simply be titled "determination". Throughout my life I have always been determined to get what I want. I was never a child that asked mom and dad for something and got it, I worked for it. From a young age my mother made me do chores around the house in order to go outside and play with my friends. As I got older, nothing go easier, chores turned into jobs, and my income turned into my alliance. However, one thing that I did realize is that working without passion is not very enjoyable.

Once I heard what the job entailed I jumped on the opportunity;

    The concert hall was filled with hundreds of people all squished together like a can of sardines. Not a single seat was empty. Audrey sat waiting and filled with anticipation to hear the orchestra play. The director lifted his arms in a motion that resembled a bird about to take off in flight. All eyes and ears turned towards the stage. Not a sound was heard but the enchanting notes that came from a silver glimmering rod. From those few notes Audrey knew she wanted to play the flute, but her middle school band director, Ms. Boland, handed her a trumpet.

    Having an immense amount of weight on my back while I was trying to get to my new home wasn’t a very good motivation. In fact, I wanted to drop my pack and die every three steps. It didn’t matter how long I had been at Second Nature and how much I had become fond of the place, I hated hiking with crippling weight. The reality of the situation, however, was that we simply could not stop. No matter how much it hurt, we had to keep moving, or else we wouldn’t make it to camp where there would be a source of water. It wasn’t just the hiking that was hard either.

    The fall term during my junior year was probably the toughest time that I had to endure. This term marks the first time that I got back to school after the car accident that happened in New Zealand. For about half of the term, I couldn’t even ride to school, because a simple car horn could startle me and sometimes it made me relive of what happened on that forgetful night. I was even terrified just to cross the streets, the very same streets that I have walked on for more than two years. Besides my fragile emotional state at the time, I had to take the maximum credits that an undergraduate could take if I want to graduate in four years. While most of the classes were straightforward, organic chemistry caused me to struggle the most. On the

Unfortunately, that is not the most ideal mindset to have especially when nothing is guaranteed no matter how much you would like it to be.

    My parents have always told me that if I would try hard enough and never let anything knock me down I would be something special. They have taught me that if I was inspired to do better than I would do better. All throughout my life people have inspired me to become the person that I am today; my teachers, coaches, peers, and family have given me enough inspiration to last a lifetime and I will always remember their encouraging words while going through hardship. The best part about living in a small town is that everyone knows you and what you’re going through, so it is not atypical to hear encouraging words when you are feeling low. The worst memory that I have a blessing of remembering was on October 10, 2015; the day that changed everything
