Ever since I been a little kid sports and music have played a huge part in my life. There wasn’t a time where I wasnt play a sport, doing some type of physical activity, playing music or making music. I started playing baseball and basketball until I got to 3rd Grade I switched baseball for soccer. I remember watching football on T.V. and playing football at school, but I could never actually play it with pads and all that because my mom didn't want me to break something or get hurt. when I got to 5th grade my two older brothers who played football in high school and at a JC convinced my mom to let me and my little brother play so now I was playing basketball and football. I wasn't really to go at first I had the athletic ability but I didn't have any knowledge on how to actually play the game. This brought a new element to me they I never really learned from soccer baseball and basketball this was all the different plays and thinking right on the spot and using my mental ability. I really lacked on that and just a year before I started playing my school tested me and it came out that I had a learning disability because I had really bad eye sight and I couldn't really comprehend like other kids I needed to work a lot harder to be able to play. Over the years I got better and better. I was really behind in school my first 5 years of school I couldn't really see and I wasn't grasping the stuff like other kids. It was the summer of 2012; before my Freshmen year. My mother had bought a piano and as soon as we got it I loved to play it all day long my first song I learned was Beethoven Moonlight Sonata. I was pretty amazed on what I accomplished in such a short time. My mom knew I loved to play and I could excel in it so she started looking for piano teachers and soon enough she found a teacher who lived a mile away from us. She's been teaching me for 4 years and piano has helped me a lot with my learning disability helps me focus and think. I started listening to classical music and Orchestras a lot more and some recent composers my favorite pianist is Helen Jane Long. I came into high school at at a very low reading level and almost didn't come to high school because how far behind I was, but now I’m almost at my grade for reading the things I have accomplished is incredible. I’m proud of what I have done I’m not only setting an example for other kids with the same or a different disability as me but I’m leaving behind footsteps for other to follow and to go beyond what I have done. I will accomplish a lot more in my lifetime and I hope others will see and try to go beyond what I have.
