Brainstorming/Ideas:
Change in mindset after discovering music
From math to writing, I’ve always struggled in my academics
I felt as if I was falling behind compared to my peers
I didn’t feel like trying or didn’t see the point
My music journey started with piano lessons
Then I went into orchestra playing the violin
Eventually learning guitar/bass from church
I started to develop a deep interest in music and wanted to improve
From playing video games all day, to developing and applying a daily practice plan I started to gain more motivation and a sense of achievement. This started to show in other areas of my life such as school
From struggling in basic elementary level classes to taking classes at college
I want to show that this hobby of mine (music) changed my mindset and positively impacted my academics
