Who am I?
When people first meet me, I may seem to be a shy, quiet, and reserved person. But once people get to know me, I have a different persona - I love talking to people, and some may say that I am goofy because I laugh a lot.

My passion is music. Music is my passion because it is one of the most important things that I like to do. I started music over 10 years ago by taking piano lessons. I love music so much, I entered college and decided to major in music education; that way I can teach others what music has to offer. Also while in college, I joined Mu Phi Epsilon, which is a music fraternity.

Besides music, there are many other things that I would like to tell you about myself. On my spare time, I love to make jewelry, purses, watch scary movies, exercise and watch the Food Network, even though I can not cook. However, my favorite foods are my mom's spaghetti and tacos, my grandmother's grits, and my aunt's apple pie and hot-water cornbread.

Tell us about your platform.
My platform is "The Importance of Music Education." I became involved with music when I was in the fourth grade. At this point, I began taking piano lessons, and to my surprise I enjoyed it. As a piano student, I began to enter various music competitions - Hymn festivals, Bach Festivals, and MMTA. My piano teacher also awarded me with a summer camp music scholarship. Each year I became more involved in music, and I came to realize that music is important and it should be taught in schools. Every child should have the opportunity to learn and become involved in music.

Now, I enjoy working with students and teaching them about music. When I see that they understand a selection, I am enraptured. When they play a selection with feeling, that is one of the highlights of my life. Not only that, I also enjoy the reactions that I receive from students when they hear me perform - it is a feeling that I really can not explain.
