I opened the door and patiently waited in lines to discover all the instruments that I could potentially choose. When I came to the clarinet line, I knew it was the one. The clarinet was sleek and sophisticated, just like me. That’s how I chose my first instrument leading me to the life-long commitment to music. School was never a place I could be myself.
