Going to college was a life-long dream of mine since I was little. I always wanted to go out into the real world and experience everything life had to offer. Although I never imagined going to Converse, I am finally a college student, and studying what I like to do best.
By the time I was a high school junior I had a list of colleges I wanted to go to planned and made out, but Converse was actually not on the list. It was until the very last month of my final high school year that I decided to go to Converse College. My music teacher urged me to check Converse College out. I was not sure at first, since I had taken numerous years of private lessons through the pre-college program, but since my music teacher told me how good and different the college music program was I decided to give the school a chance.
Going to college was a life-long dream to me because when I was little, someone said "Doctor Hashimoto," as a joke, but I thought it had a nice ring to it and wanted to pursue toward a doctorate degree. Although I no longer want to pursue a doctorate degree, I want to go to college to learn everything I can, so I can pass on that knowledge to others.
Music is what I do. I started playing the violin when I was around 7 years old, and started the flute when I was around 12. It is really fun especially performing for others, and that is what I want to do. I want to be able to perform for others and be able to teach others how to play. That is why I am studying to become a teacher, but I hope to one day become a conductor. I really love to play and I cannot imagine not being able to play anymore, but if I could not play music again, I would probably go into writing, since I also love to write short stories.
