I have found that I am passionate about many things in my life.  I always put my best effort into everything I do, especially the things that I love.  However, music has had a special place in my life, and I have always been passionate about it.  I have been playing piano since I was 7, and I have always found it enjoyable.  Over the years, I have played for my church and high school, which has allowed me to expand my horizons and share my passion with others.  I plan to continue playing and never lose the enjoyment music gives me.

Childhood Memory

One of my fondest memories from my childhood is going to my grandmother's house after school.  Being her oldest grandchild, we have a very close relationship and I always enjoyed visiting her.  She would always have snacks ready for my brothers and I, and she alway knew what we liked.  She also had many toys and games that my cousin and I would play with, and sometimes use to make up our own games.  I spent many afternoons there, as well as many other occasions.  We always had a good time and we never took our time together for granted.

Valentine's Day Anxiety

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, there are many mixed feelings going around.  Those who have that special someone are usually excited for what the day holds, while those who are single often are not.  However, this day still brings stress for almost everyone.  Those in a relationship stress over making the right plans and getting the right gifts.  For anyone who is single, it is stressful for other reasons. Being alone on Valentine's Day is big source of low self-esteem, as well as disappointment.  It is a discriminating holiday biased towards those who are not single.  For this reason, many people find it unfair.
