Although I may not call myself a musician, music has always been there for me. Music has been my way of expressing myself, it has allowed for me to be whom I am and express what I feel. Even though I played the violin for a brief time, I can say it was a very rewarding experience. It taught me that practice and hard work always pay off. Music is an important part of my life because it has helped me through stressful times.

I believe that I will learn from this experience, I will become a more responsible young adult. Having been accepted into this internship I hope to give back more than I will gain. The older I get the more I realize the importance of growing as an individual. LACO has given me a chance to show how much of a hard worker I am and how much I am willing to do in order to learn and be more responsible. There are many things I hope to gain from this internship, but most importantly I hope I will be helpful and show that I am here to do whatever it is they need. Thank you LACO, I appreciate this grand opportunity.”
