Even though I love my school and what I am studying, I still have those moments where I'm not sure if I'm on the right path- it may only last for a second or two, but that feeling is still there...
But God works in such an amazing way that when I have one of those moments, He gives me a reminder of why I am where I am/why I'm doing what I'm doing.
Being home on spring break has been a great reminder as to why I am where I am. There's just something about coming home to family and friends who love and care about you that reminds you as to why you are who you are.
Throughout my life, I have been very fortunate to have many great role models. For me, some of the most important role models are in the music world. Some of these role models have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and others have only been in my life for a short amount of time. Some I've had the honor of making music with, while others I have not. Some are still here with us, while others have gone to be with God. But no matter what, they have all been a big part of why I've chosen to continue studying music.

Most of these people have been with me through the ups and downs of my playing. When I was struggling, they were there giving me support and encouragement. When I was successful, they were there giving me praise and reminding me that hard works pays off. We've smiled together, cried together, and laughed together. We've shared stories of both triumph and tribulations.
These are the people I contact when I get done with an audition, get accepted into an ensemble, or when something finally "clicks!" These are are the people that, in a way, know me better than my best friends. These are people that I try to spend as much time around as I can-because they inspire me to improve day in and day out.
The past few days have reminded me of how lucky I am to have such amazing role models in my life. Some I was able to visit with for a while, and others and it was just a quick "Hello! How are things going?" But no matter which it was, it put a smile on my face. It gave me a gentle reminder as to why I love music.
