How Did Music Changed My Life
What got me into music? What caused me to have a passion for the guitar? Why do I act so much differently from everyone else? From deaths in the family to injuries many things shape how a person acts. Many of these things I have experienced but this is the only one that positively affected me. All of this started when I listened to one band’s song. One band changed my life.

My friends may abandon me, my dreams may be crushed, my wellbeing and every bit of my fortune can fade into nothing, but I am never going to return from where I came. I want to better myself and help others who are stuck in the dark like I was. The minimum I can do is aid and support someone who needs it. I cannot express enough the gratitude I have for this band for altering my life. The only thing I can say is thank you to all of the affiliates of System of a down, particularly Serj Tankian for all of his efforts he has done for both Armenia and America. His solo albums and EP’s still hold that passion for change. He has inspired me and at the same time
