“Dance to the beat of your own drummer:” A piece of advice that I have been told my whole life‚ and have tried my hardest to follow. The words were taken from Thoreau’s quote‚ “If a man does not keep pace with his companions‚ perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.” Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau changed our lives.

The school activity that I have been most involved in would have to be Marching Band. I’ve done this activity for all 4 years of high school. I’ve gotten the opportunity to be the low brass captain for 3 of those 4 years. That leadership position has taught me how to be responsible for a whole section of the band. Its taught me how to teach others and be comfortable while doing it. At first it was difficult because I was new to playing baritone and the growth that I saw in myself I wanted to to give
