Two things I remember most about living in Washington State is playing sports and playing music. When I first moved to Washington, I really didn’t know that many people or have many friends. But sports and music gave me the opportunity to meet new people and have fun. My favorite sport at the time was soccer. I was lucky to have a good coach and I had a lot of good memories playing with my team. I had the most fun traveling to different parts of Washington and playing in tournaments with my team.

I also had a lot of fun playing music. When I was in 5th grade, I became a band geek and started playing the trumpet. It was funny because at first, my mom had to force me to join band and play but then after that, I couldn’t stop playing. Playing the trumpet allowed me to get to know different types of people and gain a better appreciation for music. Because I played trumpet, I later started playing the piano. All in all, those were good times.
