Activities
Have played piano and guitar for ten and eight years, respectively, prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Created a nice relationship with the teacher, who was willing to do both. Was able to gain important time-management skills when practicing both, and hope to mimic rock songs and follow my teacher's lead after college.
