Assignment 22: Sanat Dharwad

 Probably the only thing “unusual” about my life has been my love of music. Everything else has been pretty normal. I guess my race could be deemed unusual, but I feel like I haven’t really experienced enough resulting from it for it to be deemed so. I’ve been surrounded by music from a young age, as my mother teaches classical Indian dance. I heard songs everyday from my mother’s repertoire, be it her practicing, or teaching. One day my family was eating at a restaurant where a band was playing. After we finished eating I asked the guitarist if he gave lessons, and I eventually started learning from him. I’ve played since then. I’m not sure how this really affects my personality and character though. Maybe this has made me more introverted as a person? Sometimes I’ll spend obscene amounts of time playing and composing pieces. How this affects my college choices? I’m not sure there would be much of an effect, since I’m not a big fan of chill related music. Music is supposed to be fun, and for me,  school strips that from it. Perhaps a club related to music could be fun.
