The Piano
(Posting this again because it didn't work the first time so sorry if this shows up twice!)
Hey everyone, my name is Hillary Godwin, a hopeful psychology major with a neural and behavioral sciences concentration, from D.C. I would definitely say the piano has been very influential in my life. I’ve played the piano ever since I can remember, and although I stopped taking lessons when I was in middle school, I still find myself playing it frequently. It was a great way to de-stress after class throughout high school, and always calmed me down when I was in a bad mood. The ability to read music and master songs that I sought out to learn gave me something creative to focus on that was entirely personal and self-motivated. The piano has been an entirely positive addition to my life, and I can’t imagine what I would have done without it.
