Music is the expression of passion, emotion and opinion through the harmony of melody and song. As I reflect on my educational and social journey, I begin to understand how my experiences are like a musical masterpiece, composed of complex and dynamic passages and movements. I was introduced to music in fourth grade, and as I enrolled, my passion for music became very strong. During middle school and high school, I participated in various musical ensembles on college campuses and competed as a soloist and in quartets. The most rewarding musical experiences of my musical career happened about four years apart. The first was when I marched with the Tournament of Roses Honor Band in the 2005 Rose Parade, a historic event that celebrates innovation in music, family and community. The next experience took place on January 19, 2009, when I marched with the Hampton University Marching Force in Barack Obama's inaugural parade. My experiences with music helped me develop a sense of commitment, resilience, respect, versatility and pride as an individual and future lawyer. These qualities are essential in my plans to obtain a JD degree. I am determined to use my master's degree in law as a springboard to a career in the critical field of racial law. As a vehicle for change, I will use my knowledge to influence the legal system to adopt a more innovative and culturally diverse framework. Living in an isolated and wealthy community, it has become apparent that those who have not been exposed to different cultures lack the cultural understanding to facilitate a culturally and socially cohesive community. As one of the few black families in La Canada, my twin brother and I were well aware of the diversity of roles within the middle of paper ......e organization. As a senior and now president, my visions and goals have matured. The group's current challenge is to share your passion with all students so that they too can appreciate the beauty and influence of music. Additionally, it demonstrates the impact that diversification of thought and talent has had and could have on black women in music. Thanks to the diversity of opportunities, I am a well-rounded person academically and socially. My confidence and creativity make me an asset to the UCLA College of Law as my experiences as a scholar, musician, and leader allow me to dynamically improve the student body. The study of law is essential to understanding race relations because it seeks to unify social perceptions of race and law. My past consists of both andante and allegro movements which indicate my future success as a law student..
