In 2017, I was going to compete on the piano outside of school. I had been nervous for several months, even after practicing daily. This was the last year the Young Artist Piano Festival would take place since the local university that hosted it, UTB, had recently become UTRGV, while also being my very first year in the Senior division. This competition covered all of South Texas. Wanting to do good, I signed up for a piano camp that involved lessons with professionals and a recital. When I learned the results, I had gotten first place and several point honors.
