My world changed when I received my first guitar for my sixth birthday. It was a beautiful mahogany six-string, and this instrument would become my creative outlet. My dad, a musician himself, passed down his musical talents and instilled in me the importance of having a way to express creativity. Music holds a profound place in my life, serving as a bridge that connects me to both my inner self and cherished memories with my father. Over the years, my dad has played a pivotal role in guiding my musical interests and nurturing my creativity. Through his thoughtful gifts of lessons for various instruments – cello, ukulele, piano, mandolin, 12-string guitar, and bass – he ignited not just a musical journey but a broader exploration of creativity. My guitar journey with him began on November 24, 2011, marking my sixth birthday, and our musical exploration has been a continuous journey since. Our weekly jam sessions, lasting at least an hour, have become a source of relaxation and a platform for fostering creativity. I've learned to read music, play to a tempo, and quickly adapt and discovered the boundless potential for creativity within every note. Music is more than a melody – it's an ongoing journey of creativity, learning, and the harmonies that resonate through the corridors of our shared experiences. In high school, my music appreciation deepened as I developed a love for analyzing song lyrics and understanding the essence behind the melodies. I found that the true meaning of a song lay in its melody and the emotions conveyed through the music. Listening to instrumental versions of songs became a way for me to escape the highs and lows of high school, creating a world that transported me away from reality. The abilities I've honed through music have profoundly shaped other aspects of my life. Whether I'm at the softball plate, relying on timing and tempo, solving intricate math problems by thinking creatively or navigating internships that involve basic surgical procedures—where precision, adherence to schedule, and adaptability are essential—I find the echoes of my musical experiences seamlessly woven into diverse facets of my journey. In my future career as a medical doctor, whether solving complex medical problems or performing surgeries, the ability to think quickly on my feet and adapt to any change is imperative. Creativity is essential for a surgeon: if something goes wrong on the operating table, if treatment begins to fail, or even if a patient offers an intriguing question.
