I may not be playing music, but here I am performing a ballet routine. Music is not only auditory, but also a physical thing you can feel. And I express that through dance.

You know that Maybelline commercial? "Maybe she's born with it."? Well I was born with music. The first toy I received from my parents was actually a toy piano. How ironic that I can only play Mary Had a Little Lamb and Fur Elise. But I made up for that by learning how to play the violin and cello.
I have always been interested in music and I have alway wanted to be the best at it. In elementary school when we learned how to play the recorder, I went out of my way to make sure that I could play it better than anyone in my class. I succeeded, but I digress.
I have always had a special connection with music, and even though I am not majoring in it (I have decided that my calling in life is medicine), I still find ways to stay connected.

Being Latina means that when you are home, there is always music playing. It is something that helps identify who we are and it is a big part of our culture.
