Wut are your greatest memories of 2012? Both concerning personal and national/international events.

A big deal for me was leaving my church and losing many friends over that, but bonding further with the ones i kept. Overall it wasn't a great year for me, but it was a good one! How about you guys?

Academically, I finally feel like I am making personal musical accomplishments. Unlike most other music performance majors, I did not start learning music at ages between 3-12. I was self-taught through the books and fingering charts the school handed me, along with the school's clarinet I was provided. My intended goal was to study with a world-renowned Clarinetist by the name of Hakan Rosengren at the California State University, Fullerton. Having no proper training before hand, I didn't stand a chance in the auditions, and have since been discouraged due to the other talented students surrounding me. (I got into the school itself, but needed to audition to be a music major). 

Up until this year, I was just "settling" with my musical studies. Looking back, I guess I was still a bit demoralized after seeing how far behind I was to others my age in this field. Only now, am I really reaching my potential, and have even surpassed some musicians classes ahead of myself. 2012 has been a positive turning point, and I hope to keep growing my musicianship into 2013 and beyond.

My greatest achievement is a family matter, however. After nearly two years of silence, my brother and I started this year on good terms. He was going through a rebellious phase which has thankfully passed. I missed having a brother.

2012 was incredibly busy. It seems like everything is quickly building up toward the start of real life, where there is more than just school to worry about.

 

I finished my second semester of school, got my first real job (and excelled at it, even if it was just stocking a store), got out of a 2.5 year relationship, got involved with the best group of people I've known in the best organization I've known, had a radio show, got notably better at socializing (things changed after I got out of that relationship), changed my major, changed my life direction, and started pursuing ministry as a career. It was, all things considered, a fantastic year, and I hope this one can be even better.
