The Good Ole Days

During middle school and high school my passion was marching band. I belonged to a marching band called Spirit of Sunnyvale. We were really good and we travelled all over the western US and Canada and were crowned "World Champions."

At the time, marching band was the most important thing in my life. It gave me a sense of belonging, it taught me discipline, determination, and perseverance. In so many ways it shaped who I am today. Over the summer, we had a reunion parade. I went to watch and it was really great to see the group of people who were closest to me growing up.
