“My degree that I hope to earn<br />
is in music education, but I am<br />
thinking about changing it to<br />
music therapy. Like working at<br />
a hospital, just playing music for<br />
people. I think that would be<br />
pretty sweet. I feel like helping<br />
people by doing my own thing<br />
musically would be pretty<br />
great. Why not? I feel like<br />
there are certain wards who<br />
have people to come to<br />
play piano, or I have seen<br />
people hand out instruments<br />
to everyone in the<br />
hospital to give them a<br />
chance to interact. Or like<br />
an old folks home would<br />
be fun. Just a way to help<br />
people using my music.”<br />

Have you ever seen that painting by Michelangelo where God<br />
is coming down and touching Adam’s finger? That’s kind of<br />
what it is (religion), it’s kind of that connection that you have<br />
with people. It’s a big passion of mine, like I live in the city of<br />
Grand Rapids, my church is in the city of Grand Rapids. It’s how<br />
to keep the city healthy with food, housing, jobs, all that kind of<br />
stuff.<br />
