I have always wanted to do composition and arrangement in music. It was a blessing and gift that the Lord gave me the opportunity to pursue a degree in this field. In this journey, I encountered different kind of challenges which resulted in me having to compose music pieces that I was not good at and comfortable with, yet the Lord continued to give me the strength to hone and improve my skills as a composer. Most of all, I am grateful that He let me see my music come to life, to hear the notes that I wrote being played and shared with others. During my end-of-year recital, I felt my dream finally come true, that is to perform my piece and conduct the musicians in front of an audience. I was also deeply moved and grateful to receive flowers and gifts from my family and friends who attended my recital. Their love and support touched my heart, and it encourages me to keep on working hard and to continue pursue my calling as a composer. I felt all glory belongs to the Lord, who gave this gift in me and I will continue to use it for His purpose.
