Traveling to Cambodia will provide students with the opportunity to learn more about the culture.

Music has always been an important aspect in my life. I experience music and its many forms on a regular basis and have come to find the comfort it brings as a therapeutic outlet in our busy and restless world. When I need to write a paper, or focus on school work, I put in my headphones and silence the world and its many distractions. When I seek a creative outlet I will often strum simple chords on the guitar, or conjure up strange melodies on my accordion or piano. When I hang out with friends, we often head to a show, to not only appreciate the music, but find comfort in the safe and positive community that music brings. To me, music is much more than keys and chords. It is a presence that has guided me as I’ve grown up, and it has helped drastically in defining the person I am today.
