My father taught me many real life lessons. He loves listening to music.

When I was 7, mum introduced me to the saxophone. I did not like it at all when I was a kid. I dropped it when I was 9. But I picked it up again when I came to the US.
What other saxophone players do you admire?
David Brubeck. Although, he is not technically a saxophone player, his famous piece Take Five introduced me to the Jazz music.

Playing saxophone is just my hobby. However, I really love it and I realized how interesting it is to play while working with Mr. McEachern. He was such a good teacher, and he knows his stuff.

Why Salisbury?
I figured out the answer after I came here. I enjoy working with the teachers here. and they will help me at any time both inside and outside the classroom. Also, being part of the Salisbury family helps me from being homesick. I love my peers at Salisbury, especially those in my crew team and my classes.
In addition, I want to say thank you to Mr.Simmons(my advisor) and Tote Smith(my crew coach). They helped me a lot outside the classroom, and made me build up my confidence.
