Music is the expression of passion, emotion and opinion through the harmony of melody and song. As I reflect on my educational and social journey, I begin to understand how my experiences are like a musical masterpiece, composed of intricate and dynamic passages and movements. I started learning about music in the fourth grade and as soon as I matriculated my passion for music grew very strong. In middle and high school I was a member of various music groups on college campuses and competed as both a soloist and a quartet. The most rewarding musical experiences of my musical career occurred about four years apart from each other. The first was when I marched with the Tournament of Roses Honor Band in the 2005 Rose Parade, a historic event that celebrates the innovation of music, family and community. The next experience occurred on January 19, 2009, when I marched with the Hampton University Marching Force in the inaugural parade for Barack Obama. My experiences with music have helped me develop a sense of commitment, resilience, respect, versatility, and pride as an individual and future lawyer. These qualities are critical in my plans to obtain a JD degree. I am determined to use my mastery of the law as a springboard to a career in race-critical law. As a vehicle for change, I will use my knowledge to influence the legal system to adopt a more culturally innovative and diverse framework. Living in an isolated, affluent community, it has become apparent that those who have not been exposed to diverse cultures do not have the cultural understanding to facilitate a culturally and socially cohesive community. As one of the few Black families in Canada, my twin brother and I were well aware of the role of diversity at the heart of the charter and the organization. As a senior and now president, my visions and goals have matured. The current challenge for the group is to share their passion with all students so that they too can appreciate the beauty and influence of music. Furthermore, this demonstrates the impact that the diversification of thought and talent has had and could have on Black women in music. As a result of taking advantage of diverse opportunities, I am a well-rounded person academically and socially. My confidence and creativity make me an asset to the UCLA College of Law because my experiences as a scholar, musician, and leader allow me to dynamically improve the student body. The study of law is critical to understanding race relations because it seeks to unify society's perceptions of race and law. My past tense consists of both andante and allegro movements that indicate my future success as a law student.
