As you may know, I am a senior at New York University. I’m majoring in Music Education, concentrating in Classical Saxophone Performance; and getting a minor in Religious Studies, concentrating in Abrahamic religions. Today, January 22, 2018, is my last first day of university! Honestly, it’s really not that big of a deal, but I have been very reflective and also realizing how much is changing over the course of the next few months as well as over the next year and a half (World Race).
So, some major highlights of this semester: Navigators Winter Conference (President’s Day Weekend), Femmelody Concert (Feb 27), three fake spring breaks (2 in March, and 1 in April), my recital (TBD), Commencement and Graduation (May 14-15).
Throughout the semester, I will be student-teaching again this semester. But, I will be teaching at a middle school fairly close to me. Which is exciting and somewhat nerve-wracking. Exciting because I love kids, working with kids, and I’ll be in a band setting again (compared to my primarily vocal general music setting of last semester at an elementary school). Nerve-wracking because it will be pretty new. I haven’t had formal experience with this age-group, but I have worked for a few music camps that were for elementary- and middle-school aged kids (but it was jazz).
This is going to be a good semester, I can feel it. So, with a positive outlook for the next four months, I’ll update throughout the semester!

P.S. I have another poem coming sometime soon, probably today or tomorrow. Just giving you a heads up.
Prayer Requests:
- $2,500 by Feb 15,
- More opportunities to share about my World Race experience and expectations, and,
- A non-stressful last semester of university.
Prayer Reports:
- We are just shy of $1,500 by $152; the official number is $1,348!
- I have spent a lot of the last three weeks primarily doing fundraising and the days that I tried the least were the days people seemed to just be throwing money my way; so, I’ll get you unofficial numbers in the next blog post.
