has to stand tall for what we believe in and not only that but the one in a sense of unity open to working together with one another this morning and she's very serene area officers very street and out of street and i was the house i was born in so i was there for about eleven ten eleven years and from the time you get out of college yes i have all interest in music and composing and performing music and so i've been studying music formally for about five years now wow and i did play music for about seven or eight and so my unknown one of the reasons why i wanted you to come on here you are young person that is grown up now how do you look at the situation out the for example the economy do you have any question and especially within the field of music you know it's it isn't or any of the arts that is really a staple there is no security as far as you know  a successful career and so there is a concern there for haps but i always keep in mind how this is something i've been doing for quite some time and something i've always enjoyed doing and that's where my heart has been and so if  i'd rather be doing something i believe and enjoy doing making close to nothing than doing something that it would be very good and that's good i'm glad to hear that along with lose papers do you do you called to take in and keep up with the things that are going on in this world well certainly there is a concern on my part there you know i am aware of and i want to be aware what's going on but there's also i feel sometimes it's kind of a lot of people sheltered what's going on within the outside world and that sort of being a young person you have feet also sometimes having a carefree attitude and being confident that you know hopefully everything will be ok and yet being so young how is there something that i can do to to effect to bring about a positive outcome within such a large scale events why do you say that you feel a lot of people adults especially just ignoring the reality of life that's so much adults i think lot of people have worried about certain things or worry about where they're going to be and where we're going to be you know so many a year a year or two down the line if your attitude is israel situation you see what's happening in iraq and afghanistan and all the rest of it how do you fit in to the context of all of this as a young person today growing up  what is your feeling towards it all well how do i fit in that is interesting question because i wasn't sure you know where were i am in terms of those certain events and what there was i can i can do you know know naturally i want so this is a common feeling among most young people but the feeling that how can you know what i do and what i say in regards to certain events haven't have an impact this large  you know turmoil and things like that at the hands of in do do you  know a conservatory and like that well because also i wanted to be able to pursue other intellectual and things as well as well as work within music and with the other arts there's an art program visual performing arts program that  theater screen studies so that and the professor their professors there are active in research things like that so when i saw clock do you look at the local and state and national governments do you feel that they're doing everything that they should be building one would hope that that's that is the situation i mean we were at a time when we see you know cuts everywhere and a lot of school programs as well like you think leave the arts and i connect with that i went to berkeley high school for four years and i was as cutting and budgets and things like that when you see what's going on you feel it so you should know more about it or how could you get more involved in it and what not don't you feel short out of it or do you feel as though you're a part of it what is your reaction to growing up in this situation well  you mentioned i don't want to know more about it i don't know how to be a part of it certainly oh yes i like to to have to be given as many viewpoints as possible to know always have a complete periphery of the situation which isn't always possible given what we know and what how it's presented and also yes i would like to be involved in certain things but my question is how can how can someone like me become involved in and work towards bringing a one of the things that everyone is upset about was the bush situation what was your reaction to it all rest of it how do you put it aside how it has been just through a general general this interest and certain those substances and having difficulty relating why certain people feel the need to turn to things like that drugs and alcohol to escape or whatever it may be so i imagine being active within you know personal interest to know music largely with family and friends to surround myself with people who are strong willed and such and being presented   and look around in our city or a state or a nation what are some of the items that you could see a young person growing up having a mentor or wanted to make a change  opportunity to maybe let out audience whether they be a young girl whatever and insight of what's going on in your life that is a reflection of the life of others your age so what would you say is something predominant that keeps on coming up as you look at the city  you know wister is a very interesting town there's nowhere else like it but yet it's inexcusable i guess what you we you want to come back i think most people within the state i think i feel the same way within the state i mean one thing it would be nice within the city is you know again my background being within the arts is a see i guess more venues for younger people who have an interest  in the archon who perhaps come from either of your academic background or not academic background and to provide a venue that is appropriate for you know people you're all ages and place should i've been to countries where young people nineteen years of age have been so involved politically have been involved  because then you don't see the other side of the fence what you see on the other side of the fence on the other side of the fence yeah well well there's my side yes and in addition to the other side when you see the struggles that are going on in other countries and you see young people involved in everything else do you feel as though you here are involved enough in the political scene or the community see how do you feel that is this something left out in your life with regards to that to find work to their ability to to move on in life and so forth what what what concerns to people your age have today out there in the world we live in  turn as far as looking my peers and seeing those who are involved in certain destructive behavior where are they going to be and how can they you know not pursuing you know a higher level of education and not really having certain goals you know at this point which is which is difficult and perhaps asking a lot from young person to know where they want to be in a certain amount of time do you think that the young people here was listen talk about was it because if we talk about something we don't know if we're living in worcester do you think that up the tune of these given enough to for the young people to they're you know they're getting together to clean neighborhood parks looked out so in there also there are people who kind of sit about and let things happen do you think that there is a challenge on the part of the city to the young people to do something feel to the city used for the challenge i think yes i think is there i mean whether or not that challenge is going to be accepted or received or is another thing but i imagine that there would be and there should be am i aware of any of them or my currently involved with in any organized programs like that i have to say no let me ask you something  if you were to take and had the up to the to do something in the community what would be the first thing that you would look at  we've been through this interview you've been talking about things like i don't bother with and the political realm as well as a community have you been involved in the political situation not not entirely kno has been like i said i do have a desire to see now to seek out outlets for for research and acquisition of knowledge and outlets to discuss that among peers and to be aware of how certain events are there enough to to do that this is certainly is i mean outside of the frame of the university is there that engaging in a conversation which asks you know what your opinion on this if you were to have a message for the young people that might be watching what would be the message you would give the and it can't be satisfied with drinking with drugs we can't be satisfied with just entertaining self we have got to be more conscious of what is going one last thing very briefly how important is your faith to you and how important is it to the young people growing up personally the spirit my spiritual police is very important the audience pass the word on let's not be indifferent the young people let's not be indifferent to what's going on around us it's so important that we have faith and we share it out of gratitude for what god has given to us have a good day foundation for a better life
