I'm going to be completely honest there are not enough words to describe what my talent performance meant to me. Years of work and love for this instrument led me to this moment. As soon as I left the RiverCenter that night I burst into tears of joy. I have waited for this moment for years, and before I knew it I was walking off stage. I will forever hold that moment close to my heart. Nothing quite compares to the memories, lessons, and growth I have made this week. No matter the outcome, I gave my very best and that is enough for me. This moment would not have existed if it were not for my mom and my piano teacher. They saw potential in me when I did not, and pushed me to be the person and pianist I am today. I am so grateful for all of the talent preparation my teacher poured into me. This moment was absolute perfection in my book, and I owe a lot of it to her. ❤️
