This is a picture of me in a kilt with my bagpipes after my presentation in my history of music class. This picture is significant because it embodies the idea of global awareness and how I was pushed to new limits during my first semester. Having to learn about an instrument for my history of music class made me want to do something cool. Without that push from the class I would have never gotten bagpipes. I am going to Ireland over spring break and eventually will make the trip to Scotland. Both of these ideas were sparked by my research into a different culture and their ways of making music.
