I used to play cello in high school. I started when I was in 5th grade and I loved all the experience that this instrument has brought to me. I made new friends through this instrument, I was able to go to school trip because of this instrument, I was able to complete with my peers through this instrument. This instrument made who I was today. Without the connections I made though cello I won’t be engaged with my peers because of my shyness. Without the exciting and fun school trips the orchestra took, I won’t be as close to my friends as I am now.

When I came to OSU for the first time I was not sure what to expect. I thought the classes would be hard and there would not be any leisure time. But then table tennis taught me that taking a break from studying is also a important part of studying. Table tennis made me more relaxed and less anxious about every assignment. It taught me that it is okay to have fun in college and spend time with friends and play. Also table tennis gave me motivation for studying that I can have fun after I’m done. With it I would not be as happy as I am now.
