Hey guys, I just thought I'd share a bit about how the ukulele changed the direction of my life. You see, I've had a passion for music ever since I first started playing the tuba in 7th grade. I loved music, and was a band geek all throughout intermediate and high school. I've always dreamed of making music into a career. However, it never seemed like a realistic possibility because of the lack of jobs for music majors and such.
So up until very recently I was going to college to become an elementary school teacher. However, I began to realize that the only thing that brings me TRUE happiness is playing my ukulele. You see, truth be told, I don't have much of a social life. I spend 95% of my free time playing the ukulele or doing other music related things. I guess I have a very obsessive personality, because honestly I play the ukulele 6+ hours a day. I know this is on the verge of unhealthy, but I really can't help it.
So right now I'm at that crucial point in my college career where I have to declare a major, and thanks to the ukulele I've made up my mind that I'm doing music. The ukulele has shown me a different side of the musical spectrum, and it is allowing me to express myself in the only way in which I feel I can truly do so--through music. And at this point I really can't imagine doing anything else.
I owe a sincere thanks to the ukulele. In a very real sense I found myself through it.
Sorry for the life story haha! Just had to get this out, and I figured all us UU'ers share the same passion. Thanks for taking the time to read
