Studying abroad has always been a dream of mine. I have been living this dream since February 2015 when I came to the United States to pursue my dreams in music. This six-year journey has taught me important life lessons and my dreams have evolved with these experiences too. I am currently a board-certified music therapist pursuing my masters degree at Appalachian State University and researching on music therapy treatment for depression. Being away from home is challenging for me, therefore, I am so thankful for the community here and I know that I would not have made it this far without them. "No man is an island, entire of itself" - John Donne. This is my story of community, friends that walked with me through my darkest moments and helped me find myself again. They are my family in a home away from home.
