What could be a better song to hear than to listen to what is perfectly clear when regarding this young lady? There is a blend of both beauty and intelligence- a harmony of diverse cultural roots that stems from her origins that can only feel pride from her accomplishments of hard work and dedication. The firm yet gentle hands hold this trumpet she has known to be her instrument since middle school. She has invested countless hours practicing and perfecting styles of jazz, orchestra, the disciplined march, and the free-spirited melodies that make music a close part of her personality. Graduating into another chapter in her life, she will look back and see her character traits that will continue to remain strong constants for all that will come to know her. There are reflections of ponderings we sometimes have the privilege to look back at and see- an expression that invites us to remember where we came from and how many loved ones continue to encourage us to do great things. Such is true for Tammy, for this her moment in time where music was known to be just a small and yet special part of her journey.

“Ultimate Dream”

It was never that real
for one to appeal 
to the norm or conventional state
of mind
When I closed both eyes 
The clouds in the skies
were setting sail for a place
to find- 
It’s where the lights didn’t care
where they’d land or even stare
through a field that would call me to leap
For there’s a disc that I’ll throw
and a drive that I’ll know
that I’ve found that is sound
and I’ll keep.
