Writing/Essay/Journal
GTCYS bassist Alice values her experience of being in a symphonic orchestra because through it she is mentored by top musicians and gets the opportunity to travel internationally. She says playing in Seville, Spain changed her life.

Write about an experience you’ve had that changed your life. Was it a positive change, or a negative change? Was it a broad experience, or a single event that changed your life?
