I just finished my Master's degree in Business. I graduated from Boston University. I am originally from India. I am 14 years old. I do not live in India. I like to play tennis. My favorite food is Indian food. I also like cooking it. I did not enjoy the pizza my school served. I like ethnic food. I like any food with curry in it. I like spicy food.  I like to cook but I don't have a lot of time to do it.  I cook for my family.  My family isn't critical of the dishes I cook. I don't play any musical instruments.  I might take piano lessons.
Sometimes I skip school to chat online. I am a Junior in High School. I am going to apply for UGA next semester. I like to march and play in a band. I play trumpet in the school band.  I am the section leader in the marching band. I also enjoy writing. I love school food. My favorite is chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes. I also love school pizza, french fries and burgers. My school sometimes serves Indian food. The Indian food at school is too spicy for me, but it's pretty good. Both of my parents work at my school. Both of my parents are from the US. I'm not a very good cook.  I can make pasta correctly.
How did band practice go today?  How often do you have to go to practice? It went well, we came up with a new drill and practiced it all afternoon. We usually practice every day after school, but we only get to practice our drills on the field twice a week since the football team uses the field to practice the rest of the days. Did they have marching band in India?  No, at least not at my school. My city was pretty crowded, so field space was very limited. I'm not sure where were would've even practiced. Are you practicing for some competition or something?  We are. There's an event coming up at a local university next month. We've got the line up for what songs we want to play during competition, but we're still working on the drills for the performance. Our choreographers and the other section leaders are all very dedicated, but we have a lot of work to get done. Especially with the sousaphones.  As someone who doesn't play any instruments and can't dance at all, marching band sounds like a nightmare for me! I guarantee you that after any amount of practice, I'd never be able to play music and walk at the same time. lol! Well, I spent a lot of time doing drill team for JROTC before I joined the marching band, so honestly it was just like doing drill team but carrying instruments instead of drill rifles, but with added steps because of the music. I find it soothing and fun to be a part of such a collective and synchronized whole! I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with JROTC. Could you please explain to me what that is? They're the US Army Junior Reserve Officers' Training Core. It's basically a program to train teens that want to look into a military career when they grow up. Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks so much for the explanation. It's amazing how many little things you don't know about a country when you're not a native-born citizen. We have something somewhat similar in India, but it's usually only at certain secondary schools. So do you want to join the military when you're done with college? I'm considering it. They'll help pay for my schooling if I go to college, and with how expensive college is, I need all the help I can get!  You're so right about that. College here is so expensive. I don't know what I would've done if I hadn't qualified for scholarships! It's good that you got scholarships, though! It's so cool that you managed so much at such a young age! Did your parents help you out?
