As far as what I can bring to my sub culture I can't really say. I know that most of the people in the sub culture are my friends so I suppose you can say I can bring friendship. As well as just a bright energy and willingness to learn anything new about my culture that I can. I am hoping by doing this sub culture it will solidify my idea of wanting to minor in the cello.

I have questions about how to find academic support for my topic. When we went on the library database I had no idea what to search for. I feel like the further I go with this project I forget what my orginal plan was. What the point of this project was. 

I plan on spending more time actually interviewing and observing. I'll sit in on some rehearsals and see how much time these students really do put into their music. I know some people who are taking 13 hours of music classes and some who are taking 18 hours of music courses.

Box #15 page 182

Whenever I walk into the front door of my grandmother Clark's house I am overwhelmed by the scent. I know it well but could ever be able to actually describe it. It is just.... Grandma Clark. I enter the front hallway and look to my left to see the piano that I've always wanted to learn how to play so I can please her. I see the tiny rocking chair that I still can fit in, for some odd reason. I think of the one day I was there that they had snow... for the first time in forever.... they live in Pensacola, Florida. I said my first word in her house... I saw a cat walk across the front yard and I said Kitty. I remember playing Bust A Groove with my sister and a distant cousin. We beat the game in a few hours. I remember my grandmother and I playing all the board games in my room there. We would play Uncle Wiggly (my favorite), Strawberry Shortcake, and Peter Rabbit. This were the times I cherished. I love walking into that house. So many memories overwhelm me by just the sweet scent of her house.
