I am an eighth grader in the Seattle area in Washington. Autism resonates greatly with me due to its presence in my own family. This recital is more than just a performance—it’s a cause close to my heart. My cousin has lived with autism all his life, and watching his experiences has deeply impacted how I view the world. Through this event, I hope to raise awareness and funds for autism while sharing a passion of mine, music. I have been playing the piano for nine years and my piano teacher, Ms. Bonnie Debu is an extremely qualified music educator who's inspired so many young musicians to do incredible things with their talent. This event would include several of my peers who are part of this piano studio, and we are thrilled to be able to donate to such a noble cause.
