The start of my time at UP ended my time dancing for over six months. In the spring of 2022 after a tedious day at Weekend on the Bluff, UP’s exploratory weekend for admitted students, I hopped off a step at a restaurant with a half-asleep foot and proceeded to roll my ankle.

First, let me tell you that being a United fan is rewarding, yet heartbreaking. Each weekend my heart races with excitement to watch the Red Devils play.

It’s 12:30 p.m. on Friday, which means that it is class time for many students. However, for the students in MUS 235: Finding Your Voice, the start of class looks different than a traditional class.

And that’s where our conversation begins.

I was religious once, as a child, if you can call it that. I was taught that life is eternal, both before and after the brief moments we spend on Earth. I don’t specifically remember whether or not I was comforted by that idea. I think I was too young to ever think about death.
