What is a fun fact about you people might not know?

In my younger years, I aspired to a career in music performance. I played drums and percussion throughout high school and later performed with the New York Youth Symphony, one of the top youth orchestras in the country. That experience gave me the incredible opportunity to play at renowned venues, including Carnegie Hall.
