La Guitarra

When removed from familiar environments and norms, it is valuable to have a worthwhile hobby. Emily Mower applied her musical background in Chile and learned how to play the guitar. The music from her guitar was an emotional outlet for Mower, and she used it to write 13 original songs.

“Having something that I had control over besides Spanish not only gave me something to do, but helped my self-confidence. Developing hobbies or talents is very fulfilling and the guitar is something I can play my whole life.”
