9th-12th Grade Cultivate and Create Winner Spotlight
This week we get to listen to the talented composition of Fatima Sullivan, a 10th grader, who entered her piece, Light and Salt. Fatima elaborates on her composition sharing, “The beginning of my song symbolizes people going with the flow of the majority of society, creating a bland and flavorless world (hence the minor key and the melancholy tune). However, the striking cadenza represents an epiphanic moment when one person realizes he/she can be the one to make the change by living his/her life in conformity with his/her beliefs.”
