Before Miguel entered the care system, he held a well-loved guitar close to his heart, a constant companion that resonated with his dreams and emotions. When he had to leave it behind, it felt like a piece of him was lost. Yet, rather than letting this setback extinguish his passion, Miguel’s love for music only deepened. He dedicated himself to teaching himself the guitar, pouring over countless tutorials and performances on YouTube, his determination unwavering. With each strum and chord progression, his spirit soared. When he talks about his dream of playing alongside the church choir, his eyes sparkle with a light that speaks volumes about his aspirations. He carries within him a heartfelt hope to one day share his music with a community, believing that his melodies could uplift others and create a sense of belonging. Every note he learns is a step closer to the moment he can contribute his talents and enrich the lives of those around him through the power of music. Miguel doesn’t just want to play; he yearns to connect, inspire, and spread joy, turning his dreams into reality for himself and others.
