Good morning! My name is Sarah Williams. It’s an honour to be here and to share with you the story of how music has had an impact on my life.
[A]Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all? Two years ago,I was told I had a serious disease which was difficult to cure. My body ached all the time and thus I thought I didn’t have much longer to live. I was very afraid and I felt so alone and discouraged. Then one day,I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment . The doctor wanted me to relax,so he had me listen to some music, and one of the songs was“Happy”. The song made me feel so much better that from then on I began to listen to music all the time. [B]John A. Logan said, “Music is the medicine of the mind.” And it’s true. Music helped me recover.

in the same way that it helped me. I hope all of you will so
