I also forgot to mention the skill I can play at. Iā€™m equivalent to a musician in college even though Iā€™m in high school so I can play anything from Capriccio Espagnol, Op. 34 by Rimsky-Korsakov to any movie score such as Star Trek! ---

Guitar and drums are what kept away from Yo-Yos during a good majority of 2012-2013 and entirely during 2014. Just got back into throwing this year, and now Iā€™m trying to juggle practicing all three skills. ---
