Recording my audio clip was a new experience for me, as I had never used tools like this before. I had to teach myself how to use the software properly. It was challenging at first, but I learned how minor edits can make a big difference and that practice makes the process smoother. My cultural background has also shaped the way I approach these kinds of projects. Growing up on the South Side of Chicago and coming from a Polish and French family taught me to value hard work, adaptability, and pride in my roots. Those lessons help me push through challenges, stay open to learning new things, and carry my identity with confidence.
