- The essay written by Yo-Yo Ma was originally published on the “World Post” which is an online news and blog. Yo-Yo Ma, a cellist and songwriter, started performing when he was five years old.He has been able to win over seventeen Grammy Awards and he has produced more than ninety albums. He also graduated from Juilliard School and Harvard University.
- I noticed when reading that he Yo-Yo Ma wanted the people reading to understand the importance of art and what it has to offer. He also was addressing how art is able to teach us something that is able to connect people together. He states in the essay “We are all addressing the same issues with different names attached to them. STEAM will help us get there by resolving the problem. Kids will then go to school because it is a passion and a privilege, not a requirement.” He is saying how one day he hope people do things because they have a passion to do them and it is not just forced.
- Yo-Yo Ma wants to make sure people never forget what art has taught us and make sure that it is always relevant in today’s world.
- Words:
-Consciousness: The state of being awake and aware of one surroundings
-Bandwidth: This is the range of frequencies within a given band
