I guess who I am has changed over the years. I spent the first half of my life devoted to playing the French horn. It was my whole life. And often life doesn’t continue as you think it will, and playing and teaching gradually went away. I have since been trying to figure out who the Alise is who isn’t the horn player. For certain, I know that what I truly am at my core is a teacher, a motivator, and an inspiration. I believe firmly that the most important thing we can do in our lives is to make a difference in someone else’s life. And that is what I strive for. So, whatever I end up doing at the end of my amazing adventure, it will for certain involve doing just that.
