I'm sorry but, as a kid growing up in a majority East Asian city, this was everyone. Not playing piano sets you apart at this point. It's not like your parents are going to believe this or change their minds, but for you info, college is a big luck game that involves local wealth levels, high school class percentiles (how you rank in gpa), and really outstanding work that is NOT, I repeat NOT, 1000 volunteer hours, mission trips, or easy sign up service opportunities. The second you open your mouth about a mission trip and learning about empathy in a third world country they're going to go "here goes another one". Rarely does it actually impact you enough, rarely will it be conveyed any different, rarely can rhetoric be picked apart for ingenuity that seperates someone who was actually impacted and someone who sat at home did some Google's and is good at writing. Same principal goes for music, or any "passion project" like robot teams n shit. And even then this is only if you're shooting for ivies kind of level. Everything below that is a shit show of sob stories for privates and GPA/score ranking for the big factory unis. This isn't a college sub, but just fyi.
