Why did I choose this topic: MUSIC?
I have been a singer all my life. As a little kid I would sing along the songs playing on TV that I didn’t even know the meaning of until in elementary school it became my dream to be the musician on stage that I looked up to. Not making the audition for the school choir in my first year of high school was one of the biggest let-downs of my life (although I made it in the end—dreams do come true), and despite long hours at school I have made it my priority to keep music and singing a part of my life. Although parents and friends worried that the busy life of a foreign language high school student wouldn’t allow for my love for music to continue, it grew even more over the years as I realized that my talent in singing and passion in music were things that distinguished myself from my peers. Whenever I had the opportunity to perform in front of my friends and wow them and inspire them by singing, the feeling that I was leaving a mark, however little, in someone else’s life gave me pride, a sense of accomplishment, and the will to continue on. |
