My passion, my love, my motivation

For some people, it is extremely difficult to choose one thing that they are truly passionate about. For me, this decision was probably the easiest one that I had to make. Since I was little, I always loved to sing and listen to music. I was always singing some sort of song either it be from the television or from the radio.
When I entered 3rd grade, we finally got to attend music class. The first day, the teacher handed us our own recorders for us to keep! I was so ecstatic that I actually taught myself a couple songs within the few weeks that I had received the instrument. My mother saw this and asked me if I would like to learn the piano and of course I said yes! I was enrolled in private lessons and I enjoyed them very much.
I was so excited when 6th grade was approaching because that meant you were allowed to join the school chorus, which I definitely did. I loved the chorus and the people in it slowly because my friends and we were all somewhat of a musical family. The entire chorus from 6th grade on actually stuck together through our senior year of high school. It was rewarding to be able to all sing together for one last time at our graduation.
As you can tell, music is my passion. If we didn’t have music, I don’t think I could go through one day with sanity. I feel that music, instrumental or vocal, can tell a story and everyone can have their own interpretation of it. I currently play the piano and am trying to improve every day. I am also in the process of teaching myself to play the guitar because it is something I have always wanted to do. I also feel that with music, there can always be a new creation, and if someone really wanted to, they can write a whole bunch of new songs that are totally unique to their own self. I feel that music is my passion because music lets me show my true colors at times when I don’t want to show them to the world.
