A Life Changing Accomplishment
Throughout every school year music festivals and events are held by the PMEA (Pennsylvania Music Educators Association). These festivals are held for students to test their musical mettle against one another for spots and placements. With each advancement comes a new round of competition for each student that places in the qualifying ranks. With each round of competition more difficult pieces and songs are required to be sung by those auditioning. The rounds of competition branch from local all the way to state wide.
This year I decided to participate and so far have made it to the third of six rounds of competition, this has been my greatest accomplishment. I am working on moving forward …show more content…

Singing for so long can be quite physically taxing after all so I had my doubts. However upon arriving at the event I was greeted by tons of people with similar interests and a love for music. The rehearsal time was spent diligently learning how to perfect what we already worked on in preparing for the festival. Essentially, for the duration of the entire two days I had learned so much from the director and my peers while making music with them. With having so much fun, learning so much, and making so many friends this accomplishment created an opportunity for a life changing …show more content…

The first couple stages of growing it were annoying, itchy, greasy, and gross; however, after I began to figure out how to take care of it all those problems went away. Another Unique feature is my clothing choice. I choose to go to school in semi-formal attire every day. I do this to create an impression and stand out in a subtle way while also looking good.
Future Feats
While I do have many goals I would like to achieve, most of my goals are school related. This school year I hope to increase my class rank as well as increase my chances to become a distinguished graduate. I also hope to get a highest honors score every quarter this year. Though this may be difficult I am confident that I will be able to pull it off with hard work and dedication.
“These are a Few of My Favorite Things”
Being the person that I am, I enjoy a wide variety of activities. Some of my favorite things to do are chemistry related games and puzzles; singing with my family and the music groups I am a part of; play games on my computer; and stand in front of a mirror and brush my beard. I do enjoy buying new clothing for school and for going out most of which consists of the apparel I wear to school daily. I am also fond of buying products for my facial hair such as: beard oil, beard wash, and mustache

    As many people have told me before, it is a very different ballgame than middle school’s easy going years. There is much more work, the classes are harder, and the environment is completely different. Many people’s grades may slip and they may cower in fear at the barrage of assignments they receive class after class. Unlike other people, I am confident in my ability to excel at all classes and to sustain exemplary grades. Therefore, while many are trembling in fear at the prodigious assignments and work is bombarding them from all angles, I will be at ease, knowing that whatever obstacle is thrown my way, I will conquer it and be its own

    Many people across the world are affected every day by the gift of music. To those of us who let it into our lives, we truly view it for what it is. Unfortunately, not everyone realizes how powerful it can be. For me singing was something that I was always good at; I never really took it to heart. I never understood when people would talk about how music had changed there lives; I just didn't see how a few notes put together could affect anyone so deeply. It wasn't until last April when our choir was chosen among a select few to perform at Carnegie Hall that I would understand the indubitable impact of music.

    Everyone has a story, a pivotal moment in their life that started to mold them into the person they are today and may even continue to mold you to the person that you will become, I just had mine a little bit earlier than others. When I was three years old my brother became a burn survivor. It may seem too early for me to remember, but I could never forget that day. Since then, I have grown, matured and realized that what my family and I went through has been something of a benefit to be and an experience that has helped me in deciding what I want to do with the rest of my life.

  • My Greatest Accomplishment is My Family

    709 Words  | 2 Pages

    My greatest accomplishment is my family. It may not seem like an accomplishment to most people, but in my eyes it is huge. I had the impression growing up that if my parents did not seem happy, how could I ever possibly make marriage work for me. By the late 1980’s when I was in high school, I swore I would never marry and never have kids. Eventually I did change my mind, reluctantly I might add. We as humans learn to live by example and my parents were not always the best examples. I come from a military family, my father was in the Navy for 23 years. Leaving my Mom to raise my younger brother and me. So every three years we felt like a single parent family when sea duty rolled around. I always felt like my Father choose to leave us when he went on a cruise for six month. Now I understand that it was a necessity in order for my parents to stay together. In a since, what I’m saying is the separation eventually made us a better family. The heart sometimes needs to miss someone in order to know how it feels about them. Sometime my Mother and I both wish my Father would go away for a little while. I would not object to him take my husband with him as long as they come back. The one person who was able to get me to consider settling down was a former Marine. That I’m still married to after ten years and three children.

The school has a great campus that is located in Burlington, Vermont and I am very excited to spend my next four years there. Aside from sports, I had an awesome experience in English 11 and I can’t wait to start this year’s class. My goal last year was to enjoy all the books we read and that goal was reached.

  • My Life Changing Event

    849 Words  | 2 Pages

    A lot of people search through life trying to find something that means something to them, something life changing. I experienced my life-changing event when I was 3 years old. I was in a terrible car accident. Realistically, being 3, I do not really remember what all happened – I remember a few details though, the feeling, the pain, and my parents reactions. Their reactions were crucial in the development of my realization of this life-changing event. All through my life I grew up with this crazy thing that had happened in the past and all I had were my parents’ recollections on the events that occurred. But, youth is just kind of weird like that – you tend to hear more about what you experienced than actually remembering it. My parents really
