Music: the Melody of Life <3 “A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.” – Maya Angelo. Singing honestly makes me forget everything that I think about daily, especially when I’m truly singing I feel the happiest that I believe I ever could. I believe that even if you think you can’t sing well, you should sing anyways because it’s the one thing in the world that everyone agrees on. Not the language, but the music notes, the counting and the lettering is the same anywhere in the world you go. That way we can all sing together. Singing releases my anger, my hurt, and my sadness and filters me. Music takes me to my own world and I always have a song in my head. Music has had a huge influence on my life and it will continue to influence the things I do and the decisions I make. Disney movies and their songs really took a hold of me. I can’t remember one time in life that I didn’t like them. For a couple of my birthdays, my parents got me ‘Disney’s Greatest’ soundtracks. I took out the book of lyrics out and memorized their songs, even though I hardly needed to. We have a video of me singing ‘Provincial Life’ from ‘Beauty and the Beast’. I sing through the whole thing and I do everything Belle does in the movie. My dream has always been to be in a musical and be the star of a musical, although I’ve never been the star of a musical let alone been in a play. What inspired me to want to do plays were Disney movies because I had so much fun just watching them and singing along to all their songs. I could still sing them all the way through and sing them loud and proud. I could really hold a note and the bigger I’m getting, the longer I am learning to hold them. I’ve tried out for about four plays and I didn’t get into any of them. I’m starting to think that they are just not for me. I’m too scared to sing in front of people; plus I know being in plays take a lot of your time
