Statement Of Purpose: Show Choir

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been very passionate about music. I started singing in the Church choir when I was in kindergarten and took guitar and piano lessons. However, I didn’t realise how important music was to me until last year. I auditioned for the middle school Show Choir in seventh grade, but I didn’t get in. I decided I wasn’t going to pursue choir as an elective in school anymore, but by some stroke of luck I was put into a regular choir class the next year. Most likely this was because there was no other class for me to be in, but I’m grateful my schedule worked out this way. I was able to rediscover my love for singing and learn about basic music theory, which has led me to my desire to audition for the high school Show Choir.

Knowing me, I’m still going to be a nervous wreck. But that’s okay! I want to push myself out of comfort zone so I can grow as a singer and be involved in more music programs. I feel so accepted at the Arts Academy; this seems like a great place to start. This year, I’ve also discovered my passion for Jesus and my desire to spread His love. My mission is to display the Fruits of the Spirit and try to become more like Him. This means being patient, kind, and having the self control to bite my tongue and not start arguments. I’m not always as successful as I hope, but I desire to thrive in my faith and be the best person I can be. I’m choosing to work with others, be understanding, and respect each and every member of
