Tralalala!

Why do I like choir so much? First of all I absolutely love singing, so I sing where ever I go. I sing songs that are stuck in my head out loud, I sing in the shower, and I sing in public when my friends are with me (very softly though). I just love singing; I suppose that is one the main reasons why I love choir so much. Another reason is that I love how I feel when I sing in a choir. The songs that we sing tells a story and we as a choir group tell stories through our songs in the most beautiful and happy way depending on the song. It doesn't matter how good you are in singing it matters if you sing from the heart and have a passion for what you are doing. Singing is basically my life, where ever I go or what ever I do I sing a song to make my day or work cheerful and more entertaining. When I sing it is as if the singing takes away some of my stresses in life and makes me calm and just think of others; either if the song is about a person or as I sing a song I think of someone in my life or myself and it makes me better understand some people and their situations. I will always keep on singing with spirit and love. ^.^

Rainstorms

I look out the window sitting at my computer watching the rain hit the pavement outside. The sky so gray and peace full floating up there like the clouds have no care in the world. I can here the soft patter of rain props tapping at my window. It seems as if I can smell the rain, smell the sweet mist of nature. A sudden boom fills the earth as if the Heavens are pounding on a great drum, then a beautiful aura of light flashes thought the sky. I feel as if I should run outside and dance underneath the clouds with my face facing upwards toward the Heavens and the Earth showing my love and respect for such a gift. Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel such a desire and love towards storms?
It seems like storms are a way for me to relax and enjoy such soothing sounds and colors. Sometimes I like sunny days, but stormy days are almost like a treat for me. When I smell the rain it makes me feel so warm and happy inside. I suppose I like rainy days because when it is a sunny day, the sun makes the sky so bright you can barely see and it is so hot; rainy days hides the brightness, so you can see outside and see the sky, and the rain and the clouds, hiding the sun, makes it so that it is nice and cool. Rainy days remind me of the beauties of the earth, how the leaves on the tree become greener and how right after a rain storm a magnificent rainbow with its many colors appears. When I talk to people about storms some of them say that they are scared of lighting and thunder or they feel sad and bored on a cloudy day. For me I look on the bright side of storms, like all of the loveliness it forms all around us and the sooth calmness of it all. I think of lightning and thunder as a light show with music; I think the lightning makes storms so pretty and pleasing to watch. I surely enjoy storms and appreciate them!

Why is change so hard?

Everyday we have beheld many changes through our lives, but many are hard to over come than others. This past year I made the decision to take Honors English for the first time. It is a hard class; you have to work hard and participate in ever class period. This change for me was hard because I was now in a class with smart and experienced students. I felt obligated and I lowered my self-confidence telling myself that I am no good. You see how this change has transformed me. Why is that? Change can always be a life changing experience like when a love one dies or when you win a thousand dollars. These changes can transform us for the better or the worse by the way that we think or act. Change is so hard to over come because we are so use to our normal routine and having such a drastic change confuses us to wonder if the change truly happened. Change alters our thinking of what is real or unreal. Like you might grow and learn by the change or you light become psychotic. We all dream of a perfect world with no conflicts or changes. With a drastic change we feel unreal to society because you are different and not sure who you are in your heart. Change is a hard thing to over come, but it happens to everyone, no one is perfect through there decisions or thoughts. We have to change in order to grow and become great people in this world.
