3B Motivational Singer

Singing is the one thing in my life that I always have time for. I don’t care if I have three papers due the next day. I have to go to a practice room every single day at least once and sing. I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember. When I was 2 years old I took a mommy and me music class. They said I was so advanced that I could be in a class with a bunch of three year olds. Consequently every time I went to the three year old class I would fall asleep because it was the time of day when I would normally take a nap.  Music and singing is something that just came naturally to me.

            I do have to work at my craft of singing. I am pretty sure that there is no one on this planet that always sings perfectly on key for every single note all the time without his or her voice cracking. I know there are people in this world that have perfect pitch but they still have to work at that craft.  I have struggled over the years as my voice has changed and become the voice that it is today. But since I have never really cared if I have a crappy day of singing I just keep going. I may laugh at myself and think wow that was awful but I never give up on it.

            I need to be able to motivate myself like this in college. In college if I do something wrong I always feel down on myself. Like if I fail a test and I worked really hard and studied my butt off trying to ace it I am going to be disappointed. I may not want to work as hard because of it. I need to be able to have the mindset like I do with singing to keep going and keep achieving as a student.

            I really need to think about my schoolwork like this. I was student of the month February of 2012 at my vocal studio. I was also a nominee for artist of the year. I achieved these things by working so hard as a musician. I think being in college is a bit like that. Instead of being nominated for artist of the year I feel the end goal is getting my degree and getting into the masters program for communication disorders. This is a challenging thing to do. It is definitely not as easy to do as singing. But if I keep the mindset of singing in my mind I can achieve this great goal.
