How Music Has Shaped My Life?
===Music has shaped my life in many ways. Ever since I was little, my mom always wanted me to be involved in music in some way. For instance, I have been in orchestra since I was in 3rd grade. Also, I’ve been singing before I could even talk. My love for music expanded when I was in 9th grade. One of my older sisters, Anna, told me they needed people in the pit for band. I was a little uneasy about it at first, but I finally decided to join the Marching Band as a pit member. I loved the band ever since. Because of all these great musical things happening to me, I got a lot of courage to try the musicals and straight shows in drama and I eventually loved it and I became a good actress. Now that I’m a junior in high school, I want to take it one step further and go to college for theatre performance or theatre management. I also always want to be involved in music for the rest of my days, if I can. In my eyes, you can have a passion for a sport or something physical, but when you get old enough that you can’t do those things anymore, you just won’t be able to do those things period and you’ll die unhappy. Music on the other hand, you can do for the rest of your life. I mean, I’ll be able to sing until the day I die or my voice gives out, whichever comes first. I can pat my thighs, like I have some kind of song in my head that has a great drum part in it. Now that I think about it, I can do just about anything I want if I always stay with music. In conclusion, I love music, it’s always been a part of my life and it’ll always shape my life until the day I die. I’ll never let music go.===
