844 Words4 Pages

I will start by asking the audience here a question, “Do you have a talent?” Please raise your hand if you do. Any talent. Singing, dancing, drawing… Water bottle flipping is also a talent! . For those who did not raise their hand, why do you think so? Why did you think that you don’t have a talent? But Brenda Ueland’s famous quote says that: “Everybody is talented because everybody who is human has something to express.”, meaning we all have a talent, but if you still can’t figure it out what is yours, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have one.

It was a fairly cold …show more content…

For those who doesn’t know what a hologram is, it is a three-dimensional image formed by the interference of light beams from a laser or other light sources . It was very interesting and beautiful at the same time. At that moment I was like “in love” with the hologram and stayed there for about 10 minutes, looking at it and reading the information on the information panels! But then I had to move on. After the hologram, we went to a humongous brain model. We can go inside the model and see how the brain works and which parts did what. I was once again surprised and stunned! You can probably tell how I felt, can’t you? Sadly, after few more looks at the models and simulators, we had to go home. And what happen next will shock you. I went straight to my computer researching about holograms, brain cells and the solar system and I printed my research papers and pin them on the wall of my room so I can work on it whenever I’m in my room! Then, my parents realized that I have a great passion in science and had supported me ever since. But I did not want it to stop in “PASSION”, I wanted it to keep on going so I stepped one step further by joining a competition (I also completely forgot the

It was so hard watching people around me find their gift, like my sister. My little sister is good at about anything art related. She can draw, play the flute, and if she ever did theatre she would probably be good at that too.

    Marching band; copious amounts of people scoff at the sound of those words. I often hear students commenting on how easy marching band is, how we don’t train like the football players do. At Anderson High School, that’s not the case, the marching band trains for just as long. As a band of over 125 individuals, it takes determination, pride, and confidence to achieve the goals we have set forth to accomplish. As a leader of the saxophone section, I know what it’s like to face failure, to overcome and turn it into success and to march on with confidence.

After overhearing me singing, my mom encouraged me to get involved in musical theater. Just the thought of getting up in front of anyone terrified me.

    I have always been a particularly musical person. When I was younger, I wanted to become a singer when I grew up, but upon joining the choir in elementary I realized I did not have the talent for singing that I thought I had. Continually singing off key and never sounding as good as my peers did, I decided to confine myself to singing at home where only my family could hear me. Despite this revelation that I was, in fact, a terrible singer, I still wanted to participate in some type of musical performance and decided to join the band in middle school. After trying out various different instruments, I settled on the flute and quickly fell in love.
