576 Words3 Pages

As an adolescent I tended to be very discreet and shy at times, especially around girls my age. Overall I was a very awkward child. While attending a coed elementary school at Monroe it was very intimidating. There were girls that were always trying to talk to me and I just wasn’t sure how to react to the situation. I went home several days telling my parents that I needed to move schools. So, for about two years, I attended Eden Grove middle school.

Not to be surprised, music has emerged as another, perhaps indirect, avenue for me to communicate with others. Singing allows me to open up and share my personal emotions with others.

When acting, I am transformed, feeling the happiness, sadness, impishness, or even confusion that my character brings to me. Music is a very special form of communication for me.
Perhaps the person I am today is a compensation for who I was years ago. The awkwardness that stood of me, however, is no more. Now I want to show the world what I can do! Communication has become my passion. Communication will be my

    Heinrich Heine once said, “when words leave off, music begins.” These words are the illumination for my sought out career. When the audience cannot react to the emotions that the actors attempt to portray in a film, I want my music to bridge the connection of a viewer and the atmosphere of the film. I saw my favorite band, Florence And The Machine, in the summer of 2016. I found myself in a room full of people who could escape reality with the simple act of playing a song.
