389 Words2 Pages

I have always felt self-conscious in front of large groups ever since that incident in second grade, where I fell face first on to the floor during a stage performance. Oh no, is it happening all over again? I felt my whole world spin around me as I walked up to the center of the stage for our last individual performances in our junior high life. May 25th, 2012; that was the date shown on my white, bulky watch as I inched closer to the mic stand; I just wanted it to end already. Music has always been a means of escape to the fears I had in society. The lyrics in the songs would connect personally to heart. That was why I joined chorus, to openly express my emotions and embrace the love of speaking my mind. I adjusted the stand to head level

    Standing on the dark stage, I took deep, slow breaths to calm my nerves. My stomach did somersaults and my hands shook. Fidgeting with my pink peasant top and ankle length yellow floral skirt, I made eye contact with my fellow actors.

    I chose this dance because it seemed like a true ballet dance. While I was looking for a clip I came across countless dances that were “mixed genres” such as, contemporary ballet and lyrical ballet. This dance is also very beautifully unique, the way the dancer makes her positions clear(1:16), how she uses her limbs to her long limbs to her advantage, and how her movements progressively get faster with the song make this dance unique .

    It happened on June 11, 2015. My lacrosse team won our regional quarter final game the previous day—I scored my personal best of five goals and was named Player of the Game. As a reward for the win, my coach gave us a three hour practice the next day that was strictly conditioning—leaving the seniors 30 minutes to go home, shower, change, and drive to our Senior Dinner at Bowdoin College.

  • Can Music Save Your Life Analysis

    Younger generations are inseparable from their headphone but when asked about music, they become soundless and grow distant. In “Can Music Save Your Life,” college professor Mark Edmundson describes his studies of how music affects the mind and concludes that music makes the generation feel like their voices are heard through the lyrics. He believes that people use music to escape our fears, reality, and to soothe ourselves. When individuals listen to a specific song that opens a door in their minds, they tend to listen to the song repeatedly until it has no effect anymore and the door closes. Music makes people search further into themselves and they begin to flourish through every lyric, every note, and every instrument played in the song.
