Recommended: The effects of music on behavior

I participated in Summer Show Offs for two years, before my sophomore and junior year of high school in Auburn. The counselors and camp itself really helped me emerge out of my shell by preforming songs out of my comfort zone. The constant encouragement and upbeat attitudes from my counselors for sure made an impact on the experience of SSO. Through the summers I attended, I learned how to express who I truly am through song and dance, the camp introduced something to me that I would end up loving.

Music has SUCH an impact on performers and an audience, and to me

I don’t really like listening to normal music with no instruments. When there are instruments and no words it’s like you get to add the meaning to the song. When I play my instrument I feel like I’m sending a small message and contributing to the overall message the whole band wants the audience to hear. Music means a lot to me I can’t say it’s my world yet because I have a long way to getting

Baseball is what many call “America’s Pastime”. It is the game that never fails to bring me from the highest highs to the lowest lows. The second that you think you are the best, the game will humble you. When you are at a loss for confidence, you will do something amazing that will turn your game around. Nothing beats the smell of the spring air, the dirty pants, the laughs with teammates and the glory of winning.

I reached out to my high school’s summer school program last summer and volunteered as a tutor for the majority of the summer.

Called the Summer Academy, the summer school program was designed to help new immigrant students receive an academic boost before the school year began.

“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything” (Plato). If my childhood was filled with anything: it was imagination. From my earliest memories of my cousin, and I putting on a sold out concert on my papaw’s front porch; to putting my baby dolls to sleep with lullabies. Music has always been a big part of my life: it was the one thing I could always count on, no matter where I went; and that still stands true today.
