Dreams Do Come True

I've always wanted to be a singer. Ever since I was little I dreamed of being famous and traveling the world exposing to world to what I love most. I never actually thought that dream would come true. I mean to be honest nobody thought so. They would think yeah she's really good, but it's not a very likely case. Hi. My name is Alise, and this is the story of how I became a singer. My journey has some ups and downs so be prepared.

Let me give you a little background information on how my love for music came to be. My dad plays piano, guitar, and the bass guitar. He plays in our church band so there is part of the constant music playing in my head. My mom sings. She is one of the reasons I love to sing. It comes so natural and I absolutely love it. My 3 cousins, Caroline and the twins (Audra and Anna) also love singing. And together, we sound amazing. We perform in front of family all the way to church congregations and I am the only one who doesn't get scared. I guess I'm a natural born performer. My life wouldn't be half as enjoyable without music. Life would honestly be boring.

Dum, dum, dum, dummm... Now I'm thirteen years old and I play the piano and write songs. I've never actually performed one of my originals but I would love a chance to! "Alise! Keep it down!" Screamed my little brothers Davis,11, and Bennett,9. They are more of the sports type but I'm pretty athletic too! I was center flyer for my school cheer team. "I have to practice!" I screamed back at them. I heard fast little foot steps coming towards my room and suddenly the door bursts open revealing the faces of Davis and Bennett. "Practicing for what?" Asks Davis. "In case something ever comes up. I need to be prepared and I want it to be perfect." I quietly say. They haven't exactly been super supportive of my dreams. "Oh" says itsy, bitsy Bennett. I turn towards them and say "That means y'all should be leaving." I softly push them out the door and look down at my sheets of music thinking to myself "Is this ever going to happen?"

Ding! I scramble to find my phone. 3 messages await for me. One from Ashley, one from Kamren, and one from... Jackson! Ashley and Kamren are some of my best friends but they don't exactly get along all to good. It's hard for me at times because I love them both but they don't like each other. Jackson is my closest guy friend ever. We would do everything together from preschool to about 2nd grade. Then his family moved to Tennessee, but now they are back! Which is good for me... I think. I might possibly have a crush on Jackson. I'm not sure yet because of how close we are but we will see what happens....
