DECIDE I've always wanted to sing my own songs, ever since I was a little. COMMIT The Show Choir loud and I take out my music, quiet in a classroom full of noise as I wait for my teacher to start class. She does, after a couple of attempts for quiet (a lost cause in my opinion) and in the still chaotic classroom announces, "We will be having a concert and people are allowed to try out for solos..." People are talking, people are laughing, people are yelling-but I can't hear them. There's a rush in my ears and a single voice screams out to me yelling, "DO IT!" It's coming from my heart. SUCCEED. "You're up next," the Sound guy says with raised eyebrows, "You ready?" No. My hands are shaking. My hearts about to explode. I can't do it. But when he asks, I say yes anyway.
