Statement Of Purpose: Show Choir
Ever since I can remember, I’ve been very passionate about music. I started singing in the Church choir when I was in kindergarten and took guitar and piano lessons. However, I didn’t realise how important music was to me until last year. I auditioned for the middle school Show Choir in seventh grade, but I didn’t get in. I decided I wasn’t going to pursue choir as an elective in school anymore, but by some stroke of luck I was put into a regular choir class the next year. Most likely this was because there was no other class for me to be in, but I’m grateful my schedule worked out this way. I was able to rediscover my love for singing and learn about basic music theory, which has led me to my desire to audition for the high school Show Choir. …show more content…
For instance, auditions give me the worst anxiety. I can handle performing, but I have backed out of so many things because I was afraid to try out for them. Show Choir has given me a different idea about auditions. Several members have told me there’s really positive energy and it feels like it more of a rehearsal. Knowing me, I’m still going to be a nervous wreck. But that’s okay! I want to push myself out of comfort zone so I can grow as a singer and be involved in more music programs. I feel so accepted at the Arts Academy; this seems like a great place to start. This year, I’ve also discovered my passion for Jesus and my desire to spread His love. My mission is to display the Fruits of the Spirit and try to become more like Him. This means being patient, kind, and having the self control to bite my tongue and not start arguments. I’m not always as successful as I hope, but I desire to thrive in my faith and be the best person I can be. I’m choosing to work with others, be understanding, and respect each and every member of

    Despite the fact that I, Maggie McCormick, am not the most talented musician out of my fellow sopranos, I believe that I should be permitted to attend the choral festival because it would help me to grow as a musician, it would be a great opportunity for me to develop greater bonds with my fellow attendees, and it would be a fantastic learning experience to hear the way each choir from the southeast sounds.…

    The fourth through eighth grade choristers enter onto the risers on the stage in organized rows, hands at their sides, shoulders back and aligned with nervous smiles across their faces. This is the students first time being adjudicated The auditorium is full of other students, teachers, and adjudicators from around the city ready to hear the product of weekly after school rehearsals throughout the school year. The chorus director looks around the auditorium and counts five former music instructors and the nostalgia of being that fourth-eighth grader on stage with those instructors floods the director's mind. She smiles, bows to the audience, turns, and gives a reassuring thumbs up to the bright, developing musicians in front of her.…

    When it comes to my career path I have always wanted to work with children but as I got older I developed a great passion for music. Music has always been around me, my dad was a big music buff. Since my father’s passing I feel like I have a special connection to him when I sing and listen to music. I’ve always been shy when it came to singing in front of an audience until I began going to Bethune-Cookman University. While I was enrolled there I joined a band and was singing in a local lounge every weekend and I loved it! Once I moved back home and enrolled in Georgia State I felt it was time to break out of my shell and truly begin to perform.…

    Several years ago I graduated from high school and entered community college to start my studies for pre-med, but as I grew closer to graduation I saw the challenges in this career path. Then, I decided to change the major to Nursing in order for my credits to transfer from premed and make years spent in college less than in the Premed program. Both careers are highly competitive and honored in all countries of this world. My main goal is to join a profession that will help me interact with people and show people Christ’s love for all humankind through myself. It’s a blessing to help people with their problems and be by their side when they need it as God does in our lives. So, now I having difficulties with standing with my decisions and believing that I will overcome these failures. I want my purpose in life to follow with what God wants me to do and not feel pressured by family or society. There are times in my life when I feel hopeless and abandoned by everyone. I want to stay strong, but my emotions take over me and cause me emotional distress. This allows me to lose faith and trust in God when nothing seems to be going the way I want in life.…

    Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve observed people playing music around me. My family is musically inclined, which I believe is the reason I’ve been drawn to it. In 2006, I began taking guitar lessons but I never had much interest in playing. Things changed in 2009, and I wished to be different. I wanted to be good at something so I began to teach myself guitar and have stuck with the guitar until now. In 2010, I began to play on my church’s worship team and I enjoyed it very much. I have now been a worship leader for the past four years and it’s something I love to do. I love it so much that for the past two years I have gone to Camp Electric to improve my skills. Camp Electric is a rock and roll music camp where musicians pick an instrument and they participate in workshops with that instrument. This camp is filled with people who love music and who love playing music. I have such a passion for playing that I have begun teaching guitar lessons and now I am expressing music with my patients in order to achieve a goal.…

    To show you how much I appreciate your support over the years is by writing this letter. My favorite things I have done in high school are musicals and plays.

FCCLA stands for family career community leaders of America. For FCCLA I did a star event which made me a little more confident in speaking in front of large groups of people. I have been in National Honor society for all four years of high school.…

    Immediately wanting to join the band, I knew the only obstacle in my way would be convincing my parents. After all, neither one of them is musical in any way. At dinner that night, it was obvious that they were skeptical and not too keen on the idea of hearing the banging of a drum set in their home, but they ultimately gave me the chance to pursue this new-found passion. At that time, none of us could have imagined the impact that this decision would have on my life moving forward.…

    Like many, I could use this opportunity to brag about my academic or extracurricular achievements, but in doing so I would be omitting a defining factor of my life thus far-anxiety. While not completely aware of it, I have spent a majority of my highschool career in a state of constant anxiety. Similar to others who suffer from generalized anxiety disorder, I am prone to feeling overwhelmed when making decisions or presenting myself in communal settings. As a result, I found myself overwhelmed and struggling with the start of secondary school. My disquieted tendencies made me wary of expanding my comfort zone, in turn stunting my own personal growth over the past few years. Subsequently, I have spent a long time attempting to beat my anxiety.…

    Every “blue day” at the York High School begins with my block one class: Chorus. I cannot say that Chorus has been one of my favorite classes, or even a class a specifically liked, however I can say that I have learned lessons that I will worship forever. I realize that I have been given the opportunity to grow musically, but for me this class was much more. I often thought of this class as a course that was required, but when stories were shared, and observations were collected in my mind, I realized that this class was so much more. I learned the importance of trying new things and always giving myself the ability to grow.…

    Now that I am in high school, I joined choir to sing to my grandma who died before seeing how well we achieved and how far we came in life. Because I’m so closed up and isolated from others I tend to write songs expressing my voice, telling how I feel inside; something I’ve never experiences until I got to high school. Not often do I get confident to sing in front of a crowd of people but because of her I would sing in front of a million people to inspire them.…
