            I remember when I first decided to join the choir. My mom had 21  it to me several times before,but I never thought I would actually join.22 inside of me clicked,however,on a September day in 2010. I was in the 23 with my mother when a woman whose daughter was in the choir started 24 us. The woman suggested I 25 ,and for some reason I still don^，t know,I was 26  and told my mother that when she drove me back.

             During the days leading up to my audition for the choir I was very 27 . My worst fear was singing in front of someone I didn't  know. I had many,many 28 . about auditioning,but I knew I couldn^，t back down. I was shaking when I first started 29  for the director of the choir,but I 30 to get through the song. To my 31  , I was accepted. Immediately,my 32  grew.

             I believe that being a 33  of the choir helped me greatly with the transition into high school. That summer,I learned that I had been 34  into the advanced choir.

             In high school,I’ ve become a monitor and a risk taker,and I absolutely credit that to my 35  with the choir. T ve become a much more social person,and 36 I still have shy sides to my personality,I'm  able to overcome them.

             Auditioning for the choir and 37 are the first true feeling of 38 I’ve had in life. I am 39 of myself for one of the first times. It is the 40 thing V ve ever done,and it has opened up so many doors in the area of performing arts and in the rest of my life.
