I Love You

My music teacher was always amused by me and Margarita's singing. We always had fun singing, Honey, Honey by ABBA at home. Singing was my talent. However, I felt a little nervous for the concert that my teacher planned for all of her amazing students. My sister, Margarita felt that we were both completely ready for the concert but I didn't so comfortable. I started doubting myself. While I was singing in front of my teacher she had a huge smile on her face, and her body swaying back and forth until she saw me. She asked, "What's wrong?"
I said, "I'm not really sure about the concert. I don't think I will do good!"
She replied, "It's okay, when I was about to perform for the first time I felt nervous, and kept on saying, "I'm going to mess up, I'm going to mess up!" Then I got up on stage and I felt like the stage was my home! You are going to be fine. Just remember to smile, and move around that always helps!"
I still felt unconfident in myself. I followed my teachers advise on smiling, and moving around but every second of practice I felt the same way. The next practice was a little better. I felt a little more confident in myself than I usually did. I started singing with my sister, we had fun, and nothing was more special than that, "It was a sister moment". As I started singing my solo I started rocking out to the beat of the song. Swinging my body back and forth. My teacher was proud of us, especially me. My sister said, "That was awesome! I wish I can bust a move like that!" I started laughing. With my teachers expression, she seemed incredibly surprised by me. Finally, the day ended. As I was going to bed I felt more confident in myself!
It was a the day of the concert! Ring! Ring! My alarm clock went off! I ...

...I knew it wasn't the right thing to do. I looked at my sister and she sang my solo. No one knew it was planned, it just happened. It was the end of the song. I ran off stage, behind me was my sister. I couldn't thank her enough for saving me out there. It was like no ever noticed.
Finally it was the end of the show. I changed with my sister while my parents waited us in the crowd. I ran to them. I said, "I think we did a great job! It's okay if I messed! I learned something. My sister will have my back, and support me. I love her!" My parents replied, "You looked stunning out on stage! Were glad that you didn't make a big deal out of this. You took this experience, and turned it into a lesson! That is all we could ever ask." they both gave me a kiss. I ran to my sister. I gave her a huge hug, and kiss and said, "I love you more than anyone in this whole wide world!"

    In addition to this, during a certain part of my monologue, the audience laughed and I did not expect that. As an actor I need to be aware that there will be moments like these and still be able to stay in character and continue on with the same dedication. After my performance, I was surprised by the feedback that I got from the class. The comments lifted my spirits about my performance and prompted me to trust the choices that I make in future performances. Yes, there is definitely room for improvement, but overall, I am pleased with

  • Fine Arts Programs Should Be Kept in Schools

    Performing or public speaking of any kind is difficult, but that difficulty can help to build confidence. Fine arts gives students the ability to perform and build confidence with their own support team of people who do and love the same thing. Not having to perform alone and knowing that everything possible has been done to ensure a good performance helps performers be confident in themselves and in their abilities. “Puneet Jacob, former choristers and current assistant conductor, says kids are often afraid to perform because of fear of failure.” (Lefebvre) The more a person faces their fear, especially when they do well and the fear is disproved, the less afraid he or she will become. When students work on music or a play for months on end, they become much more confident in themselves and what they can do than they were when they first began.

    As we continuously talked, the others continuously gave me dirty looks. When one of the damas yelled “Look it, now he’s trying to get at your cousin Marie”. They all laughed and made me and my partner feel uncomfortable. “The day of the fifteen is almost here and we still don't have all of the steps right” yells the choreographer. As we practiced that whole week for hours me and Jessica continued to talk, and the others continued to talk trash as if I weren’t there. The day of the fifteen came. After we finished the church, like most fifteens we went inside a limo. As we were in the limo Jessica sat next to me and we began to talk. As we continued to talk I felt the urge to put my arm around her (because we were squished) my urges became stronger and stronger until I finally did it; put my arm around her. To me that meant nothing a lot of friends put their arm around each other I thought, but the others thought otherwise. Time flew by while we were in the limo as if just a second ago we were in it and now the driver is dropping us off at the hall

She called me aside after that class to talk about how I could develop my Math skills. She also ...

  • What Is Confidence?

    1314 Words  | 3 Pages

    However, not everyone has the “confidence” on their own. In life, we still see those people who are shy, lack of courage in themselves, or prefer to rely on others, on their parents, and leading to a lack of skills and knowledge. Typically, a number of young people, despite stepping to adulthood, is still not engaging in the world. As a result, they have to live the dependent lives, and they are still clinging to their parents. Some people who lack of “confidence” do not dare to accept the challenges in their jobs to seek for opportunities. Recently, I have struggled with confidence in one of the most important aspects of my life: singing. With schoolwork, I feel completely confident in my work, but singing is a different story. Lately, I have been displeased and uncomfortable with my performances, instead of the ease that I used to practice in my rehearsals. After every mistake, I would get down on myself. It has been hard for me to find out how to gain and reach confidence. Through several talks from my vocal coaches, I finally believe that I am a good performer, and I cannot let pressure get to me. Moreover, I have learned that if one cannot believe in being able to do something, one will not do it. I am slowly building my confidence by believing in myself and trusting in my abilities. At the same time, we need to understand that not only “confidence” is not enough

    As the song continued, Ron began to dance a bit around the stage – interacting with his guitarist, bassist and drummer individually. They were all smiling and laughing as they played and sang – not so much as to ruin the music, of course, but enough that you could tell these were people who truly loved music and that they get to do it living. Following that were performances of some of the other tracks from his most recent album (at the time), “Calling off the Dogs.” Then it happened: the beginning chords to my favorite song of all time, “Fireflies.” I lost the ability to breathe for a moment. As the song played, I heard other people singing along just as loudly as I was – it made my heart swell to know that other people loved this song just as much as I do. I don’t know why that surprised me, really – all throughout the night, the entire audience had been screaming the lyrics along with him and moving their bodies to the beat of the
