College Admissions Essay: How Music Changed My Life

Improved Essays
Throughout my life music has always been a type of escape. It has showcased itself in my life priorities and goals. I believe that my application would be incomplete without my take and experience on music, as it has became a huge part of who I am today.
Parents are suppose to brag to others about what their child accomplished in his or her early stages of life. Mine have always bragged about my singing, always claiming, "She will go far with her voice". I used to never pay any mind to it, but as the years have passed it has continued to hold true. My mother especially would courage me on. We have created memories between singing in car rides, to karaoke night, to even trying out for America's Got Talent together. She has been the main influence in my music decisions. I wouldn't even know how to sing or have learned all that I have if it weren't for her. Now all my dreams are to become a choral director for high school students so that I can show them they have a voice no matter the situation.

I would always answer, "a singer". Singing makes me feel good. It gives me a gateway to express how I feel. Being in choir for 5 years has further peaked my childlike interest of being a singer. My director, Mr. Goad, has helped influence my decision on being a choir director like himself. The joy he has doing his job and the joy he has given us as students makes me want to accomplish that with my own students one day. He has made an impact and connection with all of his students. Having that feeling and teaching what I love to do is my goal in life and I will do anything to accomplish that

    The bed mercilessly taunts my exhausted limbs to return but my determined heart persuades me to brave the trial by water once more. As I dive over the ice cold pool, dread and regret fill every moment until my body finally makes contact. For two, sometimes three, hours the situation will only worsen as I repeatedly raise my arms above my head and pull back as hard as possible. Weeks of this pass by, all for the sake of being able to travel through 100 meters of water a few milliseconds faster. Swimming has been my primary sport since the age of eight.…

    The heat from the stage lights, the watchful gazes of the audience, and the sweat dripping off of our faces as we struggle to remember our lines, these sensations of being on stage are what caused the performing arts to become not only an activity, but also a passion and an unexpected source of personal growth. Through my experiences in drama and music I have been able to discover my own meaning of fulfillment and define who the person behind my appearance truly is. My passion in the performing arts started when I was a young child first learning to play the violin. Picking up the violin at the age of 6, I became stuck on one of the most basic songs for almost a whole year. At that time no one believed that I could play the violin, my teacher thought that I was too hyperactive and even my mom attempted to convince me to quit.…

    For as long as I can remember, movies and television have been my escape. No matter what was going on in my life, I could always get lost in the fantastical adventures of Star Wars or even the mundane happenings in The Office. With each new story that I consumed, my mind created five more. For me, writing just started out as a way for me to clear all of these thought-tangents out of my head. I would keep random journals everywhere and just jot down whatever came to me throughout the day.…
