Why Are Choir Important To Society

Improved Essays
Ever since I was a little girl, my dad and I had this saying before I got

dropped off for school, "Dare to be great! Don't be average!" I kept those

words in mind with everything that I decided to pursue in school, whether it be

choir, AP classes or clubs. That being said, when I pushed myself to be the

best that I could be, I was able to immerse myself into activities and learn

multiple lessons from each of them.

When I registered for middle school, I randomly chose show choir as my elective

because it seemed the most interesting out of my limited choices. At the time,

I did not know that show choir would become something so important in my life.

To this day, as a senior in high school, I am still involved in show choir, and

I can't imagine how my

I have learned how to make a choir filled with people that

don't know each other well come together and become a family, especially

because I am now the president of my choir. As president, I learned on my own

of how to be a good leader. Show choir has taught me the importance of

communication, optimism, and eloquence for group settings. On top of all that,

it truly showed me what commitment is about. Choir has rehearsals at least

once a week, and when competition season or show time comes around, rehearsals

can be as long at six hours a night. Even with all the hard work, I committed

myself to choir because it was important to me.

During the lunch club fair of my freshman year of high school, I was slightly

overwhelmed by the many clubs offered at school. Once I found Key Club, I knew

that it was the club for me. Key Club serves the community, which is something

I enjoy doing. Whenever I help people out, I feel so much happier because I

feel like if I am making at least one person smile, I am making a difference.

It has taught me about selflessness, awareness of others, and gratitude for

    My first memory at North Carolina Governor’s School West is of crying next to my parents on a bench under a giant tree. It was move-in day for the five-and-a-half-week session, and I was already sure that they would be the worst weeks of my life. I was terrified; I knew no one except two students from my high school, who were rising juniors and to whom I had never spoken before. After that stressful first day, I fell asleep unsure of how I could make it on my own in a place filled with such talented, intelligent, and unfamiliar people. A week later, I knew that Governor’s School would be one of the most treasured experiences of my entire life.…

    Personally, I think my constant strive to be better at what I love to do says a lot about me and shows my determination. My parents have always said the talent will only get you so far and that hard work and dedication is what will get you all the way. Being a part of theater for about 5 years now has also taught me a lot about empathy and working as a team. Learning how to embody and live as someone else for just a little while has made me a more empathetic person outside of the theater and made me more understanding to those who live differently than I do or have different beliefs and values. Rehearsing and performing with the same group of people for 4 weeks to even a few months can bring people quite close.…

    Failure is not characterized by what is lost, but instead by the lessons one learns from the experience. An area of my life in which I’ve faced many struggles has been music. Ever since a young age, I have been truly passionate about music; from singing, to dancing, to playing piano and percussion. Nothing makes me happier than succeeding in something I care about, but often it is extremely difficult to achieve musical honors due to the exceptionally talented competition. Two years in a row, I failed to make the Iowa All-State Chorus.…

    An elderly woman who got to take part in a high school community service project states, “Many think that volunteering is all about what you give. But what catches you by surprise is how much you receive in return.” This demonstrates why many people do not feel that they should give back because they do not believe the benefits that they can get from it as well. Consequently, when creating that feeling of happiness and satisfaction in someone else’s life, it comes back to the person creating it. Volunteering to help someone get tutored, help the handicapped, involve themselves with a program like Meals on Wheels, certain environmental work, etc., not only does one gain from that, but one’s community has been helped because of them.…
