Choir

I was taught about God through my parent, bible and church. I realized my sinful nature when I attended high school. I started to rebel and hang out with the wrong crew. I was skipping school. I was even attending church, I was an usher and a choir member. I was simply attending church because my parents made me. When I turned a legal age, I was still attending church, merely not as often. At the age of 20, I planned nightlife events for celebrities and big groups. As my company grew, I…

In the book Lord of the Flies, two prominent leaders (Jack and Ralph) are in a power struggle. In the novel it is clear that Ralph is the better person but can you really say he is the best leader. If you think about it Jack has a gift that allows him to manipulate others to do what he wants which can be good for a leader. Jack also changes what he uses this gift for throughout the book. Jack starts as an English boy wanting to gain power and became a leader of savages. Jack is represented as…

I joined the soccer team, girl scouts, orchestra, volleyball, choir, show choir, and JOOI club. Even with the added pressures through my school career, I still managed to keep the good grades and be the good kid my parents wanted me to be. It seemed to my parents that the pressure never bothered me, though that was never…

is an amazing and intelligent student. While we were in middle school he was enrolled in all advanced courses and he put the work and dedication into them to maintain a high grade point average. It was very odd if he missed an assignment. Even in choir he was often one of the first people to finish the assignments given to him. Being able to maintain grades while still being in a variety of activities and clubs, these are the things that prove his intelligence to me today. The amount of things…

To begin, the sheep on the Island of Sheep and the Island of the Three Choirs serve as allegorical Christ figures. When the men reach the Island of Sheep on Maundy Thursday, Brendan declares that they must “sacrifice the Spotless Victim to God” to celebrate the Paschal feast (O’Meara 15). Once the sacrificial sheep is selected…

athletics and parades were my favorite thing. Today I am a three sport athlete, with varsity letters in tennis, basketball and football. I have participated in high school politics, I was the sophomore class Vice President. I am a member of concert choir, who performs regularly for the community. I am also in the Drama three class in my high school, in which we write and create our own play to perform for the community…

My alarm went off and I jumped out of bed! Today was the day that I was going to Valleyfair with my choir! After throwing my hair in a ponytail, sliding on sandals and putting my contacts in, I was ready to hit the road. I grabbed my sunglasses and hopped in the truck with Sarah. We were off to Mrs. Holmstrom's house. The sun was hot, the air was sticky and we were ready for a good time. Crammed into the little mini van packed like a can of sardines, we hit the road. As we drove down the highway…

We go a majority of our lives believing that even the people we think we know best are not capable of evil, but what we don't understand is that evil comes from within, and everyone has it deep in them to release their inner savagery.A well known novel, Lord of the Flies portrays this perfectly.The title “Lord of the Flies” refers to “beelzebub”, another word for “The devil”. This was a novel written by George Orwell published in 1954. This story explores a much darker side of humanity that…

Youth’ describes the slaughtered young men who ‘die as cattle’. Owen expresses his anger in a set of contrasts between a real funeral and the lack of a funeral for these young men. For example, instead of a service with a choir, they only have ‘the shrill demented choirs of wailing shells’. As you would expect, the tone and mood of both poems is deeply serious as Owen has a strong message in both of them. However, they are different. ‘Dulce et decorum Est’ expresses a great deal of…

Midnight Special auditions were in the late August of 2016, and the pressure was monumental. The people who made it into Midnight Special were the best of all singers in the school. Therefore, I saw these auditions as a way to prove to myself and others of my talent for singing. I thought of the auditions as a self-discovery, but ended up ripping my soul out-- for a while. My thoughts varied in the spectrum from moderate confidence to torturous worry and fear. The most prominent fear I was…
