Many people enjoy listening to music. For some, it helps them focus on a certain task, for others it helps distract them from their thoughts and then some people just listen because they want to. No matter what reason we listen to music, most people can agree that it makes us feel something special.

One sunny day, Elizabeth was at her basketball game shooting around. The team went into the huddle. “Whose starting?” Mia asked. Coach said,“You, Morg, Kolby, Krystal, and Elizabeth.” Both teams went onto the court to start the game. The ref blew the whistle and threw the ball up into the air. Kolby tipped it to Elizabeth. She went down the court and scored. The teams went back and forth like that scoring. The score was already 20-15, the other team ahead. We had the ball and Elizabeth…
