Box 12

My Efforts
  • The Best voice teacher at Ball State
  • Tons of friends
  • A Performing Arts Scholarship from my High School
  • Getting to skip my first 2 years of piano

No Effort

  • My family owns a piano
  • My family owns several televisions
  • The opportunity to go on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico
  • A car
  • My parents can afford my college tuition
  • I live in a free country
  • I live in a democracy- I have input in my government
  • A good singing voice
  • I went to a great High School
  • My parents could afford to get me instruments and reeds for playing oboe.
  • I look young for my age which doesn't help me now, but later on I will be thankful for.

I consider myself to be a very privileged person. Some of it is from hard work and dedication, but a lot of it comes from my luck of being born in a free country, full of opportunity, and having middle class parents with steady jobs that are able to support me. I was born into a good home and a good family. My parents can afford to send me to college without me having to pay my way through. I was lucky to be born in America where I have input into my government. I have the freedom to follow whatever religion I please. This is important because I was able to learn and hear about Christianity from my parents and church, and because my country supports me in my decision I am more likely to stick with what I believe without fear. I am a vocal performacnce major, but this was made easy because I was born with a beautiful voice. A lot of hard work has also gone into creating the sound I have now, but I wouldn't be able to sound this way if I wasn't born with that talent.
