I recently became the new youth choir director at my church,
Airline Baptist Church. With starting my mentorship this week at Airline, I've
already learned quite a bit just from planning and sorting things for youth
choir. I've learned to compromise, organize, and be on task and take a stand. I
had to quickly learn what's the best way to set up MY particular choir and how
we should go about practice (times, procedures, etc). Overall, I am overjoyed
with excitement with my new role. In my preparation for starting choir this
week, I arranged a song using noteflight.com for us to start singing in the
near future. The minister of music at Airline (aka my boss and uncle) and his
wife (aka my aunt and his assistant that keeps him on track) have helped me set
up and start this glorious opportunity. Working with them is going to be a joy
and exciting as I get to learn new things with Mike and Janice.
And on to college. I have a tiny, fantastically wonderful
story to tell about a college I visited last Thursday. I got to sit down with
people at the Winshape Foundation, the admissions office, and the music staff
at Berry College. It was an awesome opportunity to express my interest in
attending Berry in my future. I've been looking at this particular college for
a while now and it is nothing but awesome. I fear applying, as the competition
is fierce but I am fully confident and know that I am capable of achieving
greatness whether or not I get to attend Berry in particular. Applying can be
quite stressful but it's unique and an awesome way to see your own life unfold.
