Music in Me

         Ever since I was little, one thing has always been constant-my love for music. Whenever I would wake up from a bad dream, I would run to my mom and beg her to sing me to sleep. There was one small problem though, if my mom would sing to me any typical nursery rhyme, I would sing along with her. She ended up singing to me in French to get me to calm down and go back to sleep. From then on music was a huge part of my life. When I was in fourth grade, my mom enrolled me in the Livingston Parish Children's Chorus. I had just started public school and was trying to find where a I fit in because I was missing my old friends at private school. By being in choir I found myself and a true love for music. I then joined band in junior high and started playing the flute. Ever since then I look forward to going to band class to play music with others. If I've had a really bad day, all I have to do is pick up my flute and start to play. Like magic all my problems go away. Knowing I have a way to escape everything for just a few hours, I feel happier. My music is what I can't live without.
