When I was younger, I was in my church choir. I was the youngest person in the choir, so it was a lot of fun. I was always being praised for the hard work I put into singing and the music honestly made me feel good. After I moved to North Carolina, I stopped participating in the activities I did when I was younger, so the singing stopped.<br \/>\nIn eighth grade, I decided it was time to sing again. I joined the middle school chorus and had a lot of fun with new friends. It was like I rediscovered my passion for it. Ever since, I&#8217;ve been practicing different songs and even singing for some local programs.<br \/>\nI know that I have a lot to improve on but that will not stop me. Music in general helps me when I need it to the most and I won&#8217;t accept help from anyone. Music and singing isn&#8217;t for everyone but I know it sure did help me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/youthnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/11.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/youthnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/11-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1125\" srcset=\"http:\/\/youthnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/11-300x200.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/youthnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/11-768x512.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/youthnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/11-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/youthnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/11-560x373.jpeg 560w, http:\/\/youthnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/11-260x173.jpeg 260w, http:\/\/youthnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/11-160x107.jpeg 160w, http:\/\/youthnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/11.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thing I really love to do is sing.
