My Freshman Year

     I have had a very exciting Freshman year! Of all the great memories I've experienced this year my favorite memories come from show choir. Being in show choir has affected me greatly this year. I've made close friends and grown as a person because of it. The best thing about being in show choir are the competitions. This year we competed in Alabama, at Belmont, and in Ohio. My favorite competition would have to have been Alabama. So many wonderful memories were made at my first show choir competition! It was a great experience seeing other choirs and getting to perform in front of professional judges. My best memory from Freshman year would have to be the Alabama show choir competition.
     I have also learned many important things during this school year. I have learned that sometimes people are not always nice. I have learned that some people enjoy talking poorly about others- behind their back's. From experiencing that this year I have learned that you cannot let what other people say about you bother you. No matter what other people say, you are who you are. You should be able to be yourself without worrying about what others might say about you.
     There is a lot of advice that I could give to upcoming Freshmen concerning their Freshman year. My first piece of advice would be to get to know other people. My Freshman year was absolutely fantastic mostly because of the people I shared it with. I think that it is important to get to know upperclassmen. I would encourage any upcoming Freshmen to get to know people not just in your grade. Another piece of advice I would give would be to become involved. I would encourage becoming involved in a sport, in the arts, or in student council. By doing this you can meet new people and discover something new that you love doing. A final piece of advice I would give is to listen to God. God is constantly working in your life and you can do fantastic things through him. Freshman year was an exceptional year for me.
