My passion is singing. I love to sing, ever since I was a little girl I would sing with my grandmother and she would sing to me. I think more people should sing because it is something that you express different ideas with your voice. Some people are sopranos some are altos. The more you sing the more things you can find out about your voice.
The reason why I like to do singing so much is because I like to do the sight reading that usually goes along with singing. I know that sight reading may sound difficult, but as long as you are paying attention to what you are reading it should work out just fine. You probably will struggle the first few times but after that you will know that you have gotten better.
You really need to know how to read the type of music piecer you’r learning. If you don’t know how to read music pieces you might not be able to hit the right pitches. You might be thinking I am making singing sound difficult, but trust me once you start you won’t want to stop. You might even sing in the car every now and then. I love singing so much that I sing in the car a lot! Sometimes my dad has to tell me to quiet down because I sing and he’s trying to watch the news or the weather and he can’t here it.
Perhaps you are as passionate about singing as I am.

My passion is The Walking Dead the video game. You use the character Lee Everett, that’s my favorite game because the game is based on zombies, I like zombies, you have to make choices I sometimes like to make choices but not dangerous ones.This game has the rating of nine point five out of ten thats amazing.
The Walking Dead is not like the show. The game is a lot different but some characters are in the show. The Walking Dead was written by TellTale games. This game has inspired me to be a game creator when I get older because I want other people to try it and enjoy the game But other games have inspired me but this game inspired me more.
I know how I’m gonna do this I’m going to finish school go to college to work on my computer skills, and want to become successful in life. While creating a game I want to work on the graphics and sound, all of that to create a game.

I love music very much, especially singing. People say I always have a song In my heart. I would love to be a popular singer. My group name would be Pelievers. I want my music to reach out to people and touch them greatly. On every Saturday night people would gather around to hear my friends and I sing and dance. We would have an amazing party. Someday I would love to be on American Idol, and maybe even the X-Factor. I hope all of this comes true.
To help me singing I want to be a worship leader at a church. I love God and I know that he will help me make my singing well.
Here at school I am in chorus and show choir. In chorus we sing Exadulta-Dao, Hashi Va Nu, and Angels Among Us. In show choir we have a competition on Thursday February 28 in Houlton and we start at 3:50.1 really hope that we do great and go to States in Ellsworth. I love to sing and I hope that I will have a great experience in everything that includes music.

My passion is swimming. I love swimming because its a fun sport. Swimming is a lot of exercise for the entire body. Swimming requires lots of pulls (ann movements) and kicks (leg movements). It’s good to know how to swim for safety reasons, for example if you accidentally fall into some water.
Swimming is my favorite sport because it’s a fun way to cool off in the summer and it’s fun to relax and float around the pool. I love being in the water, I like swimming in the ocean, in a lake, and in a pool. Ever since I was 2 or 3 years old I’ve loved he water. I’ve had a pool at my house since I was 2 or 3 years old and I’ve been going to the ocean for the same amount of time.
There are four types of strokes, they are butterfly, backstroke, breast stroke, and freestyle.my favorite stroke is also the one that I’m best at which is the backstroke.
When I’m older I hope to become a swimmer on the Caribou High School swim team. I love competing in swim meets (which are swimming competitions) and swimming as fast as I can to try to win first place.
I would also like to become a swimmer on the Olympic swim team. One of my biggest dreams is to make it onto the U.S. Olympic swim team and win a gold medal. One of my biggest heroes is Missy Franklin. She is one of my heroes because even though she is only 17 years old, she competed in the 2012 summer Olympics.
