7th grade has been a crazy year, and now that it's coming to a close, I'm going to list a few highlights of the year. These are not in any particular order... they were all amazing.
1) Choir- I had a blast this year in the Beginning Women Choir at my school. It was a completely new experience for me, and really made me think twice, or three times, about singing for the rest of my life. Between learning how to solfege, sight-read, and repeat measures numerous times, I really was challenged. I had a great time and it really was something I could and will NEVER forget.
2) Band- Again, a huge part of my 7th grade year. I played flute and enjoyed it a ton! My teacher, Mr. Brody was an inspiration to me and amist all his corny humor and random stories, he was a great teacher to everyone. I can't wait until next year, when all of the band- Brass, Woodwind, and Percussion get to practice together!!
3) Friends- This year has been a very important year in the friendship department in my life. I have lost a lot of friends due to stress and never- ending drama. The truth is, it has really proved to me who my real friends are and how extemely blessed I am. I have many great friends that I got very close to this year, such as my track friends, church friends, P.E. friends, band friends, choir friends, math class friends, and AWESOME neighbors. :)
4) Talent Show- This year in the school talent show, Panther Idol, I performed twice. I performed once with my friend Paige singing One and the Same, and once by myself singing Free to be Me. This was a crazy experience. I get nervous everytime I think about it. I practiced hard and long, and on the day of the talent show, God blessed me by letting me win! I was SOO excited when it was announced, and for the rest of the day, I never stopped smiling. God sure does have amazing ways of proving himself to us!
5) Honor Roll- I was one of the 7 or so kids in my grade to get onto the All-A's Honor Roll all year long. This was a HUGE accomplishment for me. I worked and studied hard all year for my grades and was glad to find out my work was enough. I did awesome on my semester tests these last few weeks and that definitely helped me out.
These are just a few of the ways that God has shown me He is watching over me this year and I know He will never fail me. ♥
A new favorite saying: "Dance with God, He'll let the perfect man cut in." :)
