Accomplishments

Over the years I have accomplished many things but the thing that I am the most proud of is me overcoming my fear of singing in front of people .There was a time when I wouldn’t sing for anyone not because I couldn’t because I was scared of what they would say but then I thought who are they to judge me .Now I can sing in front of millions of people if I want to and im proud of myself. I sang in numerous talent shows since im not scared anymore. I owe it all to my friends and family because they told me not to be scared I don’t get butterflies anymore but my stomach turns because I’m excited. I want to pass down my singing jeans to my children and I want to be the best mom ever. Singing is what I love to do when I wake up in the morning I sing because singing is what makes me happy.I like to write my own songs because I can express my feelings in words.I have accomplished so much and I am proud of myself and I want to continue to Excel.

A free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wing in the orange sun rays and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can Seldom see through his bars of rage his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of anouther breeze and the trade windss soft through the sighning trees and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own .

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams his shaddow shouts on a nightmare scream his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom.
