Have you ever heard of those amazing singers or seen those jaw dropping concerts?

To-infinitive

Well, I plan to be one of them and have my own concerts one day.

Hi, I'm Sahaj Deemra from grade 5A and today I'm going to be talking about my journey of music.

I was just about three years old when I started singing.

I used to sing nursery rhymes in front of the mirror and imagine myself on a big stage.

Back then, I didn't know much about music.

All I knew is that singing made me happy.

As I grew older, I realized something was wrong.

I couldn't hit high notes and low notes, but even harder.

I became frustrated and decided to stop singing altogether.

My parents noticed my silence and encouraged me until I learned a very important lesson.

It's about how good you can become if you don't give up.

I learned new songs and sang loudly and confidently.

But in grade three, I lost interest and watched others perform while I stood on the sidelines.

I felt a spark, a need, a strong urge to start singing again.

And that's when I realized singing was my passion.

It lived inside me even when I wasn't singing songs.

In grade four, I finally decided to start taking music classes.

I visited a few music schools and liked one called Chant OK Music Academy.

first, the vocal exercises were boring, but my coach believed in me.

I practiced hard, but my mock exam went badly because I was unwell and I was scared.

I passed the final exam, but just barely.

I was disappointed even though everyone else was proud of me.

My coach reminded me that progress is still progress.

He encouraged me to skip another level and appear for level four.

I practiced with confidence and now have successfully moved on to level 5 of music.

Later, I joined a new music school called Trinity Access, which is closer to my home and helps me feel more independent.

When I look back, I realize that my journey of music wasn't perfect, but it was powerful.

Music has taught me that even when my voice shakes, I should still sing.

Because every time I do, I become a little stronger, a little braver and a little more confident.

So if you have a dream, whether it's music, sports, art or anything else, don't give up.

Because sometimes the thing that you almost give up on becomes the thing that makes you shine the most.

I would like to end by singing a song called who says By Selena Gomez?
