Voice Auditions

So I am currently outside my choir room helping with music program auditions. And I am fairly entertained. It reminds me of three...almost four years ago when I auditioned for the music program. I was terrified. I know their pain...but it is still funny to watch.

What I wish more people would believe me on is how incredibly nice the people they are singing for are. They are such nice people. They shouldn't be terrifying to sing for.

I mean yes, they have high standards, as the girl who got kicked out of the program I would know. But they have been so nice about it.

And I honestly, have not ever been bitter about getting kicked out. I've been beyond heartbroken. But I've never been bitter. I would rather be kicked out of a good program then have the standards lowered. I mean, I didn't practice like I needed to. It was a lot on me. I still love the people in the program.

But I'm sure the people they let in next semester will be amazing, and have no reason to be terrified about their auditions today. And when they get in, they will learn so much. Even if they don't finish in the program. There is soooo much you learn.

Life is full of unexpected twists. It's a matter of reacting to them. Being bitter doesn't solve anything. It just hurts me. So I'm grateful for the experience.
