Hey guys! I’ve sucessfully managed to not post in 18 days…better than a month, right? It doesn’t even seem like summer has started, since I have all this schoolwork hanging over me. Speaking of which, the gravity of the situation has greatly increased since my mom and I have started looking at colleges. I simply must get my Geometry and Chemistry finished this summer if I want to apply for colleges, because I need to take the ACT/SAT. I wasn’t too worried before, because I was probably going to go to a junior college first, to get my general studies out of the way, and then start at a four-year college as a sophmore. But now I’m not so sure, so we’re going to apply just in case.

This I do know. There’s a 99.9% chance I’m going to major in Vocal Performance, and a Music Theater/Theater minor. I’m not completely sure because I want to leave it somewhat open, but that’s pretty much the only thing I can see myself doing and liking for a long time. I had three major fields, Vocal Performance, Web/Graphic design, and Political Science. How’s that for variety? However, I’ve decided that I probably am not cut out for Political Scicence, since that probably means law school and becoming a lawyer, which means the BAR exam. I don’t want to sound like a slacker, but that’s just a ton of work! I think I would get bored and and unhappy after a while. I know myself, and I don’t have a math-minded brain, which seems to lean more into the law school area. Web and Graphic Design sounds fun now, but I know that would get old fast. I’m already sort of bored just working for my church, doing their sites and graphics. So Voice is left, which I love. I can teach too, not just peform…my mom always says I should be a teacher. I do know I don’t want to be like an elementary school teacher, but teaching voice and music would be better.

What appeals to me about Voice and performing is not just the personal gratifaction, but the fact that I can impact so many people! One of my goals is to spread God’s word in the corrupted Theater world. I’ve heard it’s hard for Christians to remain strong in the entertainment industry, and I imagine that’s true. But I believe that God will help me if it’s His will for me to tell others about Him, and change the enviroment from the inside out. It’s tough, but I think I’m up to the challenge. Attending a Christian college is almost vital to help me prepare. Finding a Christian school with both Vocal Performance and Musical Theater is harder than other majors, but I’ve found a few. Staying close to home is pretty important to me as well…after all, my little brother is only little once! I don’t want to miss half of his life just because of school. That seems almost selfish to me.

Once again, I’ve posted a sermon! I tell myself I’ll post something short and lighthearted
“next time”, and it never happens! Oh well…this isn’t too horrific, is it? Talk to you guys later!
