Day 19: I am thankful for the movie "Sister Act." This movie may have saved my life! I had seen it many times before, but one day, I saw this movie in a double feature package with "Sister Act 2" in the five dollar been at Walmart. I picked it up and bought it. I went home and watched this movie. Every time the nuns started singing with Whoopi as their director, I started tearing up and crying. I knew that I enjoyed music and directing a choir. I had been directing the choir off and on in my church branch. But this music, pop music, was the kind of music I wanted to direct. I knew I wanted to direct a group that needed music in their lives. Not that church friends don't need music, but I do think some of them take the opportunity for granted.
The rest is history! I started the Indy Adult Show Choir, with help from some friends, and my life has been changed for the better.
I love all of the friends I have made through my community choir! Through my choir, I have a life I enjoy living!
Watching "Sister Act" changed my life and made me realize what I really needed to be doing!

Would you go back to school?
After seeing my friend, Trevor's Graduate Conducting Recital last week, it makes me think, maybe I should go back to school. He has such an awesome passion for what he's studying!
I never really felt like I had that passion when I was in music school. I was there just to get a job. I was a horrible student!
There were a lot of factors behind that, like being told, "Don't do music! You have to get a job with insurance!" It was actually a bit heart breaking. So, why even try? My entire time in college, I was there to just get by, not study something with passion.
Could I go back to school now with as much passion as Trevor has? He is amazing at directing a choir!
I still don't think I could do it. Even if I went back to school to study something completely different, like to become a hair stylist or get into cosmetology, I still don't think it would be a possibility. Some days, I feel like having a passion for something is just gone from me! This is a bit sad!
Don't get me wrong, I love directing choir's. It's just, I could never go back to school for music, and feel like I was accomplishing something.
Maybe this is just part of having that mid-thirties slump in my life. It's not that I'm not generally happy. I am. I'm just going through the motions a lot of days.
