I do not think of myself as a very outgoing person. If you ask my peers and teachers, most will say that I am a shy and quiet person. It has always been difficult for me to get up in front of a class and give a presentation. I did not used to have the confidence to present myself in front of a crowd. When I sang my first formal solo for the Miss Nicollet Talent show, I still was not very confident in myself and in my singing. In spite of feeling that way, I won. After that my confidence and the way I felt about my singing started to change for the better. I started having more confidence in myself and was able to be more outgoing. Winning the talent show also gave me the confidence to sing a solo at the Band and Choir Pops Concert last spring. I was still struggling to find confidence to give presentations in front of my classmates, but singing in front of a theater full of people was not as terrifying. Being involved in music, the past couple of years especially, has improved my confidence levels and has made me more
