Trip to London
Trip to London
Ketura Delisca Here I am sitting on the plane to London for the third time. I know, three is an awful lot of times considering how expensive tickets are nowadays. It’s just I haven’t been able to decide whether or not I am ready to leave everything behind. Everything , as in my cute apartment, my adorable cat, and best of all my friends, the same friends who met me the first day of kindergarten; The same friends who helped me through thick and thin, from tying my shoes to making new friends, to applying to colleges, and so much more, I can’t even tell you all the things they’ve done for me because there are so many I can not list them all. When I think of them it makes it harder to leave, but it’s time that I go. My dream, ever since I was little, was to be the best singer there ever was. Growing up, I used to write my own songs. That was when my mom was alive. She loved to hear me sing. She loved the music, and lyrics I wrote. I went to college for music, got my Bachelors of Music’s Degree, I learned about theory, aural skills, piano skills, acting and received private lessons. During the sophomore year of college I was introduced to a producer, from there things vaulted upward. I started singing at places in Boston, Toronto, Montreal and places all over the United States, I had sung everywhere, but I had never left the country. The first time I was supposed to leave was to sing for the soccer game in France. To sing their National anthem, but that year my mother had died. I never got on the plane. The second time I was recruited to sing was a couple of months later. At that time one of my close childhood friends was getting married there was no way I was missing that. Now finally, I’ve decided to go to London, this time I’m not going to miss an opportunity. This time I’m prepared, ready for anything that heads my way. I’m looking forward to this trip to London, there’s no turning back. The only thing I’m taking with me are my memories. The

    I have learnt a French song today. I have found singing is a great way to be entertained and escape reality while traveling the long tedious roads of our journey. With over two months left of our trading trip I already miss my family tremendously. I asked the other members how they cope with missing their families. They simply said: "You'll get used to it. Just make yourself really busy everyday and you won't even have time to think about them." I am not confident I will be able to distract myself from missing my family. However, I will try my best to practice their advice in hopes it will succeed.…

    Back at home I was surrounded with a horrible community. All the memories that took place needed to be erased to follow my dreams in the music industry. About 3 years later I joined the band “Big Brother and the Holding Company,” which made a statement about my talent and made me more noticeable. My career never really took off until I joined the band. Making music was never about the money in my case. Finally, I was with a good group of guys and eventually made my way to the front and center of the band. But unfortunately I just felt like they were holding me back from being more outgoing in my musical career. About a year and a half later I had to leave the band. It was the hardest goodbye.…

    I have always wondered what wins in audition or even life talent or hard work, well I found out. I have been in show choir for 5 years now and since the very beginning when I went to a show I fell in love, and from that moment on my goal was “Making the All Americans”. See the All Americans is the high school group and in my opinion the best. Though the directors tell us that the girls group “Rouge” is not a B team and is just as good; I don’t think that's true. I had been working towards this for the whole time I was in ETC, the show choir school.…

    Earlier in the year I presented a speech that was about believing in yourself and pursuing your dreams. Shortly after I did that, a song called ‘The Hall Of Fame’ by a band called The Script, featuring a rapper from the pop group The Black Eyed Peas, Will.I.Am, was released on the 19th of August 2012, and has been in the Top 100 Billboard charts since then. The lyrics in this song really motivates me in so many ways, and just inspires me to reach higher, and strive harder everyday.…

    Musical Regret

    All throughout my life, I've made many mistakes. Whether it was picking the wrong type of food, the wrong clothes for my doll, or just making the wrong choices in my life, I was never one to look back upon those mistakes, and ponder upon them; I would usually just brush them off, and say to myself "Oh well, it's not a big deal." However, there came a time when I did make a mistake, a big mistake; even to this day, I regret not doing the one thing I had always wanted to do ever since I was young. When I was young, I got to walk to Wilson High School to watch the Royal Wilson Marching Alliance perform. Among them, there was my cousin who played the flute. He looked so poised and grand standing there, moving along with the best and managing to play his flute and the same time. Ever since then, I was in love with the whole idea of band and seeing my cousin was what made me play the flute in the first place, just so that I could one day, be just like him and perform opposite a large crowd, and playing together in sync with the rest of the band. Finally, one day just as I was about to enter High School, I had a chance to actually make my own choices in what classes I wished to attend. It was a big thing to me, seeing all the courses lay out in front of me. I was scared I would make the wrong choices. It was like having a lot of power but not knowing what to do with it. Nevertheless, it was hard making my class choices but my parents were supportive and allowed me to pick whatever class I thought was best for me and what class would make me feel the most comfortable in.…

    My mom was certainly convinced that she would enroll me there to have my singing lessons given the fact that I, too, was interested to study and learn the basics of singing and performance. Ever since I was a small boy, my mom would tell me that she would make me enroll in voice lessons so I can discover my hidden talent in singing. I was very young and scared back then hence I did not grab my mom’s offer. My mom did not stop there. She tirelessly repeated the offer every summer and she gets a “NO” answer every time. Now the same deal was given to me by my mom, but this time the scary feelings turned into excitement – a feeling that can only be substantiated if only I would give it a try.…

    Now that I am in high school, I joined choir to sing to my grandma who died before seeing how well we achieved and how far we came in life. Because I’m so closed up and isolated from others I tend to write songs expressing my voice, telling how I feel inside; something I’ve never experiences until I got to high school. Not often do I get confident to sing in front of a crowd of people but because of her I would sing in front of a million people to inspire them.…

    I didn’t care if I was singing in coffee shops in the Big Apple, or if was singing at the Staples Center, in Los Angeles, California. I knew in that moment if I was singing I would be happy. My thoughts weren’t money, my thoughts were music. I didn’t expect to be some famous singer like Katy Perry, or Justin Bieber. My dream was to sing, to just do the only thing I could actually see myself doing.…

    Travel Tour

    Back in October of 2010 I took a trip to Atlanta GA to go to games 3 and for of the Baseball playoff series between the San Francisco Giants against the Atlanta Braves. I stayed there for a total of 3 days and two nights. I spent about $180 for a hotel for two nights plus it also cost me $30 in transportation to the game via the train round trip from the hotel to the stadium plus I also spent $300 for a ticket to game 3 as well as a ticket to game 4. It was a memorable trip for me because I got to watch the Giants win the first round of the playoffs in another teams park and I also got to see the Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox manage the final game of his career. I figured I spent about on this trip a total of $1565 including hotel, airfare, game tickets, food and transportation to the game as well as going to the night clubs and bar scenes. I wouldn’t say I had much of an impact on the economy of the state of Georgia because the attendance to the game was no surprise it was always sold out and it was the playoffs. My attendance though is just one of many people who spent money to make the trip to Georgia for the playoff games but whether I go or not the City of Atlanta is going to make money on tourists in other ways such as visiting the Coca Cola Plant or the Martin Luther King Library as well.…
