thrilling memories of my apparently short past of ten years (FYI that does not mean I’m dead).

The school I go to is currently Navy elementary‚ Fairfax County‚ which I moved to three to four years ago. I am proud of my life so far‚ and will

My first memory involving religion of any kind is when my grandmother was my temporary Sunday school teacher. This memory had absolutely nothing to do with reading the bible or praying or doing anything of that sort. I have no idea why I remember it either. The memory is of about four other kids and me sitting around the Sunday school table while my grandma sang a song about our ancestry and how it didn’t start with monkeys.

That 1.8-meter-tall singer on stage was me. My schoolmates may not know me by name‚ but they can tell something about the guy who is damn good at singing musicals. After he finished singing on the stage‚ the principal jumped to his feet clapping hands. Parents watching online hurriedly posted messages of praise‚ eager to find out whose kid the singer was. I‚ proud but not vain‚ had been accustomed to such reactions. For me‚ loving and practicing musicals has been a long‚ inspiring journey; it means
