Music in my Heart

Since I was a kid, I already started singing. I mean, I lived to sing from the very start. I guess I had developed this when I was still in kindergarten. I had a teacher who discovered my talent in music. Every social occasions whether Christmas party or any special celebration, I always sing my favorite song before which is entitled “My Heart Will Go On”. I can still remember before the memories I had as a child. I always sing in front of many people, but that was before. When I was in elementary, I don’t want to sing anymore in front of those people. I felt shy. That was the first time I felt that the talent I had when I was in kindergarten I had already vanished. I didn’t have the talent. I don’t have confidence. That’s why I don’t sing in front of many people. I felt nervous every time I sing in front, even in front of my classmates. I only sing when we have sing a long with my family or relatives because I know that they believed in my talent.

When I entered high school, I already know a little on how to play guitar. I just learned playing it in less than a month because I started with it summertime. From that time, I always play with my guitar. Joining the singing contest in our school was my first time since I had stopped singing in my elementary years. I thought that I couldn’t do it because I don’t know how to act in the stage during my performance. But then I just proved to myself that I have the talent. From then on, I’m not shy anymore singing in front of many people. In fact, I joined the glee club in our school because I want to show my talent that I hid when I was in elementary.

And now that I’m already a second year student, I had learned to play flute. This adds my skills in playing instruments. Now, I can play two instruments. I learned also that except for singing, I could dance also. These talents were used since I studied here in the University of the Philippines. I believed that our school helps us to develop the talents that we had.

I know that music is always in my heart. When I am sad or happy, I just sing the songs that I like. When I’m alone, I just play with my guitar or listen to the radio. I like listening to music. It makes me feel better. I enjoyed the talent that I had right now and maybe I can share it to the people. I know not all of them would appreciate my talents but I am confident having such a great blessing given to me.

If you don’t like music maybe it’s not for you, but who knows you had that music in your heart just waiting for you to discover it. You’ll just realize later on that you had also received a great blessing from God.
