In the Zone

Here I am, sitting in my zone. I think about what to write next, what melody to create that hasn't been thought up before. All of my attention has been turned into brainstorming new obscure pitches in combination to make a friendly, rhythmic tune. I am completely in the zone, shut off from the world into a new world of percussive beats and symphonic melodies. These moments call back to others, my true origin for the appreciation for music.
The first song I remember listening to on my own - Bittersweet by Galactic plays on my Red mp3 player I had as a child. I melt into the perspective of my six year old self sitting in the front of the music class at Isaac Dickson Elementary. Today we were messing around on the electronic keyboards Ms.Hughes had in the classroom. I tried to make it sound as cool as possible, trying to catch the ears of my peers beckoning their love towards my newfound original tune. I would’ve remembered the sense of utter accomplishment if it were completely original, or if I even knew the keys on the keyboard. …show more content…
I was in the Middle School band, after quickly failing to play the trumpet I realized what I wanted to do all along, it was percussion. The percussion being the lead of the whole band, the internal heartbeat, metronome, and soul of the flow of the band. I was proud to be a part of this, swaying and bringing every kind of instrument together in the joy of music. Although I wasn't too fond of the concert band instrumental music, after 3 years into the introduction of the percussion world I finally found my set place to stay in High

Personal Narrative: Middle School

Middle school for some people is an easy time where they are interested in learning the new way of “big kids” school, with changing classes, and new teachers, and harder subjects. For me, I was excited for the change and the advancement in school, but I think I was almost too excited that I became anxious. Just before the first day of school in 6th grade, I got myself so worked up and worried about all the possible things that could go wrong. I had a homeroom teacher that was supposedly very strict…

Personal Narrative: Middle School

to be apart of a new school. However, that wasn’t the case. The first time I walked into GW a small tear ran down my cheek as my smile faded as my awkward sixth grade self whimpered, “Fudge, the door just hit me!” to my friend next to me. Little did I know, she wasn’t really next to me anymore. I looked up to find a giraffe of an eighth grader looking down on me. He smelled of smelly socks and old gym clothes, and out of everyone, I just had to be the one stuck to him as middle schoolers pushed and…

Personal Narrative: Depression In Middle School

In middle school, many people would have described me as someone who worried about school more than I was supposed to; and they were right.

Bullies were something I never thought I’d had to deal with; but high school proved me wrong. As I continued to grow insecure over my appearance, coming from a low income family, and even my Hispanic heritage I got swallowed…

Personal Narrative-Motivation In Middle School

Throughout middle school, people knew me as the shy girl, if they even noticed me at all.

One night during Winter Break, I came to the realization that self pity would only hurt my situation. In order to improve my confidence, I needed…

Personal Narrative: A Change In Middle School

But that all changed when I entered middle school, I don’t know why but I wasn’t into showing my creative side like I was use to. Maybe it was trying to be popular among my new classmates or just trying to transition from elementary school to middle school. Either way, I didn’t draw that often or went to my ceramics lessons anymore. After that I felt a little lost and stayed like that for a while. I did signed up for Intro to general art taught by Mr. Farrant, but that was depressing. Considering…

Personal Narrative: My Middle School

“Middle School” “Don’t ruin a good today by thinking about a bad yesterday. Let it go.” My grandmother once said this to me when I was upset because of events that happened the day before.

Sixth through eighth grade was probably the worst times of my life but I still have some awesome memories to hold on to forever. In middle school you are still trying…
