Let's put things this way, in the average high school 1 out of 5 girls can sing well (boys are a different story, it's much much less). If every girl attempts to be a singer or study vocal music in college, millions of girls in the US would be fighting for hundreds of positions. It's almost like sports. This is not to say that some don't make it, but it's very very very hard. Get a side life and a side passion to study. If you pursue vocal music with all your talent and get ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE you'll have something to fall back on. My advice for pursuing? First, get into high school chorus. Secondly, if you had to "hang with your friends" or something of that nature on the date of the talent show, give up now because you apparently have higher priorities above singing. Thirdly, sing. Right now. If you're not singing then you're not going to be singing when someone really asks you to sing. If you immediately thought, "oh gosh, I don't know what to sing..." then don't pursue vocal music. Do something else. Finally, from my choir director, "A good singer sings, a great singer can sing at the drop of a hat." (and also, conceited is spelled conceited, not concided. Think about saying "concided" for a moment.)

ahem: a note, perhaps you should have signed up for english instead of "peer counceling."

(Rating: 3) well my choir director told me that i should have signed up for chorus again btu i signed up for peer counseling because i might want to be a therapist or something.. that would be something i would put on the side, by the way you sound very CONCIDED like you no all this stuff about singing, you may but you dont need to brag about it . thanks for your help any ways... and i didnt hang out with my friends i had something planed with my daddy because im really close with him thankyou very much.
