I don't wanna show off? Hell no.

Wanna know what's funny?

Mr. Gleason is the one who gave me my wings and inspired me to sing in the first place when he basically forced me to be a soprano. I then embraced it and took it places beyond the school, but it was esentially he who started the whole thing with forcing me to sing that high C.

And just like that, he was the one who took my wings away. He was the person who made me not want to sing anymore.

And yes, I've gotten over that "I don't want to sing anymore" crap, but isn't it funny?

But I'm not holding back this coming year. I'm going to tell him what musicals I want to do. If there's a solo I want, I'm going to say so. It's my last year, and I'm more of a veteran than anyone else in the Jazz Choir, except for Anthony, who's been in it as long as I have. I don't care who calls me arrogant because of it. I'm never going to see those people after high school, and I'd rather make my senior year a meaningful and fulfilling experience than hide because I'm afraid of jealous people scrutinizing me for my ambition.

I'm probably going to say this a zillion times, but I can't wait to go to New York this summer. It's going to change my life. I can just feel that I'm going to learn some incredibly important things that will take me where I need to be, that will place me a cut above the rest. And, well, meeting Sutton Foster and Eden Espinosa won't be that bad either, I daresay. :P
