Thanks Wendy!!!!It makes a bit more sense now...and I have another question.
I really feel a calling to my music, and because of this, I have decided
that "what I want to do when I grow up" is to be a professional musician...I
want to try to go to Juliard, and then join an orchestra like the Boston
Pops or such, but I know the propability of that happening to a girl from a
school who can't even afford to send their band to band camp, for
anything!!!lol...anyways, I was wondering if anyone could give me tips or
pointers on how to, well, better my credentials starting now so I can have a
better chance of getting into Juliard...my mom thinks I'm stressing over it
way to much, because I just got out of the 8th grade, so I'm fresh into
highschool, but it's really important to me and I'm very serious about it...
Brightest Blessings,
Kimber the Wrestler
