My 20% Time Speech

                I’ve always been a musical individual. I was able to hear a rhythmic melody from just about anything that produced sound waves and had a frequency in my hearing range. I have had a strong passion for singing since I was 5, taught myself piano when I was 10, and taught myself guitar when I was 12. The only problem was, I’ve always had extremely, bad stage fright and have tried to force myself to overcome it. 20% time, with Mrs. Browning, has given me the chance to try and overcome my shyness. I have become more confident with myself singing and playing guitar in front of people. I even tried out for choir for the school, which I probably would not have done before. Although I didn’t exactly accomplish my original goal, which was to teach people about the guitar, I did enjoy the process of slowly morphing into a blog about me becoming a better guitarist. I was faced with many obstacles along the way like, breaking strings, trying to do advanced bar chords, and trying to learn to finger pick. As I look back at it now, I realize it made me become even more determined and stronger. I would like to say a huge thank you to my mom who has taught me to persevere, myself for not giving up, and lastly, Mrs. Browning for giving me the chance to find my way for my true passion like the light at the end of a tunnel.
