College Admission Essay on music

Introduction: I wake up from the sweet sound of my music center playing Beethoven. I open my eyes and see a picture of a girl standing near the piano. The eyes of the young girl are full of happiness and I feel her unconcealed delight and confidence. What can I tell you about this girl from Bucharest? She is very enthusiastic and passionate about what she is devoted to. Music has changed her life ever since she turned seven when she impressed a music teacher and successfully passes an audition to the music school. The sounds of piano penetrated her mind and soul and made the girl perceive the world truly deep. She never had time to play with her friends as she was always near her piano trying to play better, trying to feel the instrument better. This was the moment when everybody realized that she is the type that never leaves anything undone, the type that struggles and overcomes obstacles that prevent her from achieving her goal. She was always trying to improve and she managed it owing to her originality, imagination, creativity and persistence. Playing the piano was not enough – she needed to sing and that is how she got to the National Performing Arts School of Bucharest to study vocal music.

Ever since that moment she sang and played with a passion even stronger than she showed before. She got The Romanian Youth Award at the "Golden Music Festival" in 2004, the Popularity Award at "Radu Serban National Pop Music Festival" in 2004 and the Special Award at "Iulian Andreescu National Pop Music Festival" in 2005; participated in “The star without a name" in 2005; provided backing vocals for the “Miamian National Music Festival"(second most important music festival in Romania after "The Golden Stag"); and in September 2005 won the 3rd prize at the "Golden Ship National Vocal Music Festival”. Singing and playing were the whole world for her but she also liked acting for she enjoyed that she could be so different and challenge herself once again. She felt so comfortable standing in front of the public during her Speech Competition that it made her feel she needs to fight for her right to stand there. She passed the audition for TV presenters for MTV and completed a course in journalism and a course in TV presenting. You ask me what she is up to now?

Conclusion: She wants to continue challenging herself, making a difference, generating new ideas. She is determined to pursue her dream and hopes to learn everything she can to guide her through achieving her goal. Her dream, her ideas and her persistence are something she is ready to share. For her – the opportunity to study and improve is exactly what she has always dreamt about. For her studying psychology, playing the piano or acting equals flying, flying with her soul. She wants to fly up high to become a beautiful butterfly. How do I know so much about her? I am this girl and I want to fly stronger then ever.
