And this is why I sing!

I sing because...I sing. It is an involuntary thing [like your heart beating] and all I need to hear is a word of a song that I know, and I want to burst into song. My soul smiles while in song. My talent would not sell out Madison Square Garden, but it is fun for me! And I could no more stop singing than stop breathing.
For years in my classroom, I tried to get kids to try things that they were not good at...even if they were not as successful as the person sitting next to them. At some point in time, it became more important to be the best at something, or else forget about it. I will admit that if you have someone sitting right next to you telling you how easy something is when you are having major trouble getting it going...it is very annoying. I signed up for an in -service computer class on 'drawing' and the person to my right was from another district talking how easy this was going to be!. As the directions were given, I listened intently and watched the room's monitor. By the time I was able to get smoke coming out of the chimney on my house, she had gone ahead and put a welcome mat before her front door with words and flowers! It certainly was disheartening and to those bragging type of killjoys, I say, Boo! Hiss! And your boasting stinks!....

I understand that sometimes it is necessary to cast people in roles based upon their talent[ Broadway musicals, surgeons, architects, etc.] but for the most part, people are missing out on many things.

It's kind of sad that our 'society' seems to have the power to dictate what is good, right, pretty, fashionable, valuable, important, etc. and as a result, many passionate and talented people are overlooked and unknown.
So, the moral of the story is...'Be true to yourself' and if yodeling makes you happy...yodel on!
