My Voice My Pride

Today I would like to dedicate some time to appreciate the things that I like about myself. It’s necessary to pay attention to such aspects to be appreciated and cared for in some way for the things that are unique.

This is one thing that I cannot help but love about myself the sound of my voice. People have always said to me that I have a beautiful singing voice and I cherish that so much. I always love singing because I feel liberated when singing without knowing that there is someone monitor my singing ability. I’ve always liked music and having a voice that can do something like this is just a great gift.
But I didn't just became good at singing from the beginning, yes I had a good voice but I needed to train it, I can still remember some years back when I went for an auditioning the judges there and me hate myself, I was mocked and advised to quit singing, I was ashamed of myself for the very first time people have talk down on my voice, I came back home that day I felt depressed and decided not sing again but there was something deep inside of my that couldn't just agree to that decision. Months after I enrolled for a voice training class, that was how everything started changing, I could now sing to a particular key when it been played on the keyboard and balance it. I grew from one level of singing to another and for the passion I had for music I had to go study it in school, thought my parents never believed in me and my music career, at first they never supported my studying music in school, they wanted me to do law but I went for my passion and i we are today. After many years of dedication and consistency, I can sing well and sing loud or low, I now have a studio where I do music for people, have classes where teach both young and adults music and coach them. In all of this I must confess that my voice is one of the precious assets I hold so dearly . It is one that makes me different and one I make sure I engage especially in order to get to know people better.

This is my personal story and I think this is a message that has struggle to get through in a society where things and people are constantly telling us that we don't belong here, trying to demean us that something is wrong about ourselves. No matter if it is our hair color, our voice, our dancing skills or how kind we are, everyone has something worth boasting for.

Therefore, spend some time today considering what aspects of yourself do you like. Are they an asset? If yes, then take them on, be proud of them, and never be shy using them. Turns out that people are very different inside and out, and you are right to love yourself as you are.
