Throughout the early years of high school I was very unsure of what career I wanted to pursue when I got older. I had been very involved in sports for my entire life, but also had many other interests. When I was really young I wanted to be play in the WNBA. As I got older and more mature, I realized I needed a more realistic dream. I went through many different phases. I wanted to be an interior designer, an architect, a graphic designer. My senior year had arrived, and I finally had decided. Music had been a large part of my life for many years. I was involved in choir at a young age, and stuck with it through high school, but I had never had any professional lessons. I wanted to be a singer. Being a Muncie local, I knew Ball State had a great music program, and I was interested in going to school in my home town. If I was going to get into the music program, I was going to need a lot of work. I wanted the best vocal coach I could find. Believe it or not, there aren't many vocal coaches in Muncie, Indiana. We were on a low budget, and did not want to travel far considering I had school, was a three sport athlete, and participated in swing choir. My mom and I called around for weeks and finally found the right fit. I only had to travel about two minutes from my house, and it was fifty dollars per hour. I only had about 3 months of training before my audition. Long story short, I got accepted into the music program. If I wouldn't have found my amazing vocal coach, I don't think I would have gotten in. I lot of work went into finding him, and it definitely paid off.
