There are no famous musicians or celebrities in my family to my knowledge (though there is an unconfirmed rumor U.S. President John Quincy Adams is an ancestor of mine
). As for talent, it seems to run in my family:
*My biological mother loves to do stand-up comedy, and she also likes painting. She likes to skate and participated in roller derby competitions as a teenager.
*My oldest biological sister (she turned eighteen last month) likes to play Guitar Hero and plays the guitar. She also likes to sing, and she does beautiful beadwork jewelry. We have Cherokee in our family line, so that could be where the beadwork ability comes from. She is also a writer and loves to draw. She is trying to get into art school and is trying to get some children's books published.
*My thirteen year-old brother loves to do stand-up comedy
. He's really good at making people laugh.
*My eight year-old sister really wants to learn ballet. Unlike me, she's coordinated and loves dancing. I understand she also likes the piano.
As for me, I was in my junior high and high school choirs, both of which are nationally recognized choirs. I was also in a college choir until the director decided to break it off fro reasons none of us know to this day. There were only fifteen of us in the choir, and it was a gospel choir. The director was very selective about who got in, so I was thrilled. The director for my junior high and high school choirs was also very selective. When I auditioned for my senior year, she told me I was her most improved student out of everyone. Other things about me:
*I can sing in Soprano I, Soprano II, Alto, Tenor, Baritone, and Bass :blink:. If I can help it, Soprano I is my preference.
*I can sing in numerous vocal styles including country, pop, classical, and rock.
*I have won medals in Solo & Ensemble contests.
*I was in theatre, and I have won awards in dramatic reading contests.
*I have done stand-up comedy and enjoy it very much. I have even been asked numerous times if I plan to make a career out of it.
*I love writing, drawing, and making beadwork jewelry.
*I play the harmonica.
*I was in track and field back in junior high and part of high school, and I won a couple of medals. I did mainly sprints, and I also did shotput and discus. I now run for fun and to be in shape, and I average an eight-minute mile. For someone who stands only at 5'2", I'd say that's pretty good
.
*I was in Tae Kwon Do during elementary school, and I managed to bring home a couple of trophies. Where they've since gone is beyond me.
