personal narrative...tell me what you think
*My True Passion*
Music had always played a minor role in my life, but I had always taken it for granted.
Before music was actually essential to me, whenever I would listen to music, it would never really draw out a true sense of fulfillment from deep down inside me. I just listened to the music when I went from place to place, and when it wasn’t around it wouldn’t have mattered.
I had always listened to music in my room while working on homework, or listened to it in the car; yet I never saw the major role music played on my life until a certain person walked in, and that person was the one and only Josh Brickey. My past youth minister Josh Brickey was the sole person I knew that was exceedingly passionate about music.
Why do I want to mention Josh and his passion for music? Well before I even heard of the name Josh Brickey I was searching for my true passion; something I was actually good at and something I enjoyed. I had no idea what my passion would be, but with the help of Josh, he helped me see the light.
By the constant push and shove by Josh, I was slowly becoming more active in my youth group and discovering my sincere love for music at the same time. I was joining youth choir and I often helped lead our Wednesday night services when we sang. Slowly I was becoming aware of how important music was to him, which lead me to find my authentic love for music.
It was either a Wednesday night service or a youth night when it hit me. I know my true passion, and that passion is music. Right when that exact thought crossed my mind, I just stopped singing...past words of wisdom from Josh ran through my mind at the same time..
“When you sing, pay attention to the words, and the significance towards yourself..”
After I recalled that quote, I looked over at Josh and he looked at me. He smiled at me as if he knew what was going on. Then at that very moment we were looking at each other, I mouthed the words, “Thank you”. After that he was a little confused, but I explained to him that his passion and love for music in a way ‘rubbed off on me’. I was so happy and in a way embarrassed at the same time. My embarrassment came from deep down inside me because I realized that music had always been right in front of my face and I didn’t even realize it. In addition to finding my true passion for music I was so happy and thankful for Josh to have been here to help me discover my true passion.
Now, when I listen to music, it really draws a true sense of fulfillment from deep down in my heart, and I do exactly what josh commanded me to do...look for the significance towards me and my life. If I hadn’t gained this awe-inspiring appreciation for music, I would more than likely still be back at square one; looking for my passion....
tell me what you think of my paper..yea it seems short but when you type it in bigger font and you double space it on word, it seems longer..haha...so anyways...comment!
