“While being in choir has taught me more things than I can count, I think the most important lesson was what commitment really means. Coming to choir was never optional, it was always vitally important to not only show up, but contribute. There is nothing like being a part of something greater than oneself, and choir has taught me that this greatness can only be achieved when everyone involved puts forth their best effort. Only when everyone was fully committed were we able to create and build something beautiful together. As I go forward in life, I know that I will never underestimate the power of my own commitment, and the joy of seeing the result of that decision.”
