Literacy in My Life -- Music

I have a love for music. I started to learn to play different kinds of instruments from a young age, so that I have a special feeling in music. I remember that I was used to being selected to performance in the activities of school and class because of my talent. And also for this reason, I became admired by a lot of people which were in the same age as me at that time. Through these experiences, my ability and courage were both developed.
Having a band in high school is really a cool thing, and I did it! At the very first time, we were only a few children who love music and instruments, we did not have any experience of making a band, what we only had was passion, lots of passion. We shared our ideas of the songs. We communicated with the tones and lyrics happily though we were not very familier with each other before. I felt like that music lives without borders.

Here in US, I also met some friends who were fond of music. One of them is Kay, he is a Korean boy who has been here for about three years. He has professional microphone and stereo in his dorm. He often makes the song by himself, he downloads the music from the Internet and writes the lyrics then records them. The songs he made are really wonderful and pretty professional. I appreciate his talent so much, our band used to try to write some lyrics by ourselves but we did not do it very well, what Kay did really makes me excited and light my mind of keeping on music.

Music is a thing that can inspire me and give me a lot of power. I use music to make friends and communicate with people. I cannot live without music, because it is a real fantastic literacy I have.
