Today, as you can see, I started a blog! I am very exited. This is actually the third time I have started a blog (the others weren't very successful). My goal for this blog is to blog at least twice a week. So, I'll keep you posted!
So, a little bit about myself....
My name is Sophia, and I live in Minnesota, United States. I recently just started school and am in eighth grade. What I love more than anything is music, animals, and family.
1. Music - When I was in fifth grade there was a program at school where anyone my age could be in orchestra during school right before lunch time. We could choose what instrument we wanted to play, and I decided I wanted to play the violin. I was one among the many people who played the violin. The experience wasn't as great as I thought it would be, so the next year I decided not to be in orchestra but in band instead. When sixth grade came around, I got my schedule and I saw that I had gotten choir. Well, I didn't want choir, I wanted to be in ojibwe language and arts class. So, when I tried to get my schedule changed, there were too many people in ojibwe already, so I had to be in orchestra. So the year went by, and I even met my best friend to whom we shared the same classes. She has the same name as me, and she plays the viola.
During sixth grade, times came when we had to write our own little short pieces of music. In doing so, I decided I wanted to write music. Towards the end of the year, I wrote a violin piece called A Night for the Dancing Shadows. Over that summer I wrote a piece called Deep Willows, which was then played at the seventh grade concert (don't let me get into that, it would take too long). This year I am still doing what I love: composition.
2. Animals - Okay, so the first thing you should know is that I am a very strict vegetarian (not vegan). I love animals with all my heart, and I don't want to support factory farms with my money. I do not support animal testing and I think things should be all natural anyway. I don't really want to go on ranting about this forever so I will talk about it some other time.
3. Family - My family means everything to me (to make a long story short).
So, I hope you will want to read my blog posts, and I hope you will love my blog.
Thanks for visiting, and I will keep you posted! :D
