I really like vocal majors so far. I have learned a lot about my voice. For one, I have learned that I can sing a lot higher than I thought I could. When I was so used to singing pop songs, whenever I would try to sing a high note, I wouldn’t be able to because I was so used to singing pop. I also learned what I sound like when I’m not singing pop music. Usually, when I’m singing on my own time, I sing pop songs that I really like. When you’re singing other types of music, it’s different. Now, I know what I sound like when I’m singing different types of music. Singing different types of music where you need to sing a lot of different high notes has taught me that when I sing high notes, my voice becomes very quiet and soft. I never would have learned that if it wern’t for singing in vocal majors.
My name is Margaret and I'm part of the refugee social justice group. Only 1% of refugees are resettled, and the rest of them must either stay in danger or leave illegally. Even those who are resettled face homelessness, poverty, and many other issues a lot of us are lucky to not have to face. Our government has lowered the amount of refugees we let in by 50%, and until we make our voices heard.
