I’ve wanted to do this since I heard that music therapy existed. The more I learn about it, the more I want to do this. It’s something exciting, it’s a chance to help people, it’s a fascinating job, and it’s something that suits me.

At the moment, however, I’m a little concerned. I auditioned for the program at my University last February, and I didn’t get in. Now February is coming around again, and although I’ve been working hard I’m not sure that I’m ready for this. It’s hard to face the audition again after messing it up before—I’m terrified.

But I’m stubborn, too. If they don’t let me in this year, then I’ll try again next year. I’m not going to give up on this.
