I Tried Out For The Voice At 15, And Here Are 5 Things I Learned

It was the best and most memorable experience.

Jan 24, 2019

Personal Picture

At the age of 15, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try out for the TV show that I had fallen in love with just a couple years before. I was just a shy girl who was wanting to find her place in the world and that's when I decided to do something I will never forget. This is what I learned from my experience.

1. You have to practice day in and day out.

I had to practice 7 days a week until it was time for me to audition. There were some days that I didn't want to practice but, I would have to get over it and do it.

2. Nashville is my favorite place.

I fell absolutely in love with Nashville. I don't even know what I like the most but, Nashville has my heart.

3. I'm one of the people who can say they have sung at the Grand Ole Opry.

While in Nashville, we went to the Grand Ole Opry and I had the opportunity to sing while we were there.

4. I was one of the youngest people to try out.

When you try out, you in as a group and there was just one other 15 year old besides me. It was really intimidating to have to try out with 30 and 40 year old people.

5. Although I didn't get to move onto the next round, I'm so blessed to have had this opportunity.

The judges and the show could only take so many 15 year olds and when I tried out they had already got to the amount of 15 year olds. I'm not upset that I didn't get to go on to the next round, I take it as that I had the opportunity to get invited to something that not a lot of other people get the opportunity to do. This experience changed my life for the better and I'm forever grateful for that.

Who knows, I may just audition again!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
