    I chose to join show choir because I thought it would be a good way for me to leave my comfort zone and try something new and fun. The first time I thought of auditioning for show choir was when I saw them perform during my sophomore year.

    assignment. After going through my work completely, my professor believed that my speech needed to illustrate to the audience about how they could use my message in their own lives.
