Should I even bother?
Ever since I picked up a flute I have always told people I wanted to go to Julliard and play with a great symphony orchestra after I graduate. That was 2 years ago when I didn't know anything about the music school and how difficult to get in. This summer I looked up everything I could about Julliard and found out some pretty devastating stuff. Their acceptance rate is so low it's sad. It seems that the only kids who get in for music are (not to be racist) but asian people who practice 8 hours a day. I always have said I wanted to be in Julliard for the hell of it. But the more I learned about it the more the entire world seems to say "You have no chance!" I love Music but I'm not sure if it's my true pion. I get annoyed and bored whenever I practice but whenever I get something right I didn't before I have a 5 second feeling of pure triumph. I know if I ever want a chance to be accepted I need do to so much. Practice for hours a day and shaping my technique. Learn everything there is to know about music and flute. Listen to as much music as possible. (i don't mind that I listen to too much Music as it is) I already take lessons from a Julliard Grad so maybe she could shape me into Julliard material. I am only 13 but whenever I want something I'll go any lengths to get it no matter the odds. But should I even bother to try?
