Choir is My Life I was growing in a family that always love to sing. My parents are in a choir when they were young. And I think, I get the same hobby like them. For the first time, when I was in the kindergarten I always love to sing along the way to school or anywhere. I can't stop singing along the way. But there was a problem with me. I'm too shy to face the new people around me. I can't singing even talking in front of so many people. So, my parents were looking for something that can make me brave to show myself in front of the people around me. And finally, when I was in elementary school they found me a choir in church and made me join the choir. That is Ascensio Children and Youth Choir. This was a place where I can learn how to be brave to the new people, how to sing as a choir, how to sing the classical song, read the numerical notation, dynamics, harmony, and the important is I can feel the experience to serve our church through singing. And I'm still the part of this group until now. And time flies so fast. Now, I have joined 3 choirs. Ascensio Choir, Anima Christi Choir, and Salve Regina Choir. I'm not shy anymore. I can talk with the new people and even singing in front of them. I have practice with the choirs 3 times a week. Sunday for Ascensio, Tuesday for Anima Christi, and Saturday for Salve Regina. It's all non commercial choir. We often sing for the sunday mass, wedding mass, or another celebration in our church for free. When somebody asked for our help, we will not ask for the payment. In our lives as a choir, we have an opinion that we got the knowledge about music for free so we have to give back of it for free as well. And I'm proud to be part of these choir. Although I didn't get anything. I'm happy to dedicate my time to serve others, especially God with what I have.

My very best friend This is a picture of me and my very best friend. We were friends since we're 7. Her name is Gaby. We met at her birthday party. Her mom invited me because our mom knew each other before. We school at the same elementary school. Then, she decided to choose a middle school at another city. We've been separated for 3 years. After we graduated from middle school, she comes back for high school and university. Now, even though we're not in the same school anymore, we are still friends. We go to church together, join a choir, play together, hang out, laugh, and share our story together. We do anything together. Love her!

My dream I’m Elisabeth, 18 years old from Indonesia. I have a simple dream. I want to see the snow. It’s traveling in fact. But, the purpose is to see the snow. If you want to know where it is, I don’t know. I only can say wherever that is possible. But, it has to be snowing. Because that’s what I seek for. I just want to know how the feeling of snow is. Because my country only has 2 seasons, rain and summer. Well, every time I watching movies about Christmas, and I saw the snow falling down, I envy. When will I feeling like that? Playing the snowball, making the snowman, wearing the long coat and gloves, hat, and the shawl. It will be great, I think!
