My Dreams...

Dear Reader,
What's your point of view on singers? What do you think a good singer is made of? Just looks? Voice? Behavior? What they wear? What they like to do? What is it that makes you like particular singers so much? I want to know because when I'm older I plan on becoming a singer and I need as much advice as I can get, and why not people who are the ones who judge other singers??? Please help in anyway you can. I try my hardest in singing and even get in trouble sometimes in class for humming with even knowing it. My grandmother told me when I was little I used to watch movies and memorize them and end up singing the songs over and over. I already know I loved/love Annie, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, and Pink because they speak from the heart about real problems in the world, not JUST dealing with them personally and to me that's what counts when your singing. When I sing for others, all I think about is trying to make them smile, that's what I love to do, maybe that's why I also like making people laugh too. The fact that there are few, but some latino singers incourages me. Another is that my last name is Lopez and if George and Jennifer Lopez can make it to singing and making people laugh and smile as much as they do, then why can't I? I'll make it, no matter what, no tricks, no lies, just an honest, hard working 13 year old girl who wants badly to fullfill her dream of becoming a singer, even for a short while. I want to be a singer that'll be remembered through the years, even after I'm dead, not by making mistakes and cheating to make it to the top, but for making it through everything and anything for being a good, not-self-centered person, who doesn't rely on others or looks to be a good singer, or to even being manipulative to become famous. One day I hope my dream will come true, and until then, I'll be needing help from  anyone and everyone!!! ^_^ To never forget the little people in my life and to protect my family and friends at all costs. I'm one of the few people who has respect for the fine arts and adults and those through the years who've made a difference in the world, anyway they can. Someone once said that "Behind every success is effort...behind every effort is passion...behind every passion is someone with the courage to try." Although I really like that motto, I have a better one, that I've lived by since birth..."Never give up without a fight!!!" It's my life motto and I stick to it with all my heart, and I promise you all this...I will make it someday, and I will be remembered for great things, and I thank everyone who's supported me up to this point, and those in the future as well. Don't get me wrong, I've had lessons before, but can you believe that I've never made a mistake? Well, it's true, as long as you learn from your mistake, it's not a mistake, but a lesson. "Behind every mistake is a lesson." I've never made a mistake, but many lessons, and I live by those lessons to this day, and it's taught me a lot, even in the only 13 years of my life so far. My parents didn't baby me when I was little and it's made me strong, and that's why I've been able to make it to where I am now, a successful student with a great family and unbelieveable friends, with a strong personality and will power that you wouldn't believe, to make the best out of any situation, to make it through anything and everything. Love you all and I hope you will fullfill your dreams like I will someday. Peace out!!! <3 ^_^
