uhhhh no offense but think about what you say to kids because like\u2026 when I was a kid all I heard was my friends saying \u201cno one wants to hear you sing shut up\u201d until fifth grade I was singing under my breath \u201cwe will rock you\u201d by KISS because I had one of those toothtunes toothbrushes that played it and my teacher stopped me and was like\u2026 do that again. And I thought I was in trouble because no one wanted to hear me sing so I didn\u2019t at first but she kinda coaxed me into it and once I sang it she was like \u201cthat\u2019s good! That\u2019s actually really good, sorry, I\u2019m a little surprised! Wow!\u201d And it literally changed my whole life I immediately ran off to try and join the talent show (I was too late) and I did honor choir and joined choir in 6th grade and here I am now, doing a bachelors in music education with an emphasis in voice, and looking at doing my masters in musical theater performance. I owe literally everything to the fact that my 5th grade math\/homeroom teacher stopped me and made me sing a little for her and took that time to tell me that I was good at it. That was a 2 minute interaction that I doubt she even remembers but it literally changed my entire life. <\/p>\n

tl;dr: the things you say can have the most profound effect on a kids life. Think about what you\u2019re saying the next time you tell a kid something. You never know if that 30 second interaction is going to affect their life forever, so why not make it a good one, huh?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
