Music Lends a Leading Hand

The person who is writing this piece about being incredibly shy and uncomfortable with people and how she came out of her shell. This was all about singing. She performs and competes. She realized that she has to reach our to people she does not know and that especially at these competitions, everyone is there for music. She ends her piece with this, "Going to college this next year will complete my transformation from a little budding leaf to a full grown flower."
