I found a much more positive way of thinking.
So, I pretty much feel really horrible to have said those rude things about that judge. I found it in my heart that maybe I wasn't being judged unfairly.
At my last voice lesson that I had on Thursday, I was talking to my teacher about all of it, and how unfair I thought it was that I had gotten such a low rating compared to everyone else. And I was going on with all my rants and raves about it, then we moved onto my lesson. But as I was getting ready to leave, my teacher was like, "Just keep your head up, ya know. I mean, I mad too. So just don't let it get you down." Then, when I heard her say she was mad, all of a sudden I knew I wasn't mad, at all. And a really great feeling came to me, and I said to her, "Ya know, maybe we shouldn't be mad. Maybe the 3 of us that got the Excellent ratings were luckier than the rest that got Supierior ratings. (My teacher had said earlier that she just thought it was weird that so many people has gotten Supieriors, so maybe the judges has just been too easy on them.) Because you said it was weird that they judged so easily, well maybe we're lucky that our Judge didn't. Maybe she actually cared enough to try and give us something to work off, while the other judges just didn't care, so everyone else got Supieriors that didn't really have a lot of heart and care behind them."
So, now feel so much better and much more confident about my singing because that Judge did the right thing, and really paid attetion to what I was doing. She actually JUDGED and cared about what I was doing, instead of just pretending to care, just so she could get through it fast without having to do her job. I am really greatful for having the judge that I did because she gave me something to grow off, she left plenty of room for improvement, and showed honesty instead of filling my head with thoughts that I was SUPER awesome and that I didn't ever have to worry about my singing. She actually prepared me for things that I will be in, in the future, like during college and stuff that I will have to be absolutely perfect to get a not-so-perfect rating.
SO, there you have it. I am not just some head-strong, self-centered, angry teenager that can't handle the truth. Sure, it make take me a day or two to fully understand why things happen the way they do, but I'm always looking for the right answer and don't give up until I find it. I'm not going to be satisfied with the one that I think up on my own that leaves me angry and cold hearted towards others. That's just not me. Thank goodness!
Peace brings us closer together!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I am so proud of you.
You show such maturity. You are developing the ability to be able to look at things from both sides.
I Love you...
Mom
