I love Singing to relax and havefun. Singing has also taught me
a lot of skills in my life.
Moreover, I have a lot of opportun ities to perform publicly as well.
I have sung in front of a lot of peo ple in a bar or even hundreds of p
eople in a concert as an amateur singer.
Singing has many benefits towards my life. It contributes to my personal and professional development.
“Show us an activity you enjoy doing. Tell us how you think it contributes to your personal and professional development.”
It builds confidence. You can’t perform in front
of a lot of people if you don’t have confidence.

meaningful to them.
Singing is an art. To do it effectively you need an intimate understanding of the music and lyrics and how to convey the meaning to the audience. It is
a great way to learn how to connect with people.
Cope with failure and undesirable results Cope with failure and undesirable results
There are a lot of times that the outcome of a performance doesn’t meet m y expectations. Sometimes when I perform, I don’t get as much positive fee
dback as I want, or I am personally unsatisfied with the performance. It is im portant to accept that performances won’t always go perfectly and that I mu
st keep practicing and constantly improve myself to achieve the best outcome. This is the only way I can become a better singer.

may be many failures before the big success. Being tough enough to deal wit
h these obstacles and learng from these experiences will help you succeed in you
r professional life.
Coping with failure helps me t o be more emotionally resilien t and to deal with tough situati
ons that I may encounter in m y life
