Good morning, my name is Sarah. It's an honor to be here and to share with you the story of how music has had an influencemy life.

Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all? Two years ago, I (tell) I had a serious diseasewas difficult to cure. My body ached all the time and thus I thought I didn't have much longer to live. I was very afraid and I felt so alone and discouraged. Then one day, I had to go through a two-hour (medicine) treatment. The doctor wanted me (relax), so he had me listen to some music, and one of the(song) was "Happy". The song made me feel so much(good) that from then on I began to listen to music all the time.

Music gave me(happy). When I listened to music, it (make) my spirits fly like a kite in the wind. Music gave me strength and brought me relief. Moreover, music gave me hope andsense of satisfaction.
