Damesha's Story

My passion for music has always been there since I was little. My mom told me that when I was about three years old, while she was in the kitchen fixing me something to eat, I would always be twirling around or humming. Whenever a song would come on, I would start singing and trying to make a dance with it. I discovered I actually had a real passion for music when I was about eleven. Music became my escape for the world and the issues around me. Whether it was at home or school music became my safe haven and still is to this day. I grew up singing on the praise and worship team at church and in middle school I played instruments. It has always been easy for me to catch on to something especially when it came to anything involving music.

Attending Appel Farm Arts Camp will help me pursue my passion for music because this program will help me to build a stronger foundation in music. I will be able to learn new things about music but also overall life lessons. Attending Appel Farm Camp will help me discover different life lessons especially if I want to continue to in music and maybe even in the music industry. Also I was looking up the Appel Farm Arts Camp, and I saw videos on Youtube about this camp. In the videos I learned what students do at the camp, and this program really caught my eye.

A Note from Ms. Gallagher, Damesha's Teacher

Damesha will be a fantastic addition to the Appel Farms Arts Camp program! She is friendly, ready to learn, and diligent. She will make friends with other high school students, and she will commit to do her best in all music classes and performances. While I do not know how many music and arts classes Damesha has been able to take during her freshman year, I know that she will chose to take many music electives during high school and pursue music in college. At this Wishbone program, she will gain training and experience while playing instruments and singing. I am thrilled to support Damesha going to Appel Farm Arts Camp.

Damesha, the gifts and talents will make a way for you but it's the anointing that makes the difference. The anointing will sustain you and set you apart. So as you're taking the steps to sharpen your gifts and talents the most important thing you needs to always remember is to protect the anointing that's on your life.
