Creating your own song

Mr.Summers announced in class that we had to write our own songs for a huge project grade. I was shocked because the project counted for so much credit, but I hated singing and I didn't really consider myself a song writer. I didn't know what to do, my grade was on the line.
A week before the project was due I kept thinking about the different songs I could use to write my own song. I knew I wanted to say something about Kierkegaard and his three stages of life. I wasn't sure how I was going to integrate his philosophy, my own philosophy and the actually song all together. First, I couldn't find a song I wanted to sing to and I was starting to worry because I needed to find a song in the next two days.
I finally chose to use the song from "Winter Wonderland" and changed the lyrics to fit my own words. It took me like four hours to actually get my song together. I had a lot of problems trying to make the syllables be the same as the original song and it took a while to find words that rhymed. I finally finished it the night before it was due, and I can truly say I did a good job. I had never written a song before or even performed in class. Performing in class was also I couldn't deal with, because I hate performing in public and especially my own friends. I knew that in order to get rid of that fear of performing in public I had to just do it and get it over with. It really wasn't that bad! However, my vocals could of been A LOT better.
