Pure bliss! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">I thoroughly enjoy throwing my two arms around, <br>And raising my voice; making such a loud sound.<br>The words are firmly stuck there, within my head, <br>And, if looks could kill, my victim would be dead! <br>Through the piece, venting my pent-up anger, I plough, <br>And, from the examiner, my efforts earn me a ‘wow! ’</div><div style="margin:10px 0">With my sight-reading test, I attempt to ‘emotionally invest’, <br>But with only three minutes to study the piece, I just do my best.<br>We talk and she tells me that I bring much to the table.<br>I express self-doubt, but she seems to consider me able.<br>She expresses hope that I’ll come back to the Academy again.<br>Next time, it will be my Gold Certificate I’ll be hoping to obtain.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">But I wonder how I’ll know, if my standard ever gets that good? <br>How will I know if I if I shouldn’t attempt it or even if I should? <br>Next time, there’ll be two examiners watching me, <br>And I can imagine just how nervous I will, then, be! <br>I’m just not sure within my self, that I’ll ever be that clever, <br>But, then again, as the saying often goes, never say never!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Angela+Wybrow">Angela Wybrow</a><div class=q>

What is going on, as it sounds like thunder.
Up on the first floor, somewhere above my head, 
The students are making enough noise to wake the dead.
Across the room, I can hear feet running to and fro, 
And ..."></div>
