Seventh grade. A new town, a new school, and hopefully a new me. My choir director has just assessed my voice and informed me that I am a soprano. She directs me to sit in the appropriate section; I follow her instructions and timidly take my seat. Immediately, I am assaulted with a fusillade of introductions from the girls around me.
