Chapter 1: The Application
October 26th 2006 6: 20 PM
Emily's POV
I sat at the computer screen and chewed hard on my bottom lip. I was nervous as I clicked on the link that said "Apply". I was finally following my lifelong dream of applying for Berklee College of Music. I heard a door close and someone came up behind me. I looked up to see my mother, Gabriella Bolton standing there in my doorway. "Hey Em what are you doing"? She asked as I turned to face her. "I uh, well I was just" I stammered. I couldn't keep the feeling that my Mom would laugh at me out of my system as I let her see what I was about to do. "Emily Marie Bolton!" Mom gasped as she looked at the screen. She grinned and hugged me hard as I started to smile. "You don't think it's weird or anything?" I asked her as she looked at me. "Music is in your blood Em you get it from me and maybe a bit comes from your dad but he was always into basketball".

I should explain why I was so reluctant about telling my Mom that I was actually applying to Berklee. You see, I have 2 disorders. I am visually impaired and I have Cerebral Policy. I know it sounds stupid but I have always loved to sing. I sing every time I get upset or nervous. My father Troy Bolton came into my room and gave me a hug. "Hey princess, how's the application going?" he asked as I grinned at him. "It's coming along okay" I said. I continued to fill out the application. When it was getting late, I turned off my computer and went to sleep.
