My blog is called "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" for multiple reasons.  Firstly, one of the most common jokes people make about me, second only to height jokes (and those are just so funny, ha ha), is the classic reference to The Wizard of Oz when they find out that I'm from Kansas.  In a way, having my blog title reflect that is a bit of an homage to where I came from, which is part of who I am.  I also tend to relate the song fromThe Wizard of Oz for which my blog is named to when I first started out with what has become an integral aspect of who I am: music.  When I first auditioned for show choir, I was asked to sing that very song, and from the moment I became part of show choir, the rest is history.  I now absolutely love performing and I am so grateful for the opportunities I have had, all stemming from that one song I had to sing at the beginning of my freshman year.  All in all, I think my blog title represents a sort of wistful hope that we all feel at some point in life, looking toward what we hope can be a better tomorrow - it's just that most of us don't get swept away by tornadoes to find it.  We must go and find it ourselves.
