It can persuade us to buy something or remind us of our first date. In music, we can find peace and joy. And when nothing else can, it can lift us up, and get us dancing to its beat. Yip Harburg, an American popular song lyricist once said “Words make you think. Music makes you feel. But a song makes you feel a thought.” At the Dual Diploma program, we wanted to turn all of our values and ideas into a song. So the song contest was born.  \nThe Dual Diploma program organized for the first time a schoolwide song competition, allowing the students the opportunity to show off their singing or musical talent by creating our school song. The requirements were that the students must incorporate the school mission statement in some way.“Our mission is to ensure we create a learning environment that fosters student achievement while providing a personalized learning experience for every student. AIS students are part of an international network of learners where innovation fuels both success and responsibility for global stewardship,” said Kristine Smythers, the Dual Diploma teacher teacher responsible for creating this contest.  \n“We wanted the students to be able to show off their creativity while at the same time incorporating our school's mission statement,” said Smythers. She talked to us about the process of selection, and she emphasized how difficult it was to choose a winner because there were a lot of good artists. They received more than two hundred applications with forty-four song submissions. The Building Community Team of teachers met to choose their top seven songs and from there, administrators narrowed it down to five students. They then narrowed it down to the top three contestants, when they shared the songs, a biography of each student, and the lyrics with all ofthe teachers. In the end, the teachers made their votes and chose the winner. After much consideration and careful review of all the songs, the teachers and staff selected Alberto Rodriguez Sanz, also known as Armus, and his song We're Sisters and Brothers as the winner of the competition. Alberto’s song was truly inspiring and motivational. He demonstrated a deep understanding of our school’s mission statement and conveyed it beautifully through his lyrics.  \nAlberto is a fifteen-year-old Spanish student from Madrid with a passion for music. That is the reason why he spends a lot of his time singing and composing, as well as playing instruments like the piano, which he has learned since very little, or the guitar and the drums, in which he is self-taught. In the future, he would love to study music and his dream is to become a famous singer.  \nAlberto said that at first, he was not sure about participating but finally, as he loves music, he thought it was an opportunity he could not miss.“I had nothing to lose and I let my creativity fly,” he stated. From Alberto’s perspective, music is more than a hobby to the point he considers it “the inspiration for my whole life.” Nevertheless, composing a new song is not an easy process since there are a lot of things to bear in mind such as the rhythm, the lyrics, etc.“I started thinking of different things I could include in the song such as sentences, melodies, or just a catchy rhythm. I started composing the song with lots of ideas and then organized them in verses, chorus…and with some changes, the lyrics started to come out.”  \nBut, how did Armus feel when he found out he was the winner? At first, he could not believe it, but suddenly, he realized that it was his first official award, and he had won it thanks to his creativity. Finally, this contest has been a perfect opportunity for him to start making his aspirations come true.
