TASKS

She withdrew from school during the second semester of her sophomore year, in 2005, to focus on her music career.
🎤Read a book tagged art, religion, social issues or politics.

4. Many have analyzed Gaga's musical and performance style, as she has experimented with new ideas and images throughout her career. She says the continual reinvention is "liberating" herself, which she has been drawn to since childhood. Regarding her voice, Entertainment Weekly wrote: "There's an immense emotional intelligence behind the way she uses her voice. Almost never does she overwhelm a song with her vocal ability, recognizing instead that artistry is to be found in nuance rather than lung power."

Sorry, Genevieve, I must have missed the notification. Things on GR were really weird for awhile. Let us know if any other badges are missing. I know that Sweetie Pie (Lizz) has not been getting any notifications.
