What Music Means to Me

I like singing. I'm not good at it, but every time I sing I feel better. If I'm sad I get happy and if I'm already happy I get excited. I like music that has great lyrics but most of the time this kind of music gets me sad, hence, I don't listen to music very much. However, I also like music that pumps me up and especially music that I can sing along to, even when the lyrics are HORRIBLE. I like listening to Spanish love songs. I listen to music most when I'm sad or working out. I find that I tend to feel best when I run while listening to "Fat-Bottom girls" by Queen. I wouldn't choose to listen to music, but when I do I love listening to hip-hop from the early 2000s because its just so energetic. I love to listen to Pink Floyd to relax, Queen when I'm cleaning or in the shower, and Coldplay when my world is crashing down. MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLACE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC IS IN A CAR. I LOVE to sing while I'm in the passenger seat while my window rolled down. My favorite song changes a lot but for sure these two songs will always be special to me: "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses and "Time" by Pink Floyd.

Problems and Struggles

Though our school is not very diverse in ethnicity, it is very diverse in the types of problems kids face. One student's biggest concern may be dealing with a horrible teacher, at the same time that another student is dealing with a breakup, while another is dealing with drug addiction or depression. I think being in the magnet affects a student's possible problems because these students tend to give more importance to different things, not necessarily better just different. ANY problem is important, breakups, bad grades, domestic issues, because they all affect students enough to cause discomfort or emotional pain. I think at Bell High School, problems have a wide range within as little as one student; the same student who cried during a test can also feel the pain of domestic violence or drug addiction. Problems can rise from home, from bullying at school, or from stress due to a heavy course load. I have not experienced as many problems as some of my peers, however, I think it is important for every problem to given attention to, not matter how big or small t may seem to one person. Only the individual dealing with the issue can accurately feel the weight of each individual problem.

The Most Interesting Person I Know

I find all of my friends interesting, but I cannot listen to anyone just talk for hours. I cannot find listening for hours to be interesting no matter how unique that person's stories may be. I think conversations, stories, and topics are interesting but not people. So I'm writing about a fictional character named Inuyasha. Inuyasha is a half dog demon, half human individual who lives in a mythical land down a well in Japan. In his world demons and magic exist. It is a world full of fearful things and incredible sights. I think the only person I could listen to forever without interruption or conversation is Inuyasha because I would just love o hear about his world.
