Music
Music is one thing I am extremely passionate about and simply could
not live without. I listen to music every day because it makes every
task I do better, even when its something I dont want to do. After
being told to do something I dislike, my initial thought is that I at least
have music to get me through it. Music is there for me when I have to
drive, do homework, go to the dentist, when I am bored out of my mind
and several other situations. Music is also there for me during the good
times when I want to dance, work out, and clear my head. The genres
that I am most passionate about would be hip-hop and dub step music.
The reason I gravitate towards these genres is because it helps me
take my anger out when I am mad and at the same time it can make
me get excited about doing something and even make me laugh. Every
song makes me feel and think about different things. Some songs I
associate with a certain
day/event or a
particular person.
For example, any
songs by the artist
Gucci Mane
remind me of my
best friend
because we would
always listen to
him on the way to
school senior year,
which brings back
the happy times
when I could
spend as much
time as I wanted to with her. The time when I am really grateful for
music is when I am in a hard point in my life because it always helps
me get through it. My favorite line is from a song by Future called 56
Spanish
Spanish is a huge passion in my life that I encountered sophomore year
of high school. After my first Spanish class I realized that I wanted to do
everything in my power to become fluent in it. The teacher I had
played a big role in creating my goal because she herself was so
passionate about the language and wanted to teach it well to all of her
students. I am now entering my fifth year of Spanish and couldnt be
more content. Spanish is one of the only classes I actually WANT to go
to because I just cant wait to obtain more knowledge. Knowing that
every class I attend makes me one step closer to my ultimate goal is
what allows me to have that drive to learn and succeed. I know that
reaching my goal of being bilingual will ultimately lead me to
happiness. Spanish is the second most common language spoken here
in the United States. 38.3 million people speak Spanish as their
primary language at home. That is a great deal of people and permits a
plethora of opportunities to speak with someone that you wouldnt
ordinarily have the opportunity to. Being able to speak the language
allows the unique opportunity that many miss out on. To me, knowing
two languages in general is very important because it expands your
horizons by allowing you to communicate with others. You may even
meet your best friend that you wouldnt have otherwise been able to
converse with before.
Esta fotografa muestra una pared que mi espaol de cuatro
maestro tena en su salon de clases. Cuando usted hizo una "A" en una
prueba de su nombre sera puesto en una cinta y se coloca en la pared.
Estaba tan extasiado que finalmente lo hizo a la pared porque yo haba
estado luchando ese ao y este refuerzo positivo mantuve mi cabeza
fuera del agua . Envi esta fotografa a todo aquel que saba lo mucho
que realmente me importa para el espaol.
Translated in English:
This photo shows a wall that my
Spanish IV teacher had in her
classroom. When you made an A
on a test your name would be put
on a ribbon and placed on the
wall. I was so ecstatic that I finally
made it to the wall because I had
been struggling that year and this positive reinforcement
kept my head above water. I sent this
photograph to everyone who knew
how much I truly care for Spanish.
Flaky People
In my experience, I have learned
that there are two sides to every
story, and every action has a
reaction. Even though I am highly
passionate about music and
Spanish, there are negative things
people can be just as passionate
about. Personally, I feverishly hate flaky people. Those people who
arent true to their word, are constantly late, and cancel plans at the
last minute are people I cant stand to be surrounded by. It is such a
nuisance to get excited about plans with someone only to have them
cancel on you. When I say being late bothers me, I dont mean 5-10
minutes late, I mean when people are hours late. Many of my friends
have a hard time being on time and it is just annoying when youre
expecting someone to come over or pick you up and youre just sitting
there waiting for hours. I am a pretty busy person so there are a million
other things I could be doing instead of wasting my time receiving your
I am seriously almost there text messages. I once had a friend who
would take 20 minutes to come out to my car when I arrived to pick
her up. This was back before I had my license, so my mom suffered
from this rude behavior as well. I would literally have to text her as I
was pulling out of my driveway and say here so she would be waiting
outside (the way I personally think it should be). Even then, there were
times we would have to wait and it was just ridiculous to me. Flaky
people to me are unjust and unfair and they dont have qualities that I
care to obtain.
Government
Government is another thing that I passionately hate. Now I
understand that without government this country wouldnt function but
there are just some smaller things within the government that bother
me to my wits end. My most passionate dislike is the idea from a
Democrats standpoint that people who have more money should owe
