Who I Am

The playlist below are the ten songs that best express who I am. Although, I do not believe that these are the only songs who describe who I am.

Who I Am (Click Link)

1. Call on Me – Eric Prydz : This song repeats the same 5 words (if you want to get technical, 3 words) “Call on me.. Call me.” Despite the simplicity of the song, it perfectly sums up how reliable I am. I am always there to help others. I also try to go above and beyond to help you all.

2. Champion – Kanye West: This is more of empowerment song for me. Gives me inspiration to be the best “Ashley” I can be. 🙂

3. I’m a Boss- Meek Millz: I get dressed to this song EVERY SINGLE MORNING. I plan on conquering the world, JK, but this inspires me in the morning.

4.  The Climb – Miley Cyrus

5. Everything is Everything – Lauryn Hill

6. Hard in the Paint – Waka Flocka Flame: My other favorite “hood” song. Everything I do is to the fullest.

7. I am Blessed – Mr. Vegas

8.  I Can – Nas

9. Dance (Ass) – Big Sean: This song sounds like it would be inspiration for a video hoe or stripper, I just like this song because it makes me dance, hence the title.

10. Redemption Song – Bob Marley

 

P.S. Notice, I didn’t fill out all the songs, you don’t have to, because the themes in the songs may be repetitive. Just explain about 5 of them, if you choose to make a playlist.

Welcome Frosh!

I just wanted to let you all know that I am extremely excited to be your peer mentor! I hope you all share the same excitement. The purpose of the blog is to give each of you the opportunity to express yourself as well as complete the 4 assignments for the course of the semester. I will try to post information that I believe would be helpful to you to succeed in your first year of college.

For your first assignment, you will have to create a 2 minute video, an eight image slideshow, or a ten song musical playlist that represent who you think you are to your classmates. Embed your creation in a blog post and then write no more than 500 words that explains how what you’ve created speaks to who you are.  Here are some free tools that  you can use for this assignment:
