My group and I decided to use culture as our topic due to the fact that all of us share different cultures. Our cultures are what makes us who we are. Each of us came into Baruch with a different perspective, and we decided that we should share our perspective with our peers, in order for them to understand us better. The articles we chose illustrated a part of our culture that we wanted to share. My article was about the history of Jamaica. It grabbed my attention because it incorporated both food and music (and everyone knows I love food and music). We were not concerned about culture in Baruch because Baruch actually highlights it. However, we wanted to express our appreciation for different cultures being permeated throughout our school.

Who Am I?

Everyone has their moments where they need some words of encouragements, but not through the voices of the people they know. It feels great when a singer portrays the same emotions that you feel at that moment, which gives the listeners the opportunity to utilize songs to illustrate who they are. “Wrong Address” illustrates a woman who constantly gets knock down even though she is always on her “A” game, even academically. That is who I am. I get knock down but still find a way to get back up. As Miley Cyrus sings in “The Climb”, I tell myself that there will always be another obstacle for me to face and I just have to overcome it. In “I Smile” and “I Gotta Believe” it encourages the listener to believe in the man above. I believe in him and believe that I can become a champion, conquer and thrive,like Rihanna sings in “Fly” and Katy Perry sings in “Roar” . I am the change you see in the world. In “My Life” and “Ghetto Story” these artists illustrate the things they have seen and experienced in the area in which they lived. I am one who learns from different experiences,whether it’s mine or yours. In addition, I am a person who love to feel free and jovial, “Holiday”, and “I love it” helps to define these traits.
