In this unusually long playlist, you can see the different parts to me. From this playlist, you can see that I love to dance. Actually, it’s more like I love to have fun through dance. I am that person who is the first on the dance floor. My songs also show that though I’ve been through tough times, I always get back up. I become stronger and more motivated. I also like to help other’s realize this as well. One of my songs also shows that I love culture. The song by Ayumi was one of the first songs that sparked my interest in the Far East music culture. It is also a song that emphasizes my thoughts on judging people. You don’t know what others have been through, not until you truly find out who they are. That’s why I like getting to know people, and engaging in conversation. Though it’s hard for me to approach others. I am also a very sarcastic person. In the song Settle Down, its sarcastically speaks about rushing into what seems to be a perfect life. I believe that things takes time and work. Hope you guys listen to these great songs, and learn a bit on my taste and values. That was a really cheesy ending, I know.

Hi every one, I have compiled a few photos that i feel represent why I am the person I am today and also represent some important events in my life.

The first picture is a picture of a place I am proud to say I am from, Guyana. Its a beautiful, small english speaking country in South America and  the next picture shows one of the popular tourist sites, The Kaieture falls. I included these pictures because where I am from has shaped me into the person I am today.  Communities were closely intertwined and there was a real sense of communal effort to support the youth.

The second picture shows the most most influential people in my life. Although I have a pretty close knit family, My mom and my aunt are both strong women who have supported me in every endeavor I have taken  on. Its a great thing to know that you have a strong support system backing you. Makes you feel like you can do anything!

The next few Pictures are just of something that I Love. Music is my Thang!. I love all different types of music whether it be RnB to K-pop.  Since fall is coming very soon, I thought it would be cool to mention my fall favorites: Scarves and a CARAMEL BRULEE LATTE. ! (It’s amazing). The next few photos are just representative of  a few recent events in my life and they are as follows, Hurricane Sandy,(and on the happier side of things) Prom and graduation

I feel that these pictures accurately reflect who I am because you get a glimpse into where I’m from, what I like and a few recent events in my life, all of which have shaped me into the person  I am today
