FRO 14 DFA

Hi guys! I’m Daniela Tamarova and I chose to create a musical playlist that I think describes me. This musical playlist may not show you exactly who I am, but I think it shows who I want to be. I started with Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” because it is not only one of the most inspirational songs I know but it is also a very big part of my childhood. I spent my summers at a summer camp where this song was almost like a motto so it just stuck with me through life. It always helped me remember that I will survive no matter what. “Fighter” is another song that also helps me remember that I am stronger than whatever life throws at me. I picked the songs by Boney M. and ABBA not only because they are upbeat and cheery. I also chose them because I have been dancing since I was three years old and “Dancing Queen” was always my favorite track to dance to when I was a toddler. “Sonny” was actually one of the first songs that I performed to when I was younger so it has a special place in my heart. The songs “Born This Way” and “Ain’t Nothing Wrong With That” help me remember that everyone is different and perfect in their own way. I am a firm believer that neither I nor anyone around me has the right to judge anyone else and these songs are a perfect reflection of that. The songs “Man In The Mirror”, “Dare You”, and “Chasing Cars” are very inspirational for me. “Man In The Mirror” sends a message of bettering yourself before judging others and “Dare You” is like a challenge to get up and do something. “Chasing Cars” and “I’ll Be There For You” are not just about being supportive but also about having great friends and being a great friend. I chose these two songs because I like to think that I am a great friend and I know that if any of my friends needed my help with anything, I would be there for them. I hope the playlist gives you a little bit of insight into the type of person that I am.

Songs That Describe Me

Hey guys; my name is Florence Moses but most people call me Flo. These images symbolize the things that I value in life. I’m an avid romantic novel reader; well I used to be when I had the time. Reading a novel is an outlet to me. It is an escape from an evil world to a virtuous world. Reading is the only way of releasing all of my deep emotions which include frustration, anger, and sadness. I also love to dance whether it’s Hip pop, Afro pop or traditional Ghanaian dances. The people in the fourth image are doing a dance called “Adowa”. It’s a beautiful dance that originated from Ghana. Even though I’m not really good at it; I try to make it look good whenever I do it; it’s performed at festivals and special occasions.

I love babies! I know that sounds very silly but I do. Babies are so tiny, cute, and adorable. My dream is to become an obstetrician so I can hold those tiny creatures every day of my life. I would describe myself as a family-oriented person. I love my mom and my sisters; even though they don’t know it; and that is my fault because I never told them. It’s going to be hard to move away from home, when the time comes for me to start a new chapter of my life. Another fact about me is that I’m very indecisive. I’m always stuck between two decisions. So often times, I ask others for their opinion which sometimes isn’t in my best interests. I’m a believer and so God is a big part of my life. The Last image is of a symbol known as “Gye Nyame” which translates to English as “except for God.” It represents two of the attributes of God which are Omnipotence and omnipresence; so fear no one except God.

Hi everyone! My name is Veronica and these are just some things I feel represent who I am. My favorite comic to read is Archie’s Weird Mysteries. It used to be a show too, but it was discontinued. There was one character in the show named Veronica Lodge, and that’s where my parents got my name from. I am a short person. It sucks. Sometimes I wish people would stop  using my head as an arm rest or making me walk under their arm when they’re  holding the door for me. That’s just cruel. I’ve always wanted a ukulele and so my parents finally bought me one on my 16th birthday. It’s probably the best birthday gift I’ve gotten so far. Plus, it’s small like me so it’s easy for me to play it. Hahas. I love watching scary movies. My favorite one is Insidious. I also watched the sequel to it. It wasn’t so bad. I love traveling and in the future I hope to travel the world. I want to visit Australia as well as countries in Europe. Music is the best thing that has been invented. I listen to music all the time. I feel that it enhances whatever mood I’m in at the moment. That’s So Raven will forever be my favorite TV show. It’s sad that the show ended. It was so hilarious. Lastly, shopping is my cardio. I love to shop. I hate to admit it, but I spend a lot of money on clothes. However, it is really hard for me to find clothes my size. I’m always tempted to buy kids clothes cause they’re cheaper, but their designs are just plain ugly.

Hi! My name is Samantha and each photos represents who I am and what I like to do. Two years ago I adopted Hazel from an animal shelter and that was one of the best moments that happened in my life. I have always wanted a dog and I was finally able to have one. People say dogs are a man’s best friend and I totally agree with that. They are there for you no matter what. I always love going on adventures and one of my biggest dream is to travel around the world. I spend my free time on netflix watching movies or catching up with T.V. shows. And whenever I feel creative, I like to paint or DIY something. I’m not good at it, but it’s something I like to do. Whenever I’m out, I like to try new restaurants or cafes. And of course take pictures of the food and instagram it. My favorite thing to do is to go shopping. I love shopping for new items to put into my closet.
