I have always loved music and it has always been an escape for me. Whenever I am stressed out or upset I just plug in my headphones and just relax my mind as I listen to the music. My dad is also very musical so I grew up with music being a huge part of my life.

I chose Ani Maamin by Eitan Katz because I love being Jewish and I have a lot of pride in my religion. Ani Maamin is hebrew for I believe and to me it has always been a staple song throughout my life. Then I chose Come Together and Here Comes the Sun, by The Beatles, because those are my dad’s favorite Beatles’ songs and they quickly became mine as well. He was always in the Oldies and that was the type of music that was constantly buzzing around my house.

Then I chose PIano Man cause it is just an awesome classic and I really love the classics. Listening to that type of music makes me thing of the fond memories I have as a child, in the car with my    dad, listening to 104.3 every morning on the way to school. They are memories I’ll always cherish and it really created a special bond between me and my dad.

Then I chose Eye of The Tiger and Burning Heart, by Survivor, because they both are about working hard and  having the drive to accomplish your goals. I have always used the difficult situations in my life to fuel my motivations. My parents always taught me that you don’t get anywhere in life without hard work and you always have to keep your eye on the prize. So these two songs really embody that mindset. Not only this, but those are also two main songs in Rocky, which is one of my favorite movies of all time. My sister and I must have seen that movie together 2 million times. So those songs also bring back amazing memories.
