Explain How What You’ve Created Speaks To Who You Are
College is something that I always knew would be a part of my life and now that it’s here, it’s made me realize how important and vital it is. Even though it is my first semester, I see how much independence and responsibility being in college requires. The songs I have chosen best represents who I am for its underlying and straight forward meanings. No. 1 is a song that best describes who we all are, just ordinary people in this world who do not have everything figured out and are still finding themselves each day. This explains me because there are so many things I have to learn to grow into a better person. No. 2 is a song that has always spoken to me. I prefer to be alone most of the time and I am beyond shy. This is something I know I will have to work on because this has been my biggest problem for as long as I can remember. No. 3 describes who I have been and would like to continue being. I enjoy helping others in any way that I can. I would gladly put them before myself and support them in order to accomplish their goals. Nos. 4-8 are all songs that reveal the ultimate truth to who I am. All I have ever wanted to be in life is successful. I have had my doubts and numerous on-going moments about what will happen in my future. I have my own dreams and things that I would like to accomplish, which of all I have to work hard to achieve. My mind is not completely made up about exactly what I want and I am sure my desires will change, however, whatever they may change to I will continue to be passionate and determined. I would like to have a life that is stable and healthy and therefore I would not allow anything to become an obstacle that I cannot overcome that would hinder what I am working towards. When all my hard work is done and if I am able to achieve my goals then I would like to think of myself as coming a long way and seeing myself in a place that I always imagined. No. 9 is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists with each word having a deeper meaning. This song is about being strong no matter what, and not allowing words or the actions of others to distract you. I look forward to my future and I would like to grow much stronger as a person. Last but not least, no. 10 is a song that explains all of those who I have cheering for me and supporting me such as my parents and sisters. Since I am considered the “baby” in my family, they all realize how independent I am and they remind me every day of all that I am capable of, therefore I want to make them proud.
