What Music Means to Me

Music, it is the one thing that the majority of us say is necessary in our daily lives. Although I do not take the time to listen to music very often, it is still something that I consider very valuable; you could even say that music is what helps to keep me positive. When I listen to music, I do not stick to a particular genre; I simply listen to a song because I genuinely enjoy it or because it provides me with a sense of nostalgia. Whenever I hear a song now that I used to hear often as a child, I can't help but think back fondly of the days of my past. After a tiring or stressful day, I listen to music to relax and unwind. Since I do not have an iPod, I usually go onto YouTube to look up music as well as music videos. It is hard to pinpoint, but I suppose that it is the creativity in the beat, the visuals, and the singer's voice that makes me appreciate all the talent and ingenuity in this world.

Problems and Struggles

There are several students at Bell High School, all of whom have their own problems and struggles. Unfortunately, I am only aware of a few of these problems. I happen to know of some students who are burdened by all of their advanced placement classes. While the excessive work may seem like something trivial, it is only a factor in their problem. Some students have major responsibilities like working to support their family financially or taking care of a sick parent. Ultimately this leaves little time to focus on homework or studying for tests. As a result, some these students' grades have dropped and have only increased the amount of stresses in their lives. It is the excessive amount of responsibilities placed on these individuals that is the main source of their problems. Not only that, but some student find it difficult to come across money, which may force them to miss out on things like Grad Night, or even a college education. These are only some of the problems that high school students face.

The Most Interesting Person in the World

The most interesting person I know would probably have to be my older sister Sheila. I say this not because of a long list of accomplishments, but rather a long list of experiences of which I can say for certain do not apply to the "average Joe". Her experiences do not portray her as an "outstanding citizen" , but they certainly are interesting. From being arrested to even struggling between her family and her vices, my older sister has seen it all. While I would not like to disclose the details of her experiences, I will say that they provide a unique point of view of someone who has indeed lived a genuinely difficult life. Whenever I talk to her, I try to learn from her experiences and apply what I learn to my very own life. In a way talking to her also allows me to relive a moment in time that not many people get to experience for themselves. It is because of this ability to share rare life experiences that I consider my sister Sheila as the most interesting person I know.
