Where Do You Go From Here?

Music && Technology.

Music is a major part of my life. There is always that one song that can relate to the way I feel. I listen to almost all kinds of music because I like the variety and I usually compare songs of different genres to realize how different they are, but also their similarities. It helps me concentrate and calm down from whatever events the day had to offer. Everyone is different and therefore entitled to their own opinions. I personally dislike it when people label each genre to a certain culture or race because music is made for everyone to listen to and decide whether they like it or not. Music helps a lot of people through tough moments in their lives so in my opinion, there is no logic behind why a person of a certain race should only listen to a specific genre.

My cell phone is very important to me because I use it to communicate with my friends all the time. I'm always on the phone with them just to discuss the day's news and events and of course, gossip!

I also use Facebook and Msn as means of communication because it helps me keep in touch with my family and friends. Yes, I do think that it sorta ruins our lives, but what can I say? it also betters it in more ways that we think. Now, I know that adults think that all of this is pointless because they turned out just fine although they didn't have these gadgets. Why do they try to stop us from using technology? They know we aren't going to refrain from it fully. I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but i think that the information should be put out their for the people to decide whether they want to use it or not.

Special Olympics

I volunteer for Special Olympics Bowling. At first, I did it because I needed 40 hours of community service, but I've stuck with it because I love it. I score keep for people with disabilities. Just going there every week made me realize that they can do almost everything that we can do, just in a different way. The people I have met there have truly remarkable personalities and are some of the most genuinely friendly people I have ever met in my life. Volunteering for Special Olympics is one of the major aspects in my life and is very important to me because it keeps me grounded and down to earth. This song basically illustrates how people are judged by their appearance a lot and the media initiates it but it's obvious that just because people are different, it doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with them!

Find A Way To Smile And Never Let It Get Awaay! ~ The Faaam and Creeeew. :D

Hmm, what matters to me? Well, my family and friends mean the WORLD to me. I am certain that I wouldn't be the person I am today without them in my life.

Starting with my AMAZING family, my dad and myself share the same sense of humour and we also get along extremely well because of our love for music. My mom, on the other hand is someone that I can talk to about a lot of stuff and she helps me through a lot of problems. My 10 year old sister Andrea is probably the funniest person I know because she is crazy and doesn't care about what others think. My 6 year old sister Katelyn, is kinda chubby so I love to bug her about it but she never fails to put up a fight.

Moving on to my AWESOME friends, Caryn is my unofficial twin sister because apparently we look identical. We are best friends and are together all the time! We are an unstoppable force when put together because we are just cool like that. I must add that we like taking many pictures together, which is why most of my pictures on Facebook have her in them. Andre is my unofficial big brother and although I do bully him 99% of the time, I know he has my back regardless. Some people play the drums or play sports to release their anger, I just punch Andre :). He thinks he has fan a.k.a my sisters, but he really doesn't and since I'm a nice person, I let him have his 15 minutes of fame! Bronson always has awesomely unique hairstyles and for some reason, likes to steal my food and bother me about my water bottle. Rohini is starting to live up to my expectations for her to join the sugar club *tear tear* and we have an awesome handshake despite what other people think or say. Victoria is incredibly smart and is the go-to person when having problems. Jan is the funny one who sings weird songs from Disney movies in the halls. Emily Stea and Emily Mcgaugh are ironically best friends and are always together talking about sports and other cool stuff. When I'm with Darling, I seem to be sillier, "Hot guy at 3:00!" Jessica always tells me weird stories which seem to catch my attention some way or another. JP and I are trying to go for a world record, and though we aren't very close to it now, we will get there some day! He is a sneaker collector and is very protective over his brightly coloured shoooes! His favourite wooord is 'dun knoooe!' Rytvika always has boyfriend issues but I take it upon myself to help her solve them and be happy. There are lots of other people I could introduce and explain, but as of right now these are the people I interact and have fun with the most. My family and friends are the most important aspects of my life because somehow they define me. <3
