Appreciating the short lives we live....

Throughout the past spring break, i've learned a lot. I've learned that people shouldn't take things for granted. Everyone always says that but they never really go by their own statements. People still tend to take advantage of things and not understand that nothing is eternal. Life is so precious and people should really stop complaining. They don't understand how easy they get it. People think their lives are so complicated and complain for the worst reasons. "Oh its so hard to study for a test or walk the dog or wash the dishes" but they really don't know how easy it is. Stop complaining and be with the people you love because you never know when they will leave your life. People should start appreciating what they have
For approximately 5/6 months, my mother has been battling Lymphoma. this past Spring break it got worse. She was on respiratory resort and passed away on Thursday, April 10. She was only 43 , and she was gone from mine and my families lives but with her passing I've learned a lot , many showed up for her knowing the type of person she was and the mark she made on so many peoples lives. It has showed that make your life worth something whether you touched 100 people or even one, you have done something. This has taught me that life is short and you should appreciate It for what it is and take it as it comes because you don't know when its going to be your last day. So appreciate what you have don't complain about litttle things, do what your parents ask and just know you only have one life . So live it up to the fullest.

How music changes lives.......

Music has had an affect on everyone throughout their lives and has a huge affect on our country's history as well. for example during the raoring 20's in the United States, Jazz music gave an inspiration to the people of Harlem and gave a different look on life. Music brought back joy and confidence in the country after world war one. It also has a huge affect on lives of teenagers today. I know many people who when are down listen to music to cheer them up, to get everything out of the way, to clear their minds. On the other hand there are those who listen to music to pump them up before the "big game" or just when they have fun.
Music also has had an affect on my life, it gives me something to do when I'm bored as well as pumping me up before I play any sport. It takes allows me to be tuned out from the rest of the world and lets me feel worry free. Some ones music , what they have on their ipods, their mp3s or on their computers describes the person they are. Music to some are anti-drugs , and without it our youth might have more who do drugs , who turn to violence instead of expressing their emotions in a calm conservative way.
