Music


Everyone has a passion. Sometimes it can be sports, writing, reading, family, religion, or sometimes technology. My passion is music. I love to listen and participate in any type of music. I play the clarinet and every time I play the piece it brings me to a new world. If I am listening to a song the lyrics really move me. I may change my mood, or change as a person. I listen to music that suits my feelings. When I'm bored, music entertains me. It expresses my emotion. It’s the difference between sitting in a room, bored, or being on top of the world looking down on all the events happening and having music illustrate them for you. Having music is in your life is great because it can have a sense of sound that can describe you. Music is like a drug that can make you happy when you want, sad when you want, puzzled, mad, amazed, and basically every emotion there is whenever you want it to. While reading a piece of music makes me focus on the piece instead of being all stressed out thinking of 20 things at once.
 
I didn't really like to listen or play music when I was younger but when I started to play the clarinet and fell in love with it. I have been playing the clarinet for 5 years now and the more I play the more it becomes my passion. I may not be the best clarinetist but I won't quit because music is apart of my life. Sometimes I will play or listen to songs because I want to get rid of the silence. Other times I get ideas from it. If I want to create something, I could get ideas from the music, or maybe create a scene that fits the music. It cheers me up instantly and I will never get bored listening to it. I can be quiet, and shy sometimes but when I play the more I feel I am expressing myself and the music is talking for me. When I am having a difficult time in my life I will play or listen to music and music makes me feel like I am alive. Both of my band conductors always say, "You can get all the notes right but the more you do the dynamics the more you can be musical."

The Big Bang Theory

One of my all time favorite TV show is The Big Bang Theory. For all of you that don’t know what The Big Bang Theory is about it is about a woman who moves into an apartment next door to two brilliant but socially awkward physicists and realizes how little they know about life outside of the laboratory.  There are a lot of reasons why I love this show.  One of the main reasons why I love this show is because it is hilarious.  The show has really good actors and actresses. I’m not really a scientist or a computer geek, but I love this TV show because it is nothing like the other TV series I’ve had seen. Sheldon (Jim Parsons) is one of my favorite characters in the show. I like Sheldon because he has good sarcasm that makes him funny. He also says the smartest things at the funniest times. Leonard (Johnny Galecki) is another character I like. He is easy to sympathize with, and I liked how much patience he had. He had a broader view of a situation than most of the other men on the show and he was also hilarious. The other character I love is Penny (Kaley Cuoco).  Penny is hilarious, tough, and caring. Another reason why I like Penny is because even though she has to deal with nerds she still cares for them and I love some of her actions when Sheldon or Leonard does something nerdy. When my parents were watching the show I thought the show was going to be stupid. I am really picky on these particular types of shows and when the episode was over I was in love with the show. When they have a nomination for awards I have to see if they win. Every time when they have a new episode on I cannot miss it.

My Family and Friends

“ Family and Friends are like angels. You don't have to see them, but you know they are always there.”
My family and friends are the best. They are always there when I need someone to talk to, when I am sad, or sometimes when I am struggling with something. I can always count on them if I need them. In case if something tragic happens in the family, we would be there for each other. When I need someone to talk to I don’t hesitate to ask them for help because I know they are always there for me. Usually if I have a secret, I would tell them because I can trust my family and friends. They’re always supportive and would go to some of my events for school. In case, I would have an opinion they don’t like they will support me anyways. I am so lucky to have supportive parents, and a brother that would do anything for me. I know if I were in trouble they would protect me. I know they respect me for who I am and I know they wouldn’t talk about me behind my back. If I just want to get out of the house or just do something, I could just call my friends and they would be there. My friends and family would do anything for me. I have two beautiful non-blood nieces that I love dearly. I cherish all my cousins and my Aunt Linda. I love my parents and my brother and I would do anything for them. I appreciate all of my friends and family. I would not trade them for anything. I am so lucky to have them in my life and if I didn’t have them in my life I wouldn’t know what I would do.
