My Anti-Drug

I don't have much to stress over but school, other than that i do not have anything else let get in the way of my comfort and happiness. However, when I let stress get to me, I like to make my own playlist of my favorite songs that relate to my certain mood. When i listen to the music, it is like my escape route. It is a different thing when i listen to the music to when I actually sing it. If i know the lyrics to the song or not, I like to go to my living room and connect the microphone and just sing, sing, sing and sing. I feel like singing has not only helped me improve my voice, but I have been able to find myself in the music and be able to capture my emotions. Music has been there for me through my toughest times, and  also through my happiness. I have learned how to express my emotions and become more open to what i am really feeling just by listening to music, and that is the greatest and most natural thing ever to me.

What I've Learned from An Inconvenient Truth

I used to not care if I left an empty plastic bag on the ground because I would expect someone else to pick up after me (I was younger, don’t judge.) As I watched this documentary, I have realized that our planet is very sensitive. I think that if we start off by picking up after ourselves, and even picking up after ignorant children like myself (when I was a child, geez!), it would make a huge difference. People will follow our steps, and eventually our planet will be greener than ever. I have learned that every person is the cause of pollution, but also every other person is the cause of a greater change. Even just ONE person can make a change. Al Gore for instance, he had mentioned that he presented his slideshow ATLEAST one thousand times, but now imagine how many times he has been presented by teachers to their classmates? And other places. That video is ten years old, but after watching Al Gore’s documentary, I think that his outstanding slideshow made a difference and is continuing to rise to the top. Especially those animated clips he introduced, those were cool.
