life unexpected
we need a change. that's the great hting about rain. we get sunshine like 99.99% of the time in socal. it's good, we need a change. rain is a mystery. just like beethoven is. how can someone who was deaf create such beautiful music?there's something about music that is completely revolutionary. we need a change. everything little thing we do, it affects others. we need to take a stand in the world we're living in. we can't just sit passively watching time pass by, then complaining and ranting if we don't do anything about it. just like what ms han said, "if you didn't vote, you can't complain about what is going on in the us" if you want your opinion to count, you gotta do something. get up, and do anything, whether it be impulsive and completely stupid or just a little thing to help someone, maybe you can make someone's day. beethoven is certainly revolutionary. the guy was deaf but he created masterpieces. he had to jump through hurdles, go against all odds just to do what he loved to do.
we need a change. we need to stop being apathetic. it's going nowhere. stand up for what you believe in. do something! i love that phrase, it just epitomizes my life. screw school, screw my horrible gpa, screw all the lectures i get from my parents who don't understand and are just way tooo conservative. what's the point of going through all of this crap if you don't get anything out of it. well, my main regret is, i waasn't brave enough to stand up to my parents, and to DO SOMETHING about it sooner when I was a freshmen. Art and music could have been my dream.
I admire Beethoven. He overcame all obstacles, and it seems like me, who has a lot to be grateful for, couldn't even stand up for myself, raise my voice when i was in 8th grade.
we need a change.
go out there and althought our lives are busy, what with college apps, and ap classes, and swim practice, and dress rehearsals, we need to think outside of the box.
Recently, I have been raising money by selling these "gleek" shirts and to donate the profits to Save the Music Foundation by VH1. to raise money to keep music and arts education in schools. I gave these shirts out FOR FREE. what bothered me the most was the pitiful "donations" i received. i handed out 30. my friend handed out another 30. and the profit comes to a whopping $50. honestly, i'm not going to say people suck. i'll j ust say the economy sucks, but what can i say??
i think we can all make a change through TEAMWORK. it cannot be a one man show.
it can't just be one person doing all of the work.
we gotta all take some initiative and DO SOMETHING because if we won't, who will? i ask myself that everyday.
and what frustrates me the most is that my parents dont support me. who cares about the world as long as i can get into the college i want? well, there's more to life than that. Don't sit idly by. Because time will swallow you, and no one will give a !@#$ about you because you don't matter.
