A soundtrack is a recording of the musical accompaniment to a movie. The purpose of the soundtrack is about the promoting of the movie and the setting the mood and enhancing the scenes in a film. A soundtrack of my life would be a great story that has nice songs that have a lot of connection to my life. The three songs that I will like in my soundtrack are “I Wanna Know” by Joe , Jordin Sparks’ “One Step at a Time” and “Mad” by Neyo.

In “I Wanna Know” by Joe, he wants to treat his girl better than the previous guy did.  He says, “You kiss my lips and then you take my breath away.”  The reason I pick this as my first song is because it reminds me of my wedding day. It makes me smile because that is the relationship I have, and I have someone who understands me. My husband loves me and always tells me that he cares about me.

Jordin Sparks’ “One Step at a Time” sends the message to people that if they want something, they need to take small steps, because it takes time to accomplish any goals and dreams. The lyrics “we live and we learn to taken one step at a time” stood out to me because I want to take things step by step in my life. One day I want to appreciate each accomplish and struggle that I went through to reach into my goals and be happy about it.

Mad” by Neyo is a lesson to people who do not easily get over conflicts or grudges. Instead of staying mad at people, listening to each other will help resolve problems. I can sympathize the most with the lyrics “Cause I can’t sleep through the pain; girl, I don’t want to go to bed,” because this is how I feel when I am mad at someone. I will not go to bed until I work things out with that person. I do not want to wake up in the morning with an unresolved issues in my life and negative feelings.

My soundtrack says that I’m a great person who likes to work towards my goals and stay dedicated. I would make a soundtrack to express my mood and to listen to the songs as a self-reminder of my perspectives, motivations and intentions in life. My song choices portray my passion, either for work or for people I love. I suggest the readers make their own soundtrack to express their ambition and personal philosophies.

"Inocente" Blog

 The documentary" Inocente", directed by Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine, is about a young homeless girl, who is aspired to become an artist. She becomes homeless after her mother runs away with her and her brothers, because she had an abusive father. She started painting her face, which led her to become a painter. She lives in the streets and has to take showers in public bathrooms. Her mother makes income through recycling collected cans and bottles. Painting helps her cope with her situation. Inocente successfully sells all of her painting and gains independence by moving out.

 I like it because it shows that people can move on despite having obstacles and being trouble. In the video you see a young girl who loves to paint. She has a lot of passion for art. She has financial problems at home, but tries her best to keep up at school. People at her school do not know that she is homeless. She doesn't give up hope of achieving her dream and becoming an artist.
 My Opinion is about finding personal support by valuing life and appreciating even the smallest prizes in life. My opinion is significant because it emphasizes on the idea that people should not give up instead, they should learn to appreciate what they have and continue to accomplish their goals. The readers might benefit from my opinion because it could help them think about their lives and what they have, and learn to be grateful for their lives and what they have.
