Why I chose Wright state

I chose Wright State for a few reasons. Reasons #1 and #2 are the music faculty and a scholarship.
I was, and continue to be, very impressed with the music teachers here. They love what they do and love to teach others how to do it. It's one thing to teach music to people, but there is a world of difference between those who teach as an occupation, and those who teach it because it's their passion. When someone is enthusiastic about their work, it's contagious! Even when their job doesn't look like it's particularly fun, you still want to try it when you see them enjoying it so much.

Shortly after auditioning for Wright State, I got a wonderful phone call informing me that I was given a scholarship. I am very blessed to have received this award. I am enjoying school so far and hope to continue enjoying throughout the next few years.

Another reason for attending Wright State is that it's close to home. Without having to rent an apartment, I can put the money that would have been spent on rent to help cover tuition costs and various other expenses. (Gas, food, etc.)

All things considered, Wright State seems to be a sensible choice for me at this time.

The house that built me

This song is rather interesting to think about it. The lyrics carry a message which could easily be applicable to almost anyone. Even if you happen to dislike this song, or the genre it is written in, please just bear with me and read the lyrics provided in the video.

The tune of the song is soft and soothing, relaxing. It almost seems as though the melody could be a lullaby. The reason for that being, that memories, or recollections, are often seen in a peaceful, serene setting. The way in which they have woven the melody of the song and the words together is brilliant.

I opened this particular blog by arguing that this song can be applicable to almost anyone. That statement should become clear as I address the rhetorical situations.

The purpose of this song could be to take the listeners back into their past. The singer, in this case Miranda Lambert, is able to focus the attention of the audience on a past memory, or relate with the story that she is creating. By intertwining memories and music together, Ms Lambert has a powerful tool for capturing people’s emotions.

The audience of this song could literally be anyone. The lyrics touch on childhood memories. Hand painting hand prints on a surface around the house, in this case, the front porch steps. The loss of a pet, a yearning for childhood, a respect for parents, venturing out into the world for the first time; almost everyone living experiences at least one of these situations at one point in their lives.

The stance of this song seems to be self-evident. I would state my stance and that of the authors to be opinionated and passionate. The genre of the song is country, and of course, its medium is audio, or music.

Thoughts on a college life

It's the first week of school, and excitement is still in the air. With every new school year, goals are accomplished, and for some, dreams become a reality. Is it just good fortune that happens to shine upon those who succeed? What about those who do not make it to graduation? Those whose dreams fall apart, whose goals are not accomplished? College seems to be a bitter-sweet experience for many. Sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding.

Hi everyone, hope you guys are having a good week so far. Perhaps a question on some of our minds is how to cope with the stress involved in striving to complete course work and achieve good grades. While there may not be a single solution that works for every student, there are certain things you can do that might help.

Getting a good night's sleep and making sure you are hydrated will help your ability to focus on the task at hand. Stretching out your arms, legs, neck, etc. will help your blood to flow a little faster, thereby, relieving a feeling of exhaustion. These tips and others such as: eating nutritious food, taking notes, and doing homework immediately following the class, (if you are able), while the material is still fresh in your mind will help tremendously during your journey through college.

The amount of work demanded of teachers at times can seem to be overwhelming. There will most likely be times when you become discouraged, or tired. Find a way to channel that negative energy out of your body. You can use negative energy in such a way so it has a positive effect, not only on you, but also on others. For example: writing poetry, composing music, playing a musical instrument, going for a walk, working out, or blogging (just posting some of your thoughts). Maybe someone will be able to relate, or can give you advice about your situation.

I hope this might be of some help. Perhaps this is a bit early in the quarter to be talking about stuff like this, but if you can use these tips now, than maybe you will not even have to worry about being discouraged, or becoming overwhelmed. Keep your focus strong! May God bless!
