Recommended: Self-perception theory

The songs “Stronger”, “Remember the Name”, and “I’ll Show You” all go along with a big theme in my life. Since I had surgery a big saying in my life has been, “always be bigger, better, faster, and stronger.” As I have started to recover, I remind myself everyday to do my exercises. Even though I hate doing them, I know that they make me stronger than I was the day before. It may be painful some days, but I know that if I continue to work hard and show people that I can get through this they will remember my name. Not because I’m the girl who got injured, but because I’m the girl who got injured and came back bigger, better, faster, and stronger than ever before. First of all, the song “Stronger” by Kanye West fits in with this theme

    The way I can use his example to inspire me is by doing things even though my first thoughts are “no” or “don’t”. I need to step up my game. Although doing physical training outside of work isn’t something I do often nor is it something I’m completely afraid of I need to step it up. I want to hang with the big boys and by that I mean lift what my body build should be able to life. I am afraid of lifting something to heavy or with the wrong form. To show my personal courage I need to face my fear with just education. Some of the medics wouldn’t mind putting me under their wing and helping me with my form and I would be able to improve in that area of physical training.

  • Analysis of In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins

    310 Words  | 1 Pages

    "In The Air Tonight" is a strophic composition produced by Phil Collins. The aria consists of an electronic drum set an electric guitar and a prophet to add an additional fullness to the song. The exposition of the monody is at an adagio tempo. The electronic drum kit repeats a drum pattern with 12 drum hits in each loop, while accenting on every third beat {eg.1-2-1-2-1-2-1-22-1-2 | 11-2-1-2-1-2-1-22-1-2}. In the middle of the first loop the electric guitar roars a triple stopping that drags on for fifteen seconds, and is quickly followed by the sound of a nymph sounding guitar riff in the background accompanied by the prophet. The prophet presents the main melody of the song. A series of warm instruments accompany the drum pattern followed by the sound of Phil Collins's tenor voice reverbed a tad to add an eerieness to the song. He first announces in a slightly whispered, muffled voice:

    While on a recent carefree jaunt throughout Harlem, I was introduced to the lyrical genius of one “Big L.” As is common of all true artists, Mr. L passed before his time, but not without a legacy. You see, it is the will of the Almighty Himself that I elucidate the meaning of Mr. L’s first major work, “Put it On,” in order for it to be made accessible to the common man and the upper crust alike, so that this truly majestic piece may live for eternity in the bosom of humankind. To this end, I have composed a line-for-line translation of the complex, sophisticated diction, which, I expect, will henceforth serve as the standard through which all scholars will study this master of the English language.

  • Personal Essay On Fencing

    440 Words  | 1 Pages

    The worst words I’ve heard in my time fencing. These words sparked a long and boring two months of nothing. No running no fencing, no unnecessary movement. This long sabbatical has sparked great change, transcended my athletic self and influenced who I am as a person, through the ways it unleashed a new level of work ethic in my athletic self. Before I was injured I had it quite easy, do to a large amount of time I had spent fencing I could obtain success with relative ease. But now, I have no such ease. I had lost my point control and most of my footwork. An average person may have seen this as terrible and an end, but I’ve seen it as a beginning of new potential. This beginning has forced me to work at a redoubled rate, pushing myself to great extents to achieve the prowesses I once held. I developed habits of work, the days of half-assed practices and little effort are over. I have been motivated in a better way to change my habits and force myself to attain the greatness I desire in even better ways than before my injury. Not only did I apply this to my fencing life, but I have applied this to who I am as a person. I have taken the lessons learned in diligence and applied it to my school work, in any class where I have any struggle I make an appointment with the teacher and I complete every homework assignment as soon as possible. I have made the worst moment of my fencing career into the best. This is how
