who am I and what am doing in this course

The first song I choose is Michael Jackson’s “you are not alone”. (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/michaeljackson/youarenotalone.html) I like it, because I’m a girl that always feels I’m alone and I am really afraid of being alone. So, the song told us there’s still somebody with us. Also, I have friends and I have lots of people that I love and love me. Thus, I know I’m not alone and I don’t need to be afraid. Like in the lyrics, it says “in the morning, in the evening, not alone, not alone, you and me, not alone.” It’s true that I came to America by myself so I miss my hometown and I miss my family in China, but I found new friends and found there are many great people. Then, I’m not alone anymore.

On the other hand, I also like Michael Jackson’s “we are the world”. (http://www.songlyrics.com/michael-jackson/we-are-the-world-lyrics/) It’s a song that gives people lots of hope. From the song, it says, “we are the world, we are the children, we are the one to make a brighter day”. It’s like we are the hope of the world, it tells us everyone is important. Then, it’s like we all have responsibility to the world, we have things that we need to do. We will make a brighter day, and that’s why I need to be myself and I need to do something for the world. It doesn’t matter what I will do is big or small, but I need to do something. I should be hardworking, because I need to do something for making a brighter world. So, it also motivates me to work hard and to be a better person.

Thirdly, I want to talk about Miley Cyrus’ “The climb”. (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/mileycyrus/theclimb.html) It tells people a positive attitude for doing things. It’s like when I’m climbing a high mountain; I always want to give up because that’s a really long distance and difficult to stick out. But lastly, I would still tell me that I’m nearly arriving and still climbing the mountain. Then after a long distance, I would lastly arrive at the top. And I would love the scene on the top of the mountain. Then, it’s like all the pay out during this process is worth. “Sometimes might knock me down, but No I'm not breaking I may not know it, but these are the moments that I'm gonna remember most, yeah Just gotta keep goin”. The song is just talk about this. So I really need to never give up. When you reach what you want to reach, you cannot imagine how great that is.

Lastly, for the academic goals I want to gain this year are, I want to get an A in this class, I want to improve my grammar, and I want to learn the American way to think and write.
