I Believe I Can Fly

Improved Essays
One of the hardest jobs there is, is to get people to believe in themselves. I found two songs that I use to help encourage, inspire, motivate, and build self - esteem. Peer-pressure can be devastating to most people. Juveniles, adolescent, teen years, and some people perhaps in their adulthood face peer-pressure. The Greatest Love recorded by the late Whitney Houston is telling us no matter what others think of you, you must believe in yourself. Children are our future, we must allow them to explore and spread their wing. R Kelly’s song, “I Believe I Can Fly” is another song that helps build self - esteem in our children If you can dream it you can achieve it. With all of the today’s problems, poverty, broken families, single moms, children

    Music can have severe implications on life, especially during times of war, and the Civil War era is no exception. Anterior to Fort Sumter in South Carolina, enslaved African Americans were singing songs in the fields about freedom and living without the bonds of slavery. Abolitionists and slavery supporters alike produced and sang songs to bring indecisive members of the public to their side. Indeed, there were many quabbles over slavery, and ever since the Three-Fifths Compromise of 1787, music had been affecting the way many people thought and voiced their opinions on slavery. Music is evident in every aspect of life- including war; therefore, music contributed a major factor to the American Civil War- in psychological influence, battle, and public life.…

    Low Self-esteem and Compromising Behaviors Among Adolescents Self esteem issues in adolescents is a hugely common issue, but there are rarely any studies done to examine how it has an effect on an adolescent’s life.

The purpose of this journal is to understand whether adolescents with low self esteem are more likely to engage in inappropriate behaviors such as early sexual activity, drug use, and poor nutrition and hygiene habits by using various…

    During my High-School career I have had the opportunity to lead kids through music but I am most proud of the kids that I have worked with in Horn Choir.

In horn choir I was able to encourage kids that I have student taught to join my organization. Little did I realize it, two of the younger kids participated in self-harm (cutting themselves). After realizing this shocking news I realized that Horn Choir was not just a fun activity for them, it was something that gave them hope and made them forget their own depression.…

    At only 7 years old, in August of 2005, I received the most devastating news anyone my age could have received.
