My family is my second authority and that hasn’t change either. They brought me in to this world and so they should always be there to show what is right and wrong.

I want to have a degree in Criminal Justice but I still want to pursue a career in music. I also have more confidents by listening to music more and it’s got me stronger and I would love to take classes about music and learn more. I have better understanding about the world and how it works when I am listening to music. I love to listen to songs that relate to what is going on and uplifting. That’s way music will always teach me and guide me sometimes better than my own family but that’s what make it one of my moral authorities because music could make you know more than what’s put out in the world and I can tell my family about it and others. T.V. is not my authorities anymore because it’s a lot of the things on T.V. that are not real and I knew that. I realized that it doesn’t guide or direct me and it shouldn’t now that I am older I believe that T.V. has gotten worst over years but I do love watching T.V. but as a whole it shouldn’t be my moral authority. The internet shouldn’t either but we have to learn from our family and the word of god to understand good and bad so we don’t get influence by the wrong things that are on the internet, T.V., and music too. But music had an influence on my life better than T.V. or the internet. Music is part of why I am a better person and want to learn new things. Watching
