Unwritten By Natasha Bedingfield

My choices have always reflected who I am and who I want to someday become. Society today strictly draws out the lines that they expect us to follow. I want to be someone that stretches out those lines. I cannot wait to go to college so I can begin writing my own story. Natasha Bedingfield has a song called Unwritten. This song as been an inspiration in my life for a while. At one point in the song she says “I break tradition, Sometimes my tries are outside the lines,

We've been conditioned to not make mistakes!” Making mistakes is part of life and, if everyone were to follow these lines “guidelines of society,” our country would never encounter the diversity and growth that we have today. I want to be the next person to step up and change

In The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, Lia Lee, who suffered from a serious form of epilepsy, faced obstacles in her treatment not only because of the doctors’ lack of complete understanding as to her condition, but her parents’ resistance to the actions of the doctors. The reason for this is twofold: a linguistic barrier prevented efficient and complete communication, and a severe cultural divide between the doctors’ ethnomedicine and traditional…

Capitalism is creating an economy where products and profits are owned by companies and individuals instead of the government.
