Anne Frank was an amazing girl, and I would still think of her in the same way even if she didn’t think of everyone as such a great heart. She kept her chin up, even in the sad and gloomy times. When there were grumpy people around her fighting over a piece of bread, Anne Frank stayed strong and happy.
I also can relate to Anne not only because of her name, but because she goes through the same things I am going through: the mood swings, the defiance, the phases, the whole teenage bit! Anne and I are very much alike. I think she would like the world today.

There are many things I am passionate about, but there is only one that really stands out in the crowd for me. You could probably tell by my ecstatic title, and it is of course music!
I love music because there are so many kinds of music for so many kinds of people. The kind of music you listen to defines you. For instance, if you listen to country music you are most likely a person who enjoys tradition and family. Also, if you like hip-hop, you most likely enjoy friends, are with it, and like to be high-fashion. Of course there are exceptions to these characteristics, and we don’t want to create stereotypes.
Young or old, music is what molds us, what opens our minds to all cultures. Listening to music is like reading. Sometimes it tells us a story, sometimes a poem, sometimes just a bunch of free-verse phrases jumbled together.
Whatever the melody, harmony, or lyrics, music is beautiful in every single way.

I have my days, good and bad. The good days make me happy and feeling fresh, but the bad ones make me on-edge and moody. I know nobody enjoys a grumpy person, so I try to experiment with whatever I can to turn my frown upside-down.
First, I turn to nature, the Narnia no one indoors can explore. The thing few people understand is that nature has so much to offer. Take fruit, for example. Although you buy it from a store with other man-make things, it was already colorful, beautiful, and perfect before man even touched it. Beautiful things make everyone smile.
I also turn to my God, and the Bible. There is nothing bigger than the power of God, and it puts a smile on my face to know that I am loved by such a great God, with a great story and amazing mercy and forgiveness. God is like my best friend. I talk the day and night over with Him through praying. I thank my God every day for my life, even on the bad days.
