Country music has recently become my favorite genre of music. I used to just listen to the same stuff as everyone else, but I just don't enjoy any of that anymore. The main reason why I love it so much is because a lot of it has good meaning to it. They talk about family, love, hard work, and standing up for what you believe in.
The film Independence Day contains one of the most inspirational speeches I've ever seen.
In this clip the fate of humanity is literally on the line, and it's all threatened by an alien invasion. The President of the United States rallies troops from all over the world to work as, he says, "mankind". The whole movie is about how people from all walks of life can unite and come together was one, despite racial or ethnic differences. Even though this is a fictional movie, the morals of selfless sacrifice and coming together to fight for what's important, ring true.
The photo above is a panoramic photo of Paris, France.
This city holds a special place in my heart, and holds 4 years of my life.
When I was 12 my Dad got a job that involved us packing up and moving to France for 4 years. The city shown above was where I spent many hours with good friends creating unforgettable moments. This created an environment where I could learn french fluently and really experience French and other European cultures. Throughout those four years I visited 17 countries, including Turkey, Croatia, Greece, and Thailand. My favorite vacation I went on was to Thailand, mainly because I fulfilled my lifelong dream of riding and elephant!
I can never be too grateful for the experiences I had in France and in my travels elsewhere around the world.
