My Way Of Life

In this video I included some aspects of my life that I thought were meaningful. Some of these include, my interests, what I like to do, those who influence me, and those who play a big role in the life I am currently living in. These aspects relate to how I live my life especially as an American, it reflects some of my values and beliefs.

Some positives about the aspects of my life are being able to do the things I enjoy doing like, drawing, dancing, volleyball, or hanging out with my friends and being able to have people in my life who influence me and advise me when needed. Some bad things are having to choose between the things and people who are positive aspects of my life or being faced with problems that prevent me from being able to do the things I enjoy.

Some things I would like to have included in the video were, a few specific things that I do in my every day life such as, watching TV or being on the computer because those things seem more realistic for me to put because I do spend a lot of time doing those things. Or maybe include some things from school since I spend a lot of time my at school.

A general pattern I notice in my life is based around groups of people. In Volleyball, I'm on a team, in performances, it's a group of with other performers, I always have family there for me, and I always have my family with me. The only thing I do on my own is sketching. I'm not sure where the direction of my life is going, which is basically what the song in the video is saying.

I think the way i life is similar to the typical American way of life because, just like any other American teenager, I have my friends, my family, my school, and my interests but I live it in my own special way with other specifications that might not be the American way of life. For example, my father is a musician, which I am completely pround of, whereas I would imagine as the American way of life being a father as a businessman. Or living the in the middle of the city and going to a small liberal school. What makes the way I live different from the American way of life is that I do not live in the suburbs, I do own a car but I personally do not use it frequently.

The good and bad things in my way of life fit together because the bad is mostly based on the book, the bad things are bad because it hinders the good things. Some aspects of my life that I find interesting are, my interests in performing and art. I find these aspects of my life interesting because they were influenced by my parents. My father being a musician I grew up with music and performing/performances and my mother who paints a lot in her spare time I was exposed to art. I think these aspects of my life will keep throughout my life but there is a possibility that these aspects will become less important or even more important and become something bigger than it is now.
