In AP Lit, we are doing a project about what we believe in. I really like this project. One of the reasons why I really like this project is because I'm a sucker for a good story. My whole life, I've loved stories. Being able to be transported to someone's own personal world with a few words is on par with magic. I love life stories because they're real and true. You may never be able to experience a certain thing, but through the words of someone else, it feels like you've been there. My mom has told me that I have a knack for telling stories. I'm able to take my experiences and use fun words and voices and introduce something new to someone. I'm only 17 years old, and in my 17 years, I've experienced so much. I've lived in the Arabian Peninsula, I've travelled to Japan, I've experienced death and grief, I've endured excruciating pain in hospitals. I have all these experiences and I love sharing them. I love talking to people about my life and sharing a bit of myself with them. One of my favorite songs is "Here We Are" by Patrick Park. A line in this song that I really like is "We can't see past our own sad stories and forget how to listen." The stories that we have, be they sad or exciting or happy, make us who we are. We need our stories and we need to listen to other people's stories. Your story is who you are. Share it how you please.
