"My Three Favorite Things"

My three favorite things are music, basketball, and writing poetry. In this essay, I will write my reasons for choosing these things. Plus, how I feel about, and while I'm, doing these things. I will also mention certain memories from doing these things, and while listening to music. We all have our own preferences, and these are mine.

Music is my life and it keeps me going in every way you can inmagine. My favorite types of music are rap and reggae. In the morning or afternoon, after getting up, the first thing I do is blast my music loud. It wakes me up, even when I don't feel like getting up. When feeling down and in need of a little inspiration, my best friend is music. It lifts my spirits up, and sometimes, I even forget my reason for being upset. Music is an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color. If you ask me, a lot of people would be emotionally stressed, or just depressed if it wasn't for music.

Basketball is my favorite sport. Playing basketball all started with me watching Michael Jordan. He became an even bigger inspiration to me when the movie "Space Jam" came out. I practiced some of his easy moves, and shortly mastered them. Playing ball keeps me in shape and upgrades my skills. When playing basketball, I feel confident because my shots are on point, especially when I'm behind the three point line. In my previous games, I've won many games either one on one or as a team member. I consider myself a baller because I'm really good at doing what I do. My skills are so real, that someone still owes me money because of them. I wouldnt say I'm the best, but I'm one of them. After an intense game, I seek a shower and begin relaxation.

Writing poetry is what I do to set my mind at ease. When I write, it either takes away some of the pain, or it just makes me reflect on it more. Writing is a work out and a wonderful

    Music is a wonderful thing. There are many different genres and types of music out there. Music helps people with different things. It can help them through the day. It could also help them through a struggle they are going through. Music can get you motivated to start the day. Music can get the blood flowing in the morning. I like all music, except for country music. There is something about country music that is annoying to me. I don't know what it is, I just really despise country music. Music also has a lot of history. According to some people the earliest forms of music would have been simple drum instruments. They were easy to make. Since there was no written music they had to memorize beats or make new ones. Then the Greek mathematician…

Even if I didn't win, my coaches alway said "You can't win, unless you learn how to lose." When I was in 5th grade my brother inspired me to do that. I…

    Dick Clark Research Paper

    Dick Clark once said, ¨Music is the soundtrack of your life.¨ Music is one of the most powerful and influential things in my life. Without the melodies and harmonies of music, my life would feel bland and meaningless. I have a very busy schedule and sometimes it is too easy to lose meaning in my everyday tasks, but with music I am able to keep meaning in my life. I use music to get me through the activities of my everyday life. Whether it is cleaning my room, doing homework, or just relaxing, music makes everything better. I think that music can convey feelings and emotions extraordinarily well. When words cannot do the job, music can. Along with that, I think that music accompanies memories very well also. Going back to Dick Clark’s quote, I think I would be able to make a timeline of my life just using song titles, albums, and…
