Has the World Treated Me Fairly or Unfairly?
Has the world treated me fairly or unfairly?
Everyone has a different perspective on fairness of the world, people would say that the world has been fair, unfair, or both to their lives. I stand where I believe the world has been fair to my life. Living in Saipan gave me a lot of opportunities and great moments. I received great education and got a chance to share passion with other good people. Everyone gets a chance to enjoy their lives, and I think that so far I have gotten that chance. I can say I had lucky breaks. I got to travel the world with the people who share a common passion and interest with me. Looking back, I received all that I could but sometimes I regret not taking the given opportunities which could have left a different impact in my life.
Unlike the mainland, we do not have much facility, resources and a great economy. Despite of lacking needs, I received great education from great educating minds. It was my fortune to enroll in a school that provided musical education, a school concert band program. Even in a bad economy, our high school band (which I was in) got invited to the New York Music Festival and got a chance to play on the world’s most prestigious stage of Carnegie Hall. Unfortunately, because of band I had to give up my chance to take AP classes due to conflict in class schedule. I had to think it over twice by giving up something I love for another great opportunity, or keep this opportunity that was given to me and start fresh. I know it was a given chance for me, but then I chose band because by that time, band has become a big part of my life. Through my dedications in music I was able to enjoy doing what I love with my friends and family, traveling to places like New York, Guam, and London. If this was not my luck break, I don’t know what is.
During my last year in high school I joined the “We the People” team which was a class/club that was formed to compete in the “We the people national competition”. I wasn’t even

    I went from the girl who was terrified of speaking her mind to someone who can easily give speeches in front of people and can lead a clarinet section of 20 people. Being responsible for 19 other people is a challenge that freshman me would never have been able to do, and in this way, band has helped me grow into both the leader and the person that I am today. However, band didn’t just help me grow, it made me happy. My memories of band are some of the happiest memories of my life. Memories ranging from praying to all the band gods above for a water break or possibly a nice cloud to shade us from the evil sun to marching and winning sweepstakes at our very first competition and crying our tears of happiness together. I will always cherish these memories.Band acted as my salvation in how it forced me to grow into the leader I am today and how it made me happy. I want college to act as my second salvation.

    First, unfairness is portrayed through the Greasers. Johnny, one of the Greasers, had been treated unfairly his whole life. The narrator states, “ If it hadn’t been for the gang, Johnny would never have known what love and affection are.” ( Page 12 ). Johnny’s parents were abusive.

    Not everyone believes that life is not fair, but everyone eventually will reach a point in your life that this will come into play. For example, “At the front door, we saw fire spewing from Miss Maudie’s dining room windows (Lee 69)”. Miss Maudie did not plan this. She lost everything in her house. Maudie did not think anything like this would happen ever, which is not fair in her part. Therefore, when people say life is not always fair there are right for sure. People who could be the kindest and nicest person on earth or the rudest person on earth do not deserve this either way.…

    Back at home I was surrounded with a horrible community. All the memories that took place needed to be erased to follow my dreams in the music industry. About 3 years later I joined the band “Big Brother and the Holding Company,” which made a statement about my talent and made me more noticeable. My career never really took off until I joined the band. Making music was never about the money in my case. Finally, I was with a good group of guys and eventually made my way to the front and center of the band. But unfortunately I just felt like they were holding me back from being more outgoing in my musical career. About a year and a half later I had to leave the band. It was the hardest goodbye.…

    When I joined band, the arts vigorously pushed my future onto a different course by molding a new creation that would be better prepared for the oncoming storms brought by the adversities of being a young adult. I learned discipline, timeliness, efficiency, and many other values that I would have otherwise lacked without the trials posed by being in band. Aside from these militaristic and objective qualities, being a musician also instilled many subjective qualities within me that allow me to better appreciate aesthetics. Thinking back, I was undoubtedly a terrible oboist when I first picked up the instrument. Beginner band was a cacophony rather than flowing music as it should have been. I didn’t understand what to listen for. Now with a more…

    One of my most defining experiences to date has been my involvement with the colorguard squad at my school. The colorguard squad is an auxiliary unit that is part of the marching band. We perform with the band at Friday night football games during halftime while spinning flags and rifles to the music. To me, colorguard is so much more than that. Freshman year when I went to tryouts I was terrified. I did not have any friends trying out with me; I was walking into a gym full of older girls whom I had never met. To my surprise, being on the squad for the past three years has been such a defining achievement during high school for me. Without the squad I would have had a completely different experience in school. I learned the value of hard work…

    Singing in the choir, learning from the drummers and organ players I fell in love with the different grooves and sounds of different instruments. I joined percussion in junior high and with countless hours of practice and lots of tough love from Mr. Jones, my percussion instructor, I learned and practiced with about 20 instruments. The switch between instruments was almost like second nature earning me first chair in a class of about 40. Once in high school I began looking for a way to turn doing what I love into a career and my interest in music producing and engineering grew into a burning passion. Working with different artists and learning how to produce, mix and master vocals with various softwares, using different midi controllers, plugins etc has taught me many different ways to find sounds i like and turn them into art. Receiving recognition that thousands of human beings have taken the time out of their day to listen the art that you created is the best feelings in the world. Giving people something to relate to by painting a lyrical picture from a blank canvas is immortal. Henceforth after hours of online research I decided to try and take my skills and elevate them to a level where they are needed in society as a vital piece of the vastly growing music…

    When I was a sophomore in high school, I had the highest flute score in my wind ensemble and was already set to be the student leader over all of the flutes in my marching band. Only another option revealed itself—the drum major position. The former drum major was a senior, so a new one was required. I had never been interested, but when a friend recommended that I try out as a freshman, I agreed. That decision changed my future tremendously. I spent three months working and practicing with countless of mentors, preparing for my tryout. When they rolled around, I remained calm and collected. After a few weeks, my results came back with good news. Aiming for more has been one of the best decisions of my life.…

    One of the biggest ones was getting married and having 2 kids at a very young age. I would never regret my kids but at 22years old having 2 kids puts a lot of weight on pursuing my dreams to become a singer/song writer because I couldn’t focus on just me anymore. I had to put my kids and husband first and that was hard for me and is still a big factor on the decisions I make for my music.…

    The word fair means that you are not playing favoritism to any specific someone. It means that everyone is treated within reason. Fairness may be interpreted differently from person to person. In my opinion, I believe that fairness is a very broad word that falls into many aspects of society. Whether it is within the government or the career world, fairness is a concept that must always be taken into consideration.…
