With the metaphors that Robert Frost used in his poem, the idea I got was that he
was trying to persuade people to do what they liked . If money was no object, people
would be sincere. If money was no object, there would be no poverty and crimes. If
money was no object, I could be me. The world, this society would not worry about the
little things such as your clothes, house or the alike but look at the bigger picture. We
would no longer be blinded by our own selfish greed and instead look at the beauty of
this world. If money were no object, I would be a composer and make a cause called
“Music for a Change”.
Robert Frost: “I cannot rub the strangeness from my sight, I got from looking
through a pane of glass”. Looking at yourself doing something you hate, you are like a
robot. You keep doing things you do not like and are not living life to its fullest. You are
just an empty shell that is barely living only working for the pleasure of having money to
spend. Frost portrayed this by using metaphors I his poem “After Apple Picking”. The
message conveyed was doing something just for the money is absolutely stupid.
Money. What exactly is it? Well let me answer that. It is something that some
ignorant idiot made to make himself seem better than everyone else. If I were able to be a
composer , my life would have been inspirational, a life changer. It would help people
who were emotionally , mentally, or physically hurt a good smile. Something to give
them hope. Frost: “Upon my way to sleep before it fell , I could tell what form my
dreaming was about to take” . I believe that I am dreaming right now and I will soon
wake up to a different world. A world that is free of judgement. A world where not
everything is based on your social status and yearly income. A world where money is not
the most important thing in a family’s life. This world would not be nearly as confusing.
If money were no object, and I could be anything in this crazy world, I would be a
composer and make my cause. My organization will help people who are easily
influenced to follow my footsteps and be themselves. They will feel hope. They will
know it. I will be the leader of the army and I will lead an entire group of people.
Because in a world where money does not exist, what else would anyone want to be but
themselves? In a world where money is not an object , choose to be yourself.

A change in my life .
One thing that i would change in my life , is how I ended a very important relationship with a very special person .this person was me best friend and role model . We were together so much that he became like family to me . We ended our relationship because of stress , another girl , and mostly because I kept letting him down . Although it hurt very bad , I am happy to see him smile much more now then , when we were together ; although I am not the one making him smile . Many people say , that a teenager can not possibly understand what love is . I believe that is quite hypocritical . If adults knew more than us , then we would learn from them and arguments , disagreements , separation ; all the negative parts of a relationship would be nonexistent . No one really knows what love is , or more simply , no one can really explain the feelings , thoughts of this particular concept . My point is , is that this was the closest thing that I have ever felt to love and maybe it even was . I think that is probably why it was a traumatic experience , as silly as it may seem . The thing I really regretted was how it ended and letting that person down . Truthfully speaking , it probably really was all my fault . Regardless of what any of my friends say . That is what I believe in deep down . If I had chosen differently , my entire life would have been different . I might have still been with him and still had been some what of friends with the girl who is now in my place . The friends I have now , probably would not even be my friends f I had not messed up so much . Although I do feel very guilty and self conscious about this experience , I really think I can reflect on it . So then the next person I will meet , and eventually love , I will treat them with the respect that they deserve . That is why I regret this ; because I could have been different , I had sworn I would be different but I did not . I broke my promise to him and myself . This would be the one thing that I would change in my life .

My Hobby
My favorite hobby is composing my own music .
For some people , crying or talking about their problems relieves their stress .
For me though , singing about it and turning it into music relieves my stress .
My happy moments are written in major chords , where as sad moments are written in minor .
I got this idea of writing my own music when a friend in 8th grade told me to put a tune to my poem and it
would have been a good song .
So that is exactly what I did .
I could already play piano and flute so why not ?
I turned that poem into a song and continued making over 50 poems into my own songs .
Back then , all my songs had words to them , but now , it is all about conveying my feelings through my music .
As everyone knows , I love music to death because its my air and water .
Making music is my all time and only hobby =)

Favorite Music
My favorite band/artist . My favorite artist , is Ludovico Einaudi . Most of you or maybe even all of you wont know who he is . He's a modern day Italian Composer . I love listening to his music . His music always suits the mood i am in . Wether i may be , angry , upset , happy or anxious . I love listening to classical music . It is not what you would expect of a teenager probably . Most people would be more likely to believe that i like rap or some kind of pop song that everyone else listents to ; and that is just that . I am not everyone else, thats why Classical music or modern day classical is my favorite king to listen to . Einaudi's work , his chords , make me feel so peaceful and relaxed . In fact when i do my homework , i listen to him or another kind of composer . His music takes me to a place outside of this world or dimension , and in that perfect world , i can be whoever , or whatever it is that i want to be at the moment; i can even fly or breathe underwater . Listening to his music in major scales , puts me in a hopeful , or more optimistic mood , where as listeing to his music in minor scales , puts me in a more pessimistic mood . What i really like doing , is imagining . When i imagine different things , i tend to write them down . Its like putting your emotions down on a piece of paper , and so when i listen to Einaudi's pieces , it really makes me imagine things . I remember all the things i have done wrong ; i regret a lot of things i have done ; and i think of who i am going to be in the near or far future . Most of all , i try to think of who it is that i am . Even though i have not written his pieces or composed them , i love them . They are like an untold story yearning to be listened to and understood . Music is beauty itself . It is one of the most important things in my life so that is probably why i take it so seriously . Music is my life , passion and a part of who i am , and everytime I listen to his music , it reminds me of that . That there will be happy endings ; good outcomes , regardless of who you were or what you have done . And music , is just a different language , and another way of explaining how it is that you or I feel or anyone feels . Pieces like rap or music that talks about drugs and alchol , flirting or sexual things , do not really appeal to me . The words are already laid out there . I want to be able to think about it on my own accord . That is why Ludovico Einaudi , is my favorite artist .
