Story of my life............ kind of. lol

I first attended a private French school when I was a kid, so transfering to an Amercian school was very difficult because the hardest part of attending a different school was fitting in.  There were many children around the school who didn't consider me one of them because they knew that I was a new kid and that I was also french.  So this song sometimes reminds me of the pain I felt whenever I was made fun of which was a lot for a very long time.  And for me this song reminds me of that from time to time.

Things really started changing when I graduated high school and switched to a community college.  Since a lot of my class were going to four-year colleges it was very interesting that I was going to a college where I knew nobody.  A new start was exactly what I needed.  To get away from the life I had before and start fresh.  I started off by meeting the men's soccer coach, who then introduced me to his players, when I met the players I instantly became firm firm friends with all of them, and after that events just transpired that completely changed my life fo the better. Nights out at a club, fun soccer practices, dinner at chillis and many other special occasions made for wonderful memories.

Now that I am at a big university things have changed again. Not for the worse, not for the better.  But they have just changed.  The bad times have gone away, the fun times have passed, and now it's time for me to grow and become the person I'm meant to be.  With a future and with a purpose I now must look to make a difference in life I enjoy.  In a life where I control my destiny and with the help of new friends my future will be made.  We are who we choose to be.

Epilogue Post



The first thing that I found very interesting to read about was how big an impact Bruce Springsteen had in the Rock N’ Roll era.  I found it really fascinating how his life was changed by Rock N’ Roll.  How he had a strict father at home and authoritarian nuns at school.  All of these things in his life made him a loner until he saw Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show.  After that he told himself that he had to get a guitar and start playing music.  I really think that it’s a fascinating story how Bruce Springsteen got involved with Rock N’ Roll and kept making an impact in music later on in life. 



Another thing that surprised me was that some Rock N’ Roll artists or music artists did benefit concerts in Vietnam despite the fact that most people were opposed to the Vietnam War.  Or that people in politics like Jimmy Carter invited people like the Allman Brothers to the white house to play concerts.  That is really something crazy to think about.  I wish Obama would invite Linkin Park or Nickleback to the White House once in a while.
