We were assigned last week to chose two songs that say something about two stages in lives that were important, sad, happy, excited, etc. I wasn't sure which two songs I was going to pick because I guess I just never had two songs that affected me greatly. I was beginning to stress because I couldn't find a song to use.
I then thought about caporales, my dancing group and I immediately got the idea that I should use a song that we always dance to. So I picked a song that I loved since joining the group that I always find myself dancing to. My second song was by Celine Dion "Because You Loved Me." Here is what I said for each one:
1. Caporales Song
In sophomore year I wanted to be more involved in my Bolivian culture, but I wasn't really sure how. I decided to be part of a Bolivian folklori dance group. I really wwanted to do something that represented my Bolivian side.
Every time I listen to the song it makes me want to dance. It's difficult to explain but it's like the music fills my whole body with energy. It makes me realize how beautiful and wonderful my culture is. I wish I would have started dacing when I was younger! When I listen to this song I try to keep up with the beat and the rhythm, because when dancing that'sreally important. It seems like so long ago that I was struggling with the dance, but really it's only been like two years.
My folkloric music is truly amazing and very inspiring. Any time I need some energy or just to feel happy I listen to his song. It tells you a message: that our Bolivian culture transcend boundaries and gets to the center of your soul.
2. Celine Dion- Because You Loved Me
My dad and I always argue and we can't seem to agree with each other, ever. We both have very strong views about everything and that's what makes us class all the time. Obviously I love, he's my father but that doesn't mean I can't get annoyed with him. It wasn't until my junior year in high school that I realized that I was just like my father. His way of thinking is just like mine, surprisingly. His character and attitude is like my own as well, and his work ethic and dedication is something I'm grateful I inherited from him.
Anytime he makes me angry or upset I listen to his song to remind me how I love him. When I listen to it I just can't stay mad at him. The song tells me that even though my dad and I always argue I will always love him and care for him. He has done so much for me that I will never be done saying thank you. The song is so beautiful and emotional, it always makes me cry!
