Who Am I?

I am the middle child in a family of 5. Everyone says the middle child always holds the most unique personality in the family, and I believe I hold true to this statement. Since I was young, I have always viewed the purpose of life as having fun and succeeding economically ad emotionally through what you love. I’ve always had a creative mindset that allows me to see the brighter side of all situations and to make the most out of what you have. Through these mindsets and creativity did I discover my passion for the production of music. My hobbies have always included hanging out with friends, working out, DJing, and video games. My life goal is to make an impact on the world in some way, no matter how big or small. The reason for this goal is that I cringe at the idea of living out my life like all the others: getting a job, marrying, having kids and perishing; indefinitely hidden from the rest of the world. My dream is to DJ in front of a live crowd, while 1000’s of people chant my name and fist pump to my own music. I am willing to take any risk to achieve this dream. Lastly, a fun fact about me is that I can’t smell anymore after a longboarding accident in freshmen year!

Conformity is One's Self Betrayel

I wrote this poem based on a motive that I passively desplayed in my "Who am I" section. As I said, I strive to be a unique person, with a unique personality and a unique mindset. My goal is to never become that of a conformist, as I cringe at the idea of living life like many others. My definition of a conformist is one who follows these six steps in order: Birth > Education > Job > Marriage > Kids > Death. This poem is a story about an event that occured during my sophomore year, where I, more than ever, felt that I was following the path of conformity. The ending is untold, but I can assure you I realized what my life was becoming and how I wanted to change it.
