When I was a litte kid I heard a song on the radio, it was "We Will Rock You" by Queen; I've never forgotten that song nor that day. Since that day, muisc was everything to me, it had help me through a lot of stress and even depression. There is a movie coming out soon call "Where comes the boom," it's about a muisc teacher saving the muisc department by doing MMA to raise money; if I was that same muisc teacher, I would've done the very same thing to save muisc. Muisc is like my light when times get dark, it is my strengh when times get hard, it is my friend when I need one. Muisc is everything to me, and I would love to just give back to it what it has done for me; muisc was, for me, a release for stress when I played a string on my guitar. I've heard that some people that don't even see themselves in the muisc field end up in it and love where they're at; for people like me that muisc has helped for their eniter life just want to become someone iconic within the muisc world. that's why I love muisc, why I love playing my guitar after a long stressful or depressing day to left me up out of it and fight on through the rest of the week; when I play my guitar or listen to my Ipod i foind myself closing my eyes and think of me playing with my band in front of 60,000 people as they shout out my name and that feeling just washes all the stress, depression, anxiety, and even anger away. I feel completely calm and collected with myself and thoughts everytime I listen to my muisc or play my guitar, I would even go as far as saying muisc is my drug of choice. I've even dreamed of putting muisc classes back into the schools so the students could get the help that I did; I've heard and read that muisc can improve test scores as well as help in math. Muisc has so much to offer us, but yet we don't take its help, we just say that muisc is bad and it's from the devil, but it's not. I believe that Kiss was right when they released their song "God GIve Rock N Roll to You" and we just don't listen to what muisc is trying so hard to tell us. Muisc is my life, and muisc is my drug of choice no matter what people tell me or say about muisc.

I say from personal beliefs that having a pet does in fact help your health. I do know that pets can lower stress and even get you out of moments of depression; I have cats and a dog and I can say that they do help me with stress and depression. After a long day at school, coming home and relaxing with my cats and dog is the best feeling after the stress I have at school. I do say that pets, of any kind, can, and do, help us with a lot of things with our health: stress, depression, blood pressaure, cholesterol, and even triglyceride levels. The People-Animal Connection(PAC) says "Among other things, animals contribute to raising self-esteem, significantly lowering anxiety levels, improving attitude toward others and opening lines of communication, with geriatric patients we see a bridge of communication develop with staff and family when a dog visits." I have volunteered with the group of Fur KIds to help cats and dogs get adopted, and the time I spent with them helped me a lot. So I say any kind of pet, adopted, or not, can and will help yopur health. I love my pets and is thankful for help they do for me and my family; my pets have helped me through a lot of things ever since I was little. I wouldn't be here today, nor who I am with it wasn't for my pets.
