My Personal Theme Song

Hi, Everyone!

As I promised on yesterday, this is the speech that I’m going to give tomorrow in my speech class. Check it out:

“‘Go The Distance’ by Michael Bolton is my personal anthem. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Bolton sang this song with his whole heart and soul, the lyrics to the song describe my current situation: Born a native Los Angeleno, I am a current (and temporary) resident of Holly Springs, Mississippi, as I am a full-time student at Rust College. In the second verse of ‘Go The Distance,’ Mr. Bolton describes my situation as ‘an unknown road to embrace my fate.’ No doubt that this road has many inevitable detours and stop signs, and even some potholes, but the ultimate goal/destination is my graduation in 2016, and eventually my hero’s welcome when I return to Los Angeles, California.”

And then I go on to explain in full detail what the lyrics of “Go The Distance” mean to me. For instance, there is another verse that says: “To look beyond the glory is the hardest part, for a hero’s strength is measured by his heart.” I go on to compare this particular verse to Philippians 3:14, where Paul tells us to “press toward the mark for the prize.” In other words, a real true hero realizes that he or she has to focus on what’s in front of them (the mark) before they get to their destination (the prize).

Oh, I’m still lovin’ every minute of my speech class.

By the way: Y’all already know that I had to use a photo of Michael Bolton and “Go The Distance” in this blog to drive home my point!

Well, that’s enough news for today. I’ll holla at y’all tomorrow.

Hugs & Kisses,

Natasha
