I believe that we are capable of whatever we set our minds to in life. Dreams and goals are important to have because they are what keep us going. I believe that it is important for everyone to get involved more in reading and participation in the arts because that is what allows us to develop as individuals and find character.

To many people, painting your nails is just something you go to the salon for so your fingers look "pretty." However, nail art holds so much more than just allowing your finger tips to match your clothes. Nail art is a completely different way of being able to personalize yourself and show your interests. It can be hard for many people to express themselves through fashion, makeup, hair, or any other type of body modification. It is also a globally used art form that has taken over social media and the fashion/makeup industry. Nail art for me has become something that allows me to express who I am and how I feel. I believe that we all deserve something in life that brings us joy and relaxation, painting my nails being something that provides those for me. Also, nail art allows myself to think creatively through painting intricate and meaningful designs on my fingertips. I believe we all deserve to have our own creative outlet, no matter how big or small it may be.

The show that taught me to dream: Waitress the Musical

# data[].attributes.body
Waitress is about a woman named Jenna who works at a small highway Diner. She is stuck in an abusive marriage with her husband, Earl, who controls every choice she makes. To escape from her life, Jenna bakes pies at the diner alongside her two friends Dawn and Becky. When Jenna finds herself having an unwanted pregnancy, she is stuck with her husband and is only able to find comfort in dreaming up different kinds of pies she can bake. This show has taught me to be a dreamer. I believe we have power in our thoughts and that are dreams mean more than just wishful thinking. Dreams motivate us and keep us going in life. As Jenna sings in the show, "everything changes," a quote that I look too frequently for encouragement. I believe that nothing in life is set in stone, and it is always possible for life to take us down better unexpected paths.

The movie that showed me strength: Mulan

This film follows Mulan, a teen girl who is faced with the struggles of having to uphold her family's good name and follow tradition, while also trying to find a way to be herself. When her father is called to fight in a war, but isn't able to, she steps us and dresses as a male to save her dad from having to go. Mulan has to learn to fight and keep up with the men around her. Even though it is a well-known cartoon movie, it has shown me the importance of what it means to be a strong independent female. I believe that as young women it is our job to stand up and speak out for what we believe in, even if society disagrees. Nobody should have to conform to societies expectations and standards to fit in when they are passionate about something else.

The book that gave me perspective: We Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter

# data[].attributes.body
This novel is based on a true story about a wealthy Jewish family living in Poland during the second World War. The family of seven was separated during the early stages of the Holocaust period and persecution of the Jews. The story follows each family member, adults and children, and their experience during this time. It emphasizes family values and human connections; those around us are important and many times we neglect to see everything they do for us. The members of this family are put through so many excruciating experiences, yet hold onto hope that they will soon be reunited. This book showed me the importance of fighting for your family and those that you love. It made me think about how much I can take for granted at times, and the importance of being able to step back and be thankful for those around you.
