YBurns Final Project by https://padlet.com/ycburns/yburnsfinalproject Made with a bold sensibility en-us 2019-04-17 00:41:09 UTC 2025-11-07 17:13:41 UTC hello@padlet.com Reflection: ycburns https://padlet.com/ycburns/yburnsfinalproject/wish/352165531 In my reflection, I identify myself with lens of identity. I often find myself thinking what my life would have been like if my high school sweetheart had not been killed when I was senior in high school. We had talked about getting married once he finished college. He was a year older and was going to study mechanical engineering. We were together for all of my high school days up until that awful November day my Senior year. I often find myself thinking what type of life would I have had if we were married. He was kind, loving and a good christian young man with wonderful moral and values. He taught me many things about being kind and loving as well. I continue to look back for that guidance he once taught me. He often said "Everything happens for a reason, never question it, just accepted". His death was something I could not accept, it was wrong what a person could do for money. He was wealthy and those who wanted that wealth killed a beautiful soul to attain it asking for a ransom. It must have been ten years where I finally began to accept what had occurred, even after help from a therapist. After being lost for so many years, I was finally able to find myself and move forward with my own life and began a relationship.  I often visit his grave site to give myself the closure and let him know I'm ok and doing well with the guidance he taught me. I found my identity through his guidance of good morals and values and trying to do better in life in general.]]> 2019-04-17 00:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ycburns/yburnsfinalproject/wish/352165531 Application ycburns https://padlet.com/ycburns/yburnsfinalproject/wish/352165575 In the movie A Star is Born, Lady Gaga (Ally) identifies herself as not being good enough to sing as she is previously told by others that she did not have the look or the correct sound.  After meeting Bradley Cooper (Jackson), he identifies that not only can Ally write music, she can also sing and invites her to sing with him.
