Three Songs & Three Goals

Hi Everyone!
My name is Nadya and I'm going to be very honest with you: I've never done something like this before. And I wasn't planning on ever doing something like this.

So, here's the story. This semester, I'm taking a Public Speaking class and as an assignment, I have to keep a blog. Even though I don't understand why or how this helps me speak, I'll go with it. (If I ever find out why I'm doing this, I'll let you guys know ;)

For my first blog post, I'm going to choose three songs that represent me and my life as well as some of my goals for this so-called 'public speaking' class.

Song Number One: Hall of Fame by The Script

This song really blows me away for a few reasons. Firstly, the topic. Nowadays all the songs on the radio are about love, or some other sappy topic. This is about something that all people can relate to. I mean, who doesn't want to be in the Hall of Fame. This song really empowers me as well with the strong beat and understandable lyrics that just make you wanna sing along. (Don't worry, I've done it too...). This song represents me in that of my dreams. Now, I don't know if I necessarily want to be in an actual hall of fame, but I do want to be known for whatever I plan to do in the future. I want to accomplish my dreams and go above and beyond with everything else.

Song Number Two: Bol Chuidyan

You've probably never heard of this song by the title. If you actually watched the video before reading this, you probably didn't understand it either. That's because it's in Hindi, the main language of India. This brings me to my culture. Although, I am an American citizen, I am deep-rooted in my heritage as I am from India. This song is from a movie that I have watching many, many times and I will watch it many more times. It represents my past, and my culture. I am blessed to be Indian, and so thankful that I am. It has taught me so many things, and it will continue to for the rest of my life.

Song Number Three: Brave by Sara Bareilles

Personally, I really love  the message in this song. It's about how someone wants to see the real person inside someone.   I connect with this song so much because I'd like to see the real person inside everyone I meet. I'd love to have this whole world be nonjudgmental, but that's just human nature, I guess. This relates to me because I try to make sure to be the of person that people can trust and want to be around. I want to make sure no has to be brave, it just comes naturally. It also reminds me to be whoever I want to be, no matter what others say.



Goals for my Public Speaking class:

Number One: To be able to know how to act and speak when in front of a crowd

Number Two: To look and be more confident when speaking in front of people

Number Three: For this blog to be interesting for others!
