The Most Influential or Entertaining Part of the JC Presentation was....

To be honest, I am not able to pinpoint a particular influential or entertaining moment of the Johnny Cupcake presentation. This is a result of my overall satisfaction with the whole event.

To begin, Johnny's childhood was influential for many reasons. First, Johnny faced obstacles such as a learning disability, family issues, and friends involved with drugs. Despite these impediments, Johnny still prospered and did not allow them to affect him negatively. Instead, he took advantage.

Another aspect of the presentation that influenced me was Johnny's sayings and quotes. All of his quotes pertained to being happy in life. One thing in particular that Johnny stated was that time is very valuable. Johnny also indicated aspects in becoming successful through teamwork and pursuing what a person loves and what makes them happy. He demonstrates these habits in his everyday life as well as his past. From the time that he pursued music to owning his million dollar business, Johnny signifies consistency, teamwork, time management, risk taking, and more.

I also enjoyed how Johnny not only got his message across but entertained his audience. A concluding moment where I began to genuinely understand Johnny was when he explained that he could be paying much less and saving money on packaging. Johnnny refused to do so to ensure the positive experience he strives for, for his customers. This spoke to me because I always stress that its not about the money.

In all, the Johnny Cupcake presentation opened my eyes and inspired me in so many ways. From Johnny's creativity to his overall message, this presentation influences me to practice better time management, to go for what I enjoy and what makes me happy, and to take educated risks. Lastly, I recognized a reoccurring theme in my life in the Johnny Cupcake presentation: to collaborate with others and not try to do everything on my own. I will always remember the showcase as well as the positive character that is, Johnny Cupcake.

(this is really not my best piece of writing. I can not seem to word it right and indicate what I'm trying to say....)

Quitters Never Prosper

One habit that I dislike about myself is my habit of quitting. It is a very bad habit to posses and it holds me back from multiple opportunities. 

I am not sure why I have no problem partaking in this habit in the moment. Although, I usually regret the action later. I also tend to dwell on things for years, so this habit becomes very unhealthy, as well. 

It usually begins with me being interested in an activity or hobby. I then try it out or attend one meeting. When I am met with a challenge, I suddenly have the urge to discontinue. Next, I contemplate my options and their consequences, in my head. Often times I choose to quit over my other options, resulting in this reoccurring process. 

For years, until I try again or conquer that challenge, I will have a feeling of regret and remorse that stresses and strains me. My family then gives me a lecture and pep talk. This usually motivates me to try again but I usually end up doing something completely different, continuing this habit. 

I believe that there is a deeper reasoning for this horrible habit. Maybe I lack the confidence or the motivation. I am not sure. Although, I am sure about a phrase I always hear as a result of this unfortunate

habit-quitters never prosper. 

Music=Life

Music is an important aspect of my life for several reasons. For example, music not only relaxes me, but it helps me concentrate, humbles me, and aids in my relation to others. In addition, music also provides an outlet for myself and my peers to express ourselves and distribute our thoughts, views, opinions, and experiences. Overall, music unites individuals in a positive way.

To begin, when I am stressed out from school, friendships, and life in general, I can listen to music to improve my mood. In correspondence, music helps me relax and concentrate when completing tasks such as school assignments and chores. It brings me to a very positive and happy place.

Through music, individuals can share their experiences and thoughts. Listening to different songs is a humbling experience for me. In addition to my previously stated reasons, music allows me to step into someone else's shoes and know how they felt in that situation. It queues memories as well.

Also, as a form of entertainment, music brings people together whether it is through attending a concert, sharing a favorite artist, dance, song, instruments, and more. As a result, music has aided me in various aspects of life from making friends to keeping my sanity. Therefore, music is my life.
