Winging It

So I don't know about everyone else, but I happened to really enjoy the episode of Jazz we watched in class today. I felt for the first time I could relate to a different type of music genre besides rock. The episode made me realize that it doesn't matter what type of genre you listen to or what time period it may be - pretty much all teenagers have the same battles and frustrations. I know for myself music has been a huge part of who I am today. It has gotten me out of the toughest situations I've faced. I think if anything jazz music and the creation of the radio created an outlet for teenagers who didn't really know who they were and it's pretty awesome to say that music still plays the same role in teenagers today. There was something one of the speakers said on the episode that really hit home for me. He said something along the lines of that the music you listen to now will stay with you for the rest of your life and get you through anything that stands in your way. I couldn't agree more with what he said. It keeps me optimistic about the future to know the music I grew up with will stay with me where ever I go.
