A place to show my work
I feel like trying something different. So every once in awhile, i’ll have like a brain teaser or a riddle. So, for the first one I have decided to do a braintease

Boyz II Men is undoubtedly my all-time favorite R&B group. While I appreciate all of their songs, a few truly stand out, and I’d like to share one of them today with the possibility of diving into more in the future.
One song that resonates deeply with me is “Color of Love.” Although it may not have reached the commercial heights of classics like “I’ll Make Love to You,” “End of the Road,” and “One Sweet Day,” it captivated me from the very first listen, not just with its beautiful melody but also with its profound message. Here’s why this song holds a special place in my heart.
One of the most striking aspects of “Color of Love” is the group’s signature harmonies, which showcase their incredible vocal abilities. The way they blend their voices creates an emotional depth that draws you in. For example, the line “I can see the color of your love” is delivered with such heartfelt intensity that it resonates deeply. Their harmonies establish an atmosphere that allows me to fully feel the emotions behind the lyrics.
The song conveys a powerful message about love transcending boundaries. It embodies the essence of embracing individuality and the myriad shades that love can take. The phrase “It’s more than a feeling; it’s a state of mind” emphasizes how love can transform our perception of the world around us. This message encourages us to look beyond superficial differences and appreciate the deeper connections that unite us.
What truly sets “Color of Love” apart is its ability to evoke profound emotions. The chorus serves as a poignant reminder that love exists on a spectrum, a sentiment that resonates with anyone who has ever loved or lost. The lyrics “You are my everything, all that I need” encapsulate devotion and the yearning for connection. I believe this song prompts listeners to reflect on their own relationships and the vibrant colors they bring into their lives.
In conclusion, “Color of Love” by Boyz II Men is not just another hit; it’s a heartfelt expression of love’s complexities and beauty. The mesmerizing harmonies, powerful message, and nostalgic feelings it stirs make it a cherished piece of music in my life. I invite you to give it a listen and share your thoughts!
A song that I fell in love with the moment I heard it back in the ’90s was TLC’s “Waterfalls.” The song came out in 1994 and has been one of my favorites ever since. The beautiful melody and meaningful lyrics that tell stories about life and choice are what made me fall in love with the song. The song encourages the listeners to think carefully and stay true to themselves.
The song’s central message is to warn people about the dangers of chasing after things that seem promising but can lead to trouble. The “waterfall” in the song symbolizes these risky choices. The lyrics tell stories about characters facing challenges because they go after what they want without considering the consequences.
In one part of the song, there’s a story about a young man who gets involved with drugs. He believes it gives him a better life but leads him down a path of sadness and loss. In another story, a woman seeks love but is in a dangerous situation. These stories remind us that not everything that looks safe is good.
“Waterfalls” encourage us to be careful and think about our decisions. It asks us to step back and look at the bigger picture before making choices. Instead of chasing after quick thrills, we should stay grounded and focus on what is truly important in life, like family, friends, and well-being.

Have you ever listened to a song that makes you stop and appreciate the little things in life? “Humble Daisy” by XTC is one of the songs that speaks on that. It uses the daisy flower as a symbol of innocence and simplicity, reminding us of the beauty found in the small joys around us.
Daisies often represent purity, new beginnings, and the joy of childhood, which perfectly aligns with the song’s theme of embracing life’s simple and often overlooked aspects. Their bright, cheerful appearance uplifts our spirits and encourages us to find happiness in everyday moments.
I feel that the daisy in the song represents a carefree and simple existence. It encourages us to take a moment and enjoy the small pleasures in life. Whether it’s a sunny day or a quiet moment with a friend, these simple moments can bring happiness.

When I was five, I wanted to be a teacher. I would gather all my stuffed animals and toys and teach them all the new, exciting things my five-year-old brain could think of.
Technology has essentially taken over my job. In the beginning, when I first started working, everything was done with physical books and printed materials. However, now everything is digital, whether on an iPad or a computer. We have become very reliant on the internet, and there are times when the system goes down, forcing us to revert back to using paper-based information.
I don’t say no to things that get in the way of my goals as much as I should, but I’m trying to change that. It can be hard to focus on what I want, especially when new chances come up that look tempting. I’m learning to think carefully about what matches my goals and to be clear about my limits. It’s a work in progress, but I’m dedicated to getting better at making choices so I can stay on track and reach what I want to achieve.
I often think it would be amazing to have the ability to speak every language fluently. Imagine being able to connect with people from all over the world effortlessly, understanding their cultures and perspectives. It would open up so many opportunities for travel, friendships, and learning.
My favorite type of weather is when it’s sunny outside, with just the right temperature—not too hot and not too cold. It’s the perfect day to enjoy the outdoors, maybe go for a walk or have a picnic!
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’s song “Thrift Shop,” featuring Wanz, is more than just a catchy tune; it’s a fun celebration of thrift store finds and unique fashion.
In the lyrics, Macklemore humorously points out the crazy prices of popular fashion. He shares funny stories about the cool items you can find at thrift stores, reminding us that you don’t need to spend a lot to look good.
Musically, the song mixes hip-hop and pop, featuring a catchy saxophone part that feels classic. Wanz’s smooth singing in the chorus adds to the song, making it really stick in your mind.
“Thrift Shop” is all about being smart with money while also challenging materialism, giving a fun and relaxed view on fashion and self-expression. Its success reflects a growing movement towards sustainability and individuality in what we wear.

My most influential teacher was Ms. Lowry. From the very first day in her class, she created an environment that was warm and welcoming, making it easy for us to express ourselves without fear of judgment. What truly set her apart was her unwavering belief in each of her students, including me.
There were times when I struggled academically and doubted my abilities. However, Ms. Lowry always saw potential in me that I couldn’t recognize in myself. She took the time to provide extra help, encouraging me to ask questions and explore my ideas thoroughly. Her feedback was always constructive and insightful, which motivated me to improve and take risks in my learning.
Thanks to her belief in me, I gained confidence and developed a love for learning that continues to drive me today.
I often think about how much I want to spend more time being creative every day. There are so many things I enjoy doing, drawing pictures, writing and working on different projects. When I get the chance to express myself through these activities, I always feel happier and more alive.

I have always wanted a tattoo, but I have never gotten one. I would like it to symbolize my struggles with social anxiety and serve as a reminder of how far I have come. I would prefer to have the tattoo on my wrist so that I can see it whenever I need encouragement. I am open for any ideas
One word that describes me is kind. I strive to be supportive and understanding, always looking to help others and promote a positive atmosphere.
I had to think about this for a bit, but if I had to choose between an airplane, train, bus, car, or bike, I would pick a train. Riding on a train allows me to see the countryside as I travel. In an airplane, you don’t get to see much because you’re just going from one point to another without taking in nature. Buses feel too crowded, and cars can also be quite cramped. As for biking, that’s not really an option for me.
