Road trips were the highlight of my summers when I was young. It was a ritual I looked forward to in the summertime because it meant my family and I would travel to other cities and states. My mother was always in charge of choosing the destination, while my father would be in charge of all the driving. Somehow my father approved of that. Once I knew where we were going, I would start packing right away even if we had months left. I still don 't know why I did that, maybe because of all the excitement

Musicians Institute in 2009, I felt that I needed more knowledge in order to be successful. I researched ways to combine my entertainment knowledge and business techniques I was lacking. Soon enough, I was taking business classes at Santa Monica College in Santa Monica CA. After a few radical changes in my life, I was getting ready to transfer to a University, and this is when I learned of the opportunities Walden University had to offer.

are quite diverse. I believe that the diversion is what helps the communities of California radiate their poise. Likewise, California is probably the most extroverted municipal in the United States of America. For instance, in my home town of Santa Monica there's always different types of people hanging out and having a gregarious time.

On the summer afternoon after graduation, I sat on my bed listening to Nirvana on vinyl, fresh and green at 18. I looked around at the room that had come to define the last years of my childhood. Pictures I had torn from magazines and books were pasted together in a huge collage that masked the white walls of my bedroom. An organized barrage of lyrics, articles, photographs and drawings had come to occupy those once stark divisions. It was beautiful, because it was just like me. A methodical madness

At 36, she made a statement- “I’m thirty-six and I’m just getting started.” She overdosed
20-minute bike ride, 15 minutes on roller blades, or a two-minute cruise in your convertible. A small strip of land that is divided as well as the Northwest Ordinances; the clear-cut separation between the groups is inevitable. Even though this journey in Santa Monica’s Venice Beach only takes up less than a half mile of land, it feels like you have just traveled the world in 80 days, and have covered 25,000 miles.

actually choose to abandon a blossoming sports career in favour of something more 'socially acceptable'). However, when we first meet the female heroine in almost all the movies, she is a young tomboy. The figures of Jess in 'Bend It Like Beckham' or Monica in 'Love and Basketball' are remarkably similar as children.
