I created my video with a lot of pictures and less text because I think you can find

out more about someone and understand their life better through pictures. The text

helps to describe the pictures and helps to understand the person's life even more. My

inspiration was my family and friends because they are the most important people in my

life. That is why my video is centered around them. I chose this song because it's about

enjoying life, which I think everyone should do.

I chose the lyrics, “Never wanted nothing more” because it's the whole meaning

of the song. It’s meaningful to me because it’s saying how you don’t need super

expensive and fancy things to have a google life. You need nothing more than what you

have. This relates to me because I am always thankful for what I have or get. I never

want anything more. The second quote I chose was, “The first time’s a one-time feeling

and I never wanted nothing more.” I chose this quote because it’s describing the

first-time feeling of something. Everyone experiences a feeling for the first time. This is

meaningful because everyone can relate to it. I also think everyone agrees with it. No

matter how many times you experience something, the first time is always the best. One

example I have for this is the first time I went cliff jumping. It was very nerve-racking and

scary at first which made it more fun. After jumping multiple times It wasn’t so scary.

What made it so fun was when it was nerve-racking. Although it was still fun after

jumping many times, the first time was the most fun. The next lyrics I chose were, “I'm

sure happy with what I got.” I chose these lyrics because it’s meaningful to me. To me, it

means exactly what it says. I’m happy with what I have and I don’t expect anything

more. Like I said before, this relates to me because I’m happy with what I have. My life

is great even though I don’t have super expensive and fancy things. The last lyrics I

included were, “My buddies all tried to change my mind but I told them I had thought it

through.” I chose these lyrics because I think it is something that everyone should listen

to and follow. I think the meaning of this is that you shouldn’t let people change your

mind. Follow your dreams and do what you like. This relates to me and I think everyone

else because I think if everyone were to follow what other people say you would not be

living a good life. Live your life and not someone else's life. That's why you should do

what you want and not what others want you to do.

Next, I included 4 quotes that are very meaningful to me. One of the quotes by

Michael J Fox is, “Family is not an important thing, it’s everything.” This quote relates to

the video because it was after the family portion of my video. It relates to me because

my family and I are all very close. We are everything to each other. Next, Mark Twain

said, “Never regret anything that made you smile.” This quote relates to my video

because all the pictures here are things I don’t regret doing and things that made me

happy. That is also how it relates to my life. I try to live by this quote. I don’t regret

anything that made me happy no matter what. Another quote I included was "A real

friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out," by Walter Winchell.

This quote relates to my video because it was right after my friends' sections. This quote

relates to my life because I have had the same best friend since kindergarten. Her

name is kylie. I sit right next to her in your class. We've had our ups and downs but she

has always been there for me and I have always been there for her. The last quote I

included was, “The purpose of our lives is to be happy,” by Dalai Lama. This quote

relates to the video because I put it at the end of the video. I think it was a good quote to

conclude my video because it sums up the whole meaning of it. It relates to my life

because I try to live the happiest life I can. Also, the purpose of our lives is to be happy.

No one wants to live a sad life. In the process of making this video I learned that

although sometimes I struggle in life, I still have an amazing life and want nothing more.

I learned that my life is amazing and I don’t want it to change at all. I enjoyed picking a

song that relates to my life. I had a hard time finding a good song because I found out

that I can relate to a lot of songs and that a lot of songs would have gone well with my

video. Overall, I am happy with the song I picked. One lesson I got out of it and I hope

everyone does is, you should never want anything more because everyone's life is

perfect in different ways.
