Out of all of our presentations, I can relate to Franks presentation about music. I can relate because I play guitar and write songs, and it is hard to be told that your work is no good. I can also relate to his topic on the message behind songs. When my sister was in the hospital I wrote a song dedicated to her and it really helped me bring myself back up. This was an effective topic in my mind because there are to many people who judge a band by how they look. They really just need to listen to the messages in the lyrics and take a second to rewrite their opinion on certain bands.

I read an article in the New York Times about ultimate Frisbee. This article changed my perspective of the sport.  At one point I thought it was a small sport and that only boys played. I was sadly mistaken. It turns out that ultimate Frisbee is played around the world and equally by men and women. This makes me think that since ultimate Frisbee is one of the fastest growing sports in the world, that I could one day take place in a bigger role than just a player or a follower, I could possibly help in the development of a professional league one day. This makes me proud to be a player in the early developmental stages of the game, and gives me motivation to work that much harder, not only as a player but as a figure of the game.
