1 Music is like a friend I can always count on， showing me the way and making me feelgood. When I was a little girl， it would help me fall asleep with calm songs. As I grew up，the tunes my mom and dad loved filled our house， getting me to like old hits and learnabout new ones.

2 In my teen years， music understood me better than anyone else. It matched myfeelings， and singers sang songs like they were speaking right to me. Going to live showswas the best—it was as if I was in a whole new world. Music didnt just sound nice; it was apart of me， helping me and cheering me up.

3 When I got to college， music was mystudy buddy. It taught me people and places faraway. It showed me that no matter where we＇refrom， we ＇re all pretty similar. Songs can saythings that are hard to explain with just words.

4 Making playlists became my way ofkeeping track of my life. Every tune was like amemory or a feeling saved in a list. I learned how different beats could make me energeticand happy or calm and comforted.

5 Now that I＇m older， music is my escape after hard days. It gets my ideas going， liftsmy mood， and sets the vibe for date nights. It makes my daily travels exciting and parties even more fun.

6 Sharing songs with my friends makes them even more special. Whether we＇reguessing song names， trading our favorite tracks， or just playing music while we eat， italways makes things better.

7 Music stays with me， like a background song for every up and down in life. It＇s morethan just sounds and words—it gives me life. In a noisy world， music is a place of peaceand the way I say things that are hard to put into words. For me， music feels like home.
