Reflective Essay About The Future

750 Words3 Pages

Future… it always seems so far away from me. As a younger generation of this complex world, I used to not think that I am part of this community to make the world a better place to live in.
However, as I grow to become more matured, I will ask myself sometimes, what can we as the younger generation do to contribute to this community. Can we really go beyond the standards set for us by the pioneers? The Earth is constantly moving and so are we, we are constantly chasing for our dreams, but do these dreams morph into reality? This really depends on us. We are the future, and we will be operating this world.
I am personally passionate about music, classical music. Beauty of music as of now is considered as pop genres and I persistently ask myself, …show more content…

I finally got the chance to spread the joy and love that I gained from this experience to the audience yet it was so nerve wrecking. As I took up my violin and touched the shrill E-string, I was immersed in the beauty of the music that awed me for years. The nervous thoughts just floated away and all that was in my mind was how to shape the music. The clear, sweet singing melody floated out from my three quarter-sized violin as my chubby fingers flew on the fingerboard. Ending with a stunning beautiful G, thunderous applause descended. A sense of accomplishment filled me. I finally lived on the legacy of spreading the love and appreciation for classical music.

I am the future and I hold responsibility to contribute to the community in the area of classical music making.
The Earth is constantly moving, and so are we, the younger generation as we are chasing our dreams and finding the passion for what we love. And these dreams will morph into reality. Yes, our generation will be operating this world. This younger generation, my generation is the future. I am the

    Millennials, or America’s youth born between 1982 and 2000, now number 83.1 million and represent more than 25 percent of the nation’s population, according to the new U.S. Census Bureau. Millennials are tech savvy, diverse and have the most liberal attitudes in regards to social and cultural issues than any other generation.

    With rich historical context and sharp rhetoric, Richard Taruskin argues against a misconception about the impending demise of Classical Music. In doing so, he exemplifies three authors who argue for the ongoing crisis in Classical Music and why in their minds, Classical Music should be preserved at all cost. Taruskin then methodically dismantle their attempts to save Classical Music and instead provide his own view and its place in society. His main thesis is that classical music is undergoing a change that cannot and should not be intervened. Instead, we should allow it, observe it, and be a part of it.

She brings to light the question of whether we are living our lives in a way that we would want people to remember us. Because whether we want them to or not, people will remember; they will recall if we selflessly acted in kindness or if we acted in cruel or selfish ways.
