“We may be in the beautiful city of Detroit tonight, but our story begins in New York.” The appropriately tailored catch phrase, said at the beginning of every show, is barely audible; over the deafening screams of fifty thousand fans catching a glimpse of our main entertainer for the night. Everyone has something that they have decided, or has been decided for him or her, is their passion in life. A year ago if I was asked what my passion was I wouldn’t have said anything, I didn’t have a passion or something that really made me excited to live life. I’d rather sit in my room bouncing from one social media to another, gathering a platform of thousands of followers during it all. I was a die-hard fan for someone who I thought could really …show more content…
I always had loved Taylor Swift; but it was more of a closet case love since she was my brother and uncle’s main target in their jokes, but I was bound and determined to be her new biggest fan, so I could attend this concert. The news of the tour came in October, a time where I barely even talked to my parents; so the idea of asking them to take me across the state to a concert wasn’t even in question. After a month, while on better terms because we had just spent the weekend with my grandparents, I decided to toss the idea out there. “So you know who Taylor Swift is, well she is having a tour for her new album, and I’d like to go to it, plus Shawn Mendes will be her opening act, so it would be like my two favorite people in one concert, and I just think it’d be really enjoyable, and I can even pay for my own ticket, and make arrangements for it all.” I rambled out hoping that if I continue to talk they wouldn’t have the chance to turn down my proposition. The response devastated me “Who is Shawn Mendes?” asked my father completely forgetting the name of the person I always talked about and told them meant the world to me. My mother must have sensed the pain this caused me saying, “John, you know who he is. We will have to think about it, Brenna.” My negative mind immediately turned this into a “no” as I stomped away, shaking all the boxes laying out on the floor of my grandparents new

Coco Chanel once said, “Jump out the window if you are the object of passion. Flee it if you feel it. Passion goes, boredom remains.” The creator of classic “Chanel No. 5” perfume, started off with a small passion of making clothes. This passion grew into a worldwide known brand. Passions are like a little spark and as you keep on working, the spark turns into a flame, which is your path to success, and from a flame a roaring fire is created; the roaring fire that impacts the world. I have a passion for many things, some very similar, some very different. My passions may not be as impactful as Coco Chanel’s but my passion will impact a society. Even if that society is only one or two people. My passions are the arts, and maybe that word is stretching it a bit, but the arts are the category I am labeling my passions as. I have a passion for reading, writing, and dancing.
I agree with the belief that one must find their passion in life in order to find their purpose. If someone fails to find their passion in life they will be miserable in what their doing because their heart’s not into it. Personally my passion in life is helping others. Someone with a shared passion was Alex Scott. Duckworth
Back in November of 2016 is when I bought the tickets to the concert. You must be wondering, oh your parents just bought you the tickets like that! Well no, I had been begging them since August, I told
Taylor Swift likes to invoke a lot of emotion into her music and includes several things she has experienced in her life. One major recurring theme in her songs is love.
In a world where celebrities are often inaccessible (and I don't blame them, they have to protect themselves from crazed fans, Taylor reaches out to her fans.
In the video, How to find a Job you Love, it talks about how we need to find a job that we would enjoy, even if we screw it up. The video explains that if we are passionate for something, we should might as well make it as our job. In his video, he says, “But you’re doing work that embodies who you are.” In, The Fall, the main character loved his job, but for the wrong reasons. Although it was mostly for fame, he did it so he could get something out of it. “But, seen from the outside, it looked rather like a passion.” He did it for the opposite reasons that most people would. When we choose what to do with the rest of our lives, we should most likely choose something we would genuinely enjoy, not to get something out of
One piece of architecture I had the pleasure of visiting is the Michigan Central Station. An icon if there ever was one, representing Detroit’s rise and fall. It is so structurally sound demolition experts say would cost an estimated $5-10 Million just to demolish and anywhere from $100-300 million to renovate. More of an issue for Detroit is finding a function for the forgotten station. It was built by the same architects as New York City’s Grand Central Terminal. In service from 1913 to 1988, The Beaux-Art style was very influential during its conception. There is the train station itself and the 18 story tower situated on top of it. Its Neo-classical architecture can be appreciated from a distance. Owner Manuel Moroun has in recent years,
From country music star to pop music sensation, Taylor Swift has made a huge impact in the entertainment industry. Her interest in music started when she was a little girl and has blossomed into something millions of fans have appreciated for almost ten years, me being one of those fans. For a lot of young fans, it is more than just the music. Swift has become an icon that people look up to and inspire to be when they are older. Swift is interesting because she is an artist that has battled many things such as bullying and not fitting in at school, some of the very things I struggle with today at age 19; which is why I chose Swift as my celebrity to write.

At first glance you might think "This must be a post about a road trip right?", but it's not. This is about one of the best nights of my life. On August 25, I went to a One Direction concert with one of my best friends, Bella. In this post I'll tell you all about the concert of a life time.
“To succeed, you have to believe in something with such a passion that it become reality” (Anita Roddick). I never used to understand the true meaning of passion, I perceived life as a series of events you go to school, get a degree, get a job, get married, have kids, and then retire. It wasn’t until I made the decision to go to a school purely off of popularity that I came to understand what passion actually means. Graduating high school I made the decision to go to Virginia Tech to study Human Nutrition. During that year my grades began to slack, my motivation fluttered away, and my friendships became nonexistent. Yet the whole time one thing remained consistent and had my pure attention. That was the gym. I would be in the weight room everyday
Detroit, the motor city, known by many for cars and to others for being the murder capital of the world. This has caused many people to stop visiting and exclude Detroit from being a place of interest. I have lived here all my life, and yes, it has had its rough times, but lately Detroit has been improving drastically. The causes of the city to improve were to make people already living here feel safer. Moreover, to change our illustration as one of the most dangerous cities. In addition to this we want people to start visiting again and to see the metamorphosis that has struck our city. Many recent changes brought to our city have been architectural, criminal rates precipitating and film making. The city as a whole has been working
