‘Born This Way’

“I’M BEAUTIFUL in my way, coz God makes no mistakes, I’m on the right track, baby, I was born this way!”

I just love listening to this song of Lady Gaga. It inspires me to be my real self and not to mind the judgment of other people.

Whenever I’m tired and exhausted, I just turn on the stereo, watch MTV or listen to my Ipod to hear the music that I love the most. It makes me feel so comfortable. It makes me forget temporarily the ordeals and trials that I had experienced in my life. It’s like a sort of a portal that leads my way to escape the reality.

“Born this Way” is a song that depicts a sheer forecast of optimism. It inspires you to continue your goals and forget all the darkness you had faced in your life.

I’m so thankful that listening to my favorite song became so much easier than the usual ways. Whenever I want to listen “Born this Way,” I can just turn on my cell phone or MP3 player. I can also amplify its music volume by inserting a flash drive into a DVD. Thanks for being digitally minded, I can easily find many ways to hear my favorite songs.

As the song says, “No matter gay, straight or bi-sexual, lesbian, transgender life, I’m on the right track, baby I was born to survive. No matter black, white, beige, chola or orient-made. I’m on the right track, baby. I was born to be brave!”

For me, this song reminds me of something. The lyrics were just simple, but it reveals the fact that a person can move forward if he is brave, persistent and full of determination. I realized then, “Why should I stop being what I wanted to be, as long as I work cleanly. I can do everything I want, and no one’s stopping me, because I was born this way!” (Danjerick Pantilagan of Suarez National High School)
