Woodwinds
Love and Attachments
The woodwinds are known to carry the melody and provide a softer sound than the brass. There are high and low sounding woodwind instruments that are similar to the different types of love we can feel. The flutes and piccolos show a bright love full of joy while bassoons and saxophones show the deep love that comes with time. I personally play clarinet and it is a medium tone that shows the steady love we feel for family and close friends. They can be the melody of our lives or play a role in the pulse or base.
As a freshman, I joined the Colony of SAI at UNC Charlotte. It is a music based female fraternity. I am so thankful for all of the amazing ladies I met and we recently finally got initiated as a chapter at UNCC, so they are now officially my sisters! They have brought me so much happiness and I am so glad to have joined when I did. They have broadened the amount of people I have formed attachments with at Charlotte and being a sister has opened up opportunities to form attachments with many other sisters nationwide as I grow. It is these attachments that have given me greater happiness now and I know will continue to do so for years.

When taking this quiz for class, it had not been the first time I had taken it. I had taken it a few times before and never really done anything with the information. Taking it in the context of this class gave me a new perspective of the results. We had to read all about how attachments and love help to give us happiness and can help extend our lifetimes before I retook this test, and going into it knowing this enhanced the effect my results had on my perspective. Knowing that I most value physical touch and acts of service as communication of love helps me now to understand those who are best for me and my happiness. I can now rely more on the people who are willing to show their love to me in the most meaningful way than those who can't. I also found that my result reflected how I tend to express my love to other and this has helped me become more aware of when I do it and has made me express it more often in a bid to make those around me happier.

This is my favorite quote. I have lost a few people who were very close to me throughout my life, and this quote has helped me many times to cope and move on from my losses. This quote also kind of plays into the idea from the book of belief in a higher being having an impact on someone's happiness. Humans want to know that here is somewhere to go for the dead and for many, the idea of their deceased watching over them brings them a good amount peace. This quote reflects this idea and brings it even closer to home for me because the context of it is when the main character is grieving a loss and his godfather is the one to tell him this. I lost my mother as a teenager and sometimes, it is really hard to live without her. Believing in the idea behind this quote gives me a lot of peace and makes me love those I have even more.
