HW #31
The song that I chose is called "Strength''and is by Whitney Houston.It some times makes me cry because it reminds me of my aunt Maxine who died.She used to say ''Even though Im dying I still have strength''.So now I love that song .In the song Whitney Houston was saying she didnt know her strength.That part reminds me of myself because you never know your own strength until like somebody mess with you and you just wild out.
