Have you ever wondered when music began? Why did music begin? As I ponder this question, my conclusion considers that the early melodic strains were reproduced to mimic the ambient music of nature. Our society has become so restless and busy that we miss out of nature?s sweetest sounds. I?ve always loved music! Music can quiet the soul and calm the spirit. My early fascination with a music box came when I was just a little girl. A ballerina music box was given to me when I was six years old. Whenever I got into trouble with my folks, I would retreat to my bedroom, grab my ballerina music box, lay crossways the bed; wind the ballerina up and the music would begin. I would watch her twirl effortlessly as the music flowed from the base.

In the United States, many people know about Cinco de Mayo. Huge crowds cannot move to start the festivities every May. But few know the really history for this Mexican celebration. The average mortal in the States will say it has something to do with “the Mexican freedom thing,” that is not the truth. Independence Day for Mexico is the 16th of September.

During the 1950s, the United States had a program called The Good Neighbor Policy that encouraged Americans to reach out to our neighboring countries. Cinco de Mayo was first introduced to Americans at this time. In the 1960s, Chicano activists prefabricated the holiday more visible as a method to inspire cultural pride among Mexican-Americans.

As a little girl, I loved dressing up with one of Mama?s pretty dresses, wearing her ?pop beads? and a big, floppy hat while hobbling down the hallway in her high heels. Imagining myself to be very beautiful, I would pretend to be a princess. Early on, lots of little girls dream of being gorgeous and making a difference in this world. Then over the course of time, people begin to make sure you know that you are only or less than ordinary, say hurtful things to you and one day you realize you?ve lost that dream.
