Flight of thoughts describes what goes on inside my mind and what I observe when I look within. The music tells the story of my thoughts journey to my consciousness. These thoughts have to face many challenges as a person does in real life. The few that survive are the very best. They pass through obstacles like logic and morality before maturing.

The entry I am submitting is an original music composition. The contest theme Look Within reminded me of my oldest sister. She has a condition called selective mutism that makes it very hard talking to people and making friends. The song tells a story about a girl inspired by my sister, who is too afraid to speak up and make friends. The chorus encourages her to look within and find her voice. In the second verses she finds the courage to make a friend. I wrote the words to the chorus first then found a chord progression.

My dad was hurt at work. We became homeless for a year after. We moved to Nevada two years ago. I took this picture in front of our new apartment at the time. My mom says rain is tears from heaven. My grandpa died just after my dad's injury. I think it was my grandpa crying that we had a new home finally.

I love going to school. I love my teacher but sometimes I get frustrated and upset when she screams at kids. When I think about it and look within, I feel sorry for her. I realize how patient she is, even when kids don't behave. If I think about my actions, I feel I am a good student and I try my best to not disappoint her. I feel for her. That's why I wrote this song for her. I want to let her know that I understand her situation and whenever I look within I feel love for her.

In my piece I drew a teenage boy who is all stern and tough on the outside, while he's beautiful, gentle, and feminine on the inside. This is supposed to illustrate how we need to look within people to see their true personality, rather than judging people off of their appearance.

Seaside Sickness, is a 12x12 inch colored pencil self portrait. The theme "Look Within" inspired me to create a piece that shows the vulnerability and fragility of a person. The sheer fabric that I chose to incorporate represents the small layer that is between a person and their vulnerability. The fabric is covering the face, but allows for the person to still be seen underneath, showing what is truly behind the thin layer between oneself and the world, Look Within.

My composition consists of me singing with the accompaniment of the piano played by myself. The song shows how you should accept who and what you are and that nobody's perfect. It relates to the theme by explaining how you should look within yourself to find that you are worth more than you believe you are. Whenever in doubt, reflect and realize that you matter.

"In the Dark" depicts a girl looking into a dark corridor and seeing the monster within. The monster is supposed to represent the darkness inside the girl, along with her inner turmoil. As the theme is "Look Within," I decided she would be both literally looking into the corridor and figuratively looking within herself at her own insecurities.

When I considered the theme, I thought that looking within another person involves seeing their many layers. I drew an onion with brightly colored layers to represent the complicated yet beautiful layers of a person. On the surface, we see the outer layer (the plant leaves), but when we go deeper, we discover each person's unique features. I included the roots and soil in my drawing because we are all connected and influenced by our environment. I want to be the person who looks for the unique layers in others and is willing to reveal my own.

Accept yourself for the way you are and others will recognize you (the way you are), but it all starts from within. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, sometimes you have to "Look Within" to find true kindness and beauty. Not everything lies on the surface, to truly get to know something you have to "Look Within."

Polls will show trends of increasing pessimism and cynical thinking. It's important we don't lose sight of hope, even when all around us are hopeless. This short story details a woman introspectively facing her impending death and deciding she could find light in the darkest moment of her life, if she looks within. Before this story was written, I had drafted the first two sentences of it and it was submitted to a writing blog and published on my behalf for a writing prompt contest. I then used the prompt to finish the story with the theme, Look Within.

Someone might be mean or hurtful, but you don’t know why, so you label them or judge them. But maybe they have been through hard things, or still going through things. Such as abuse, problems with their families, or they don’t have a safe place to go. But if you talk to them or say hi and hangout with them then you could see who they are inside and you could help them. You have to be able to look through it. My project shows that someone’s words and actions can be very different than what is inside.

Look within a person because looks can be deceiving and you never know what is happening on the inside of the person, you never know what's happening at home, school, or inside themselves so don't judge be a friend and most importantly Be Kind. #stopbulling!! /Describing/ There is a young girl who wears a smile on her face but inside she is crying.

Manipulating your outer image is the easiest way to protect yourself from the eyes of peers, parents, and social media. Lucky enough, teens have almost perfected doing so. We fine-tune everything to create a new composite, something a little less "us" is the goal. This obsession can cause the things we value to drift. Looking within and asking yourself, "What gives me drive?", "What inspires me?" etc. and not being able to think of anything is the price we have to learn to pay. In the end though, it's "whatever!" We're all a little lost in space anyway.

Like us, flowers also go through life. Looking into the past, I feel that my childhood was very tender. In the beginning, I introduced a pattern setting a quiet tone, resembling the sprouting flowers and my naps as a toddler. I also described the fears of growing up and the danger of the winter wind with chord inversions. Looking into the future, I see myself rising to the stars and falling as my body starts to decline. I include a cadenza signaling the downfall of the plant but then repeat the intro to indicate that another blossom is born.

I chose to do my reflections because I love art! The theme is look within. When I think about looking within, I think about what is inside my self. I made a 3D sculpture of myself. I love nature because you can explore more than you can inside that is why I made myself outside. I am looking in a mirror to see what is inside of me. Unique, smart, caring, creative, and joyful are some of the things I am. It took me soooooooooooooo looooooooooong and I hope you like it.

I was inspired by a story I wrote for fun and decided to write this. It shows a girl who lost all hope looking within her heart to find the courage to break free of the chains that held her in the past where she was alone.
"We are so unused to emotion
that we mistake any depth of feeling
for sadness, any sense of the unknown
for fear, and any sense of peace fore boredom.
I use solitude now like a lamp to illumine corners I've never seen. And though I am scared at times that, after all this way, I will come up empty, I still believe that going inside and bringing whatever I find out makes all the difference. "

I chose to present my self portrait as if you were looking at me and my dreams and things I love are bursting out of my heart. It has both watercolor and pencil to show the contrast between how I present myself on the outside and what I am on the inside, the part that truly makes me me. I draw my interests and hopes flowing out straight from my heart as if they have been waiting for this moment.

I dedicate this dance to all the kids who are victims of bullying. When someone discourages you, show them who you are and what you are capable of. "Look within" yourself, realize your strengths, develop your own beliefs and build courage to create your own way! Learn from the past and leave fear to build a successful future.
I choreographed this dance based on a mix of Indian classical dance (bharatanatyam), hip hop and ballet movements. I used hand gestures called "mudras" in Bharatanatyam to enact some of the expressions for the lyrics.

My composition represents the internal journey of my nationality. The song begins with a very familiar Chinese melody. As time goes on, the melody grows to become more complicated. The most intense part of the song represents the battle the two sides of me face: the side that was raised in America and the one that was born in China. The ending of the song represents my realization that I do not have to pick a side and redefined by the words "American" or "Chinese." I can be myself.

I wrote about autism because I wanted to teach people how to understand me. The contest is about Looking Within so my poem looks within me to help others know about autism. I loved writing it because it helped me to take a look at myself and grow up more.

As a brown dancer, there are so many challenges to overcome. I've wanted to quit and thought I wasn't good enough because of my skin color, shape of my body and kink of my hair. I was made to dye by ballet shoes, suck in my bottom and straighten my hair to "fit in". For 14 years, I've been a dancer trying to change things within myself to be like the dancers around me. Now, I've realized that I am beautiful and my melanin gives me a superpower by helping me break barriers for other brown skin dancers.

When I look within my mom, I see someone kind, strong, brave and amazing. I love her so much. This fall she was diagnosed with cancer. My family was really sad about it. My look within project is about all the doctors who helped her get well. I hope this inspires other cancer victims. Enjoy!!!

My piece of work shows what I go through as I interact with others. Putting the time to myself to the side in order to give the people whom I love what they need, not seeing that giving myself time affects how I act.

I have taken a more literal point of view to the theme, Look Within. I used snoring and a heartbeat in my piece. You may also examine my piece from another perspective. I chose to symbolize humanity as a whole. Historically, people’s personal opinions were not influenced by the technology and social media that is widespread today. As the piece progresses, you will hear the loops and beats transition towards techno-sounding music. Listen closely to my saxophone part. It uses Morse code to spell out “brains”, which transitions to “AI” through the piece.

Outstanding Interpretation | Intermediate Division | Stonewall Elementary PTA, Kentucky
I've been thinking about what I can do to help our world. I may only be a kid, but i spend a lot of time thinking about how to make a difference. It takes a lot of courage to express what I'm feeling inside, but I know that until I give my inside thoughts a voice that I can't make things happen or be the real me. It's scary to think about stepping up to make a change, but I know I can do it! We all have a "Super H" inside!

This Has To Change was written to express my anticipation for new beginnings and desire to leave the past behind. As fifth grade is my last year of elementary school, I thought it should be a good one. My worst fear was that it would be a disaster like my previous years. However, I was quite mistaken. This song is all about reflection and looking within yourself; deciding what, if anything, has to change hence the name. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, and I hope you enjoy my masterpiece! Your Student, Jane
