Ready to Die is a very thought provoking song created by the notorious B.I.G (biggie smallz), for why would anyone say that they are ready to die. However the more I thought about it I realized that this song relates to my life. It challenged my thinking in more ways than one, for why would anyone want to speak their own death into the atmosphere. The answer to my question was right in front of me. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that this song relates to my life. In this song it talks about how he was ready to kill himself over all the horrible obstacles, and malicious things he had done in his life. However, at the age of twelve, when I was living with my abusive parents I pondered the same thoughts. The negative things that befell me made me want to seek out thoughts of suicide. Fortunately, my new parents taught me to never speak anything negative into the atmosphere. When I learned how Biggie Smalls died, I pushed all those thoughts of suicide out of my head and became a more positive person. I became determined to not let my situation get the best of me. I learned to survive my difficult hardships Moreover, instead of being ready to die, I am ready to achieve my dreams of attending the University of Virginia, because I am ready to live.
