The part of Finding
Your Howl that stuck the most out to me is the story about Mumon the wolf.
This story is one about determination, perseverance, and hope. It takes a while
for all of us to discover our talents in life, and even when we do they require
a lot of work and dedication. I know from my own experience that finding your
true talents is difficult. I have a lot of different things that I am
interested in, but I never seem to be as good at them as I want to be. This
story is meant to inspire and show that we can overcome any challenge that may
be presented to us. Building off of these ideas, I have chosen a quote from the
lead singer of the band “Villages.”
“. . . it was always about exploring the farthest reaches of my
imagination. There’s no point in making an album unless you’re growing and
changing and learning. If it’s going to alienate narrow-minded people, that’s
sad. But maybe it will open their eyes as well.”

This quote really speaks to me for a number of reasons. Firstly, my
aspiration in life has always been guided by music. I have always wanted to be
involved in the musical process in some way whether it was by creating music,
broadcasting over the radio, or helping record. To me, this quote really
embodies the outlook that one should have when pursuing dreams like these. It’s
all about finding the creativity inside of you, pushing yourself to come up
with things that you have never heard or thought of before. On top of that, it’s
important to keep in mind to not let other people bring you down. Just because
one of your creations may not appeal to a certain person, doesn’t mean that it’s
not intriguing, new, or beautiful.
