The life of a teenager is a stressful one filled with proactive decision making and time in the “chamber rooms” for inspirations. A chamber room is a place where people go solve the enigmatic issues they are facing in their careers. Many groups like the Jacksons use this strategy to delve into their music and the business at hand. Curiously, I mentioned this to my group and we all agree with idea of keeping focus on our goal of music and performing. This concept has a lot to do with maturity and self discipline to not get distracted by the outside world. When you really love something and you want to be great at it you have to study and work your craft. You should also have the heart and brillance of Acticus Finch, the father of self control and discipline. Some of you may know about this man through the book, To Kill A Mockingbird, he stood in the face of segeration and racism. Mr. Finch was as gentle as dove but as power as Master Yoda. During my time of lockdown, is a time to connect with oneself and lose yourself and the music like Eminem.
Thanks for bringing up Atticus. I think of him from time to time, and I've been zealously teaching the novel every year for the last ten years of my teaching career. True, we live in a very different milieu from this archetypal lawyer, who bleeds nobility, and fortunately we don't have to deal with the blistering racism and redneck ignorance that he dealt with, but his stand-up example can apply to any rough situation. I agree with you. He exemplifies maturity.
