A Bit Of Jonas (The verson I'll send to the boys)

I go to the East Bay MET School in Newport, Rhode Island. It’s a weird school where we don’t have classes and we study what we would like to do after school, and our common interests. I study Animal rights. But that’s not important, right now anyway. I was asked to write a college themed essay. I love to write, just a fun fact. Anyways, the essay had to be about whom inspires me. I picked the Jonas Brothers.

A Bit Of Jonas

 

In all honestly I don’t know exactly who inspires me. When I’m asked who inspires me A few humans come to mind. Those few are Pete Wentz and the Jonas Brothers. I guess I consider Pete my Idol, someone I can really look up too and make me go “Why, I want to be like him”. Sometimes I wonder why, though. Then again, the Jonas Brothers changed me a lot since when I was younger. I guess Jonas Brothers have had the greatest impact on me, and for some odd reason, Joe has caught my attention the most. He isn’t the songwriter (Well they write together, but Nick writes most of the music), he isn’t the one who his battling diabetes, (Which I respect nick greatly for his impact on other kids who also have diabetes.). He seems honestly different then his brothers, not like so different that he will smoke pot and have sex before marriage, or something like that. He just seems, different? I can’t exactly explain why.

First, I will start talking about all three boys. Each one is special, but they all seem like genially nice guys. Kevin, he is the sweetest of the three. He seems like a goof but he is willing to love whomever he meets. He tells you the truth, but is a sweet heart about it. Nick is a genius, no questions asked. The boy can make anything sound beautiful. His songs are outstanding for his age. He seems so grown up, and so strong since he is battling Diabetes. He is indeed Mr. President. Now Joe, as I like to call him, Joey. He is weird; he’ll do anything to make someone laugh. He is simply a goof. He can make me laugh when I don’t even want to smile. The boy has matured a lot since his younger days, but sometimes he looks like as if the world hates him.

I find weird things in people that inspire me, like Joe. He’s a goofy boy and that’s what stands out to me the most. I like being able to laugh and the boy always seems to do that for me. Then theirs the purity rings, I’m not Christian but I find the belief in the rings something good, that kids should look up too. Like I said, those boys changed my life. The funny part is though; I hated them one time. I liked them when they started out, but once they hit it big I figured their pure images would change. During that time that I hated them I found myself with bad friends and with a life I didn’t like. I ended up self harming and hating who I was. I fell into a depression that I hid extremely well. Then these boys popped up again. Life changed. I started to listen to them, and getting to know them as people again. I found out they weren’t as bad as I thought; they were so much better. Slowly I saw a change in myself. I transferred high schools and I ended up buying a purity ring after a while. It’s the first time in my life that someone I don’t even know can cheer me up on my bad days. When I’m down I just watch a Jonas video from their youtube, and then everything seems better.

I paid more attention to Joe, I noticed. I don’t know exactly why. I think it’s because I noticed people treat him kind of like people treat me. Honestly, I don’t try to let people’s mean words about the boys or him get to me. I don’t care what people think of me or of what I do. For some reason I take it personal when people make fun of the Jonas brothers (especially friends) because to me they saved my life. If it weren’t for them I wouldn’t be here right now. That’s probably why I take it personal, those boys helped me through a lot and it upsets me that people would make fun of them, without even knowing them. Like I so ignorantly hated them because I knew fame can get to peoples head. Never happened to them though.

So the Jonas Brothers were the ones who have impacted my life the most. I know this essay will get laughed at because people believe that they are just some kind of dumb boy band, but in fact they are real people. They have emotions and heart. It shows when they perform and write. I honestly don’t care that most people my age hate them (I’m 18). The Jonas Brothers are good, wholesome boys. They have clean music that is inspiring. The only thing that turns people off about them is that they are signed with Disney. Most Disney music, I’d admit, I don’t like. These boys though have talent and I believe that Disney is holding them back. This isn’t the last time you heard of them. They haven’t shown exactly what kind of talent they have yet. Someday we’ll see though, these boys are talented, heartfelt, intelligent, and genuinely sweet humans. They are a force to be reckon with!
