The way I connect to this article is through the way she talks about her different selfs and how they all have big meanings to different parts of peoples daily lives. I also connected to the end of the article when she talks about community being plagued by technology and other many other things that our daily lives have adjusted to. I felt I connected most because I'm kind of the same in the way that I have lost most of my cultural side.

I connected to this article because it talks deeply about the struggle of balancing school and tradition. When reading I realised the author went through a lot when transitioning into boarding school life. The was what I connected to because when I was younger I felt that school really stopped me from practicing my traditions and keeping the cultural things within me alive. Also how after time school took over my life, but also gave me more room for myself

I connect to this article because the speaker compares a colonial view to a more traditional Diné view. This is my reason because I'm also Diné and I agree with a lot of her views and beliefs. She talks about her unique insight into the power of words. I like when she talked about the fact that every place with a name have and tell a story that tells us something about the past and ourselves

Music Therapy in Psychological and educational context: Enhancing emotional and cognitive development of students - YingDong Guo
This article talked about a study on how music therapy affects emotional and cognitive development in young individuals. It talks about a study that included 140 students from a Ukraine university. 70 students were diagnosed with clinical depression and another 70 were shown with no mental illnesses. The study showed that music therapy led to a significant improvement in both a psychological and educational context. Both showed improvement when a music therapy was used with minor difference in results based on the person. These findings showed that when used in the right context music and music therapy can be used to improve both on a psychological and educational base.
