What would you say was your theme song for 2017?

Donovan Robertson, Penn Foster Online High School

“It has to be ‘See You Again’ by Tyler, The Creator because it has so much emotion and the first time I heard it, it made me think of rainbows and a whole bunch of colors.”

Ethan Torres, graduate of East Mountain High School

“The song that captivated me would have to be ‘Perfect Places’ by Lorde. The song lyrically and melodically is an anthem to finding a “perfect place” for belonging. This year, I have gotten to go to places that have made me do just that, made me grow as a person.”

Alana Williams, New Mexico School for the Arts

“I would have to say my favorite song from the year is ‘Young Dumb and Broke’ by Khalid. It basically sums up what it’s like to be a teenager and encourages me to live life in the moment and enjoy my youth.”

Kristiana Martinez, Time4Learning Homeschool

“My theme (most listened to) song of 2017 was: ‘All Eyes on You’ by Katy McAllister because of its upbeat background to the deep lyrical standpoint on being a beautiful, independent female.”

Osman Chavarria, Santa Fe High

“My theme song currently for the year of 2017 is ‘Mic Drop’ from BTS, because BTS is one of my favorite K-pop groups, and it’s the song that gets the most recognition in the U.S.”

Damaris Ramirez, graduate of Cajon High School

“My theme song of this year has been ‘This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things’ by Taylor Swift. I recently have heard some false rumors about me, and usually I don’t let things like that get to me, but this was a serious rumor and I had to clear those rumors up with a lot of family and close friends. This song, I feel, defines my situation perfectly.”
