Michael Jackson was born August 29, 1958 in Gary Indiana. Michael Jackson is someone I have grown up listening to and have always loved Michael Jackson. When I was younger my mom would always play his music in the car and we were both jamming. His music was so much different than anyone else’s which makes his music so priceless because nobody could make music like him. People were jealous of him because he was so talented he even bought and owned the right to the Beatles albums.
In 1993 he was accused of sexual assault and began his first trial in 2005. When I heard about this I was shocked and couldn’t believe it. The guy who said Michael Jackson touched him came out years after Michael’s death which makes Michael’s case unbelievable. I notice how many famous people who are praised for their good work are hated by people who try to find bad things or start rumors about that person. Michael grew up in a large family. He had five brothers whose names were Jackie,Tito,Jermaine,Marlon,and Randy and three sisters Rebbie,Latoya,and Janet. When he was younger he started a singing group with his family and they were called the “Jackson Five.”
The Jackson’s started this group because Michaels father needed the extra money since they grew up in a poor family. Eventually they grew big and this affected his childhood because there was no Christmas and no birthdays. Realizing having everything won’t satisfy you or make you happy. As my mom told me whenever we leave this earth we aren’t taking any of those things with us that we want or have. My mom was telling me about this ten year old kid who shot his mom just because he didn’t get a virtual reality headset that he asked from his mom. When I heard this I was very shocked because it seems so hard to believe. This situation reminds me that on Christmas it’s not about what you want, it’s about what you need and what you have, including family.
When I was younger I always just cared about presents but the older I got I started to see less value in those things versus focusing on what I need and spending time with my wonderful family who cares and loves me. Presents are nice but it’s not all we should focus on. We should also focus on the things we need and what we do have because until we lose those things then we feel worse than what we don’t have.
Well, I hope you enjoyed most of all stay safe and stay positive and spend time focusing on what you have now.
