The Word Warrior

Introduction:
Carl Von Clausewitz said, “Courage, above all things, is the first step in becoming a warrior.” When deciding what word to use, I contemplated what word best describes myself. The word handsome would have been too easy. Smart would have been a stretch; however, when I looked into the mirror, I saw myself clothed in armour, and who wears armour? Warriors.

She informed us that there is not a challenge that her uncle cannot overcome. The two remaining thought about their high school football team and the main character in a video game. The football team was described as warriors due to the fact that they often lose, yet they face each game with a new mindset and strength. The video game took me a little by surprise. They guy chose a main character in a video game, because he conquers all every time; he is also who everyone desires to be. The older group mostly looked towards the soldiers; four out of ten chose the army for their dedication and strength to defend our country. Three of the
The song starts with the lyrics that talk about her never being able to tell this story and how she was weaker before. “I was broken and bruised”(youtube, 2013). The chorus proclaims that now she is a warrior and she is stronger than she has ever been. Based off of the lyrics, the song is about someone hurting her and making her grow up too fast. The lyrics read, “there is a part of me that I cannot get back- a little girl who grew up too fast”. At the age five she was a singer and the age seven, she was an actor (youtube, 2013) At the age of 14 she was exposed to mean comments and gossip. She became bulimic at the age of 14 and also began to take out her emotions on her wrist (youtube, 2013). On youtube.com a video has her talking to ABC news about the song warrior; she says she all the previous aspects are what inspired her to write the song, and she considers herself a warrior(youtube, 2013). Demi sings, “now I am taking my life back”. She even went and got a permanent reminder on her left shoulder that says, “I am a warrior”(youtube,
