Goonies

Hey everyone. Mariah here. Movies surround us everywhere. They are probably one of the things that defines our culture today. They seem to connect to you rather easily or somehow appeal to your emotional desire. Whether it's your favorite book turned into a movie, your favorite celebrity, or simply looks like a good movie, we all love movies. The thing is, despite this idea that we love a movie simply because it's a movie, there is actually more to that. We love movies because we can connect to them or can somehow relate. That's what makes movies so enjoyable, the fact that that can actually happen to you or has already happened to you. One movie which relates to me and my life is the GOONIES. Probably one of, if not the greatest movie of the 80s, arguable of course. Basically, a group of kids go on a wild adventure hoping to find a lost treasure. Uniting them as friends. It proves to showcase that no matter what life throws at you, enjoy the adventures because those are the best times. Even with friends, you never know how long you may get to see them. This is true for high school. You go on this journey for four years with your friends, and they are the ones who support you along the way and help you achieve your goals. Because in the end, the journey is totally worth it regardless of setbacks and obstacles. That is true for me and my life. I face many obstacles daily, especially in school. I know that in the end, it will be worth it all though especially with the goals of going to college.
