Kennedy Pernell

“It’s fun to be able to write a song you can see yourself in,” junior Kennedy Pernell said. “ I always liked writing; I loved poetry and music, and it mixed my love of words and music. If you do a good job with a song, it’s kind of like a story, and it’s like poetry. You can analyze it and figure out who’s behind it. It’s almost a perfect translation to what a person is and how a person feels. Even if you’re not good at it, even if you don’t know what you’re doing, even if your results are terrible, the more you have fun, the more you’ll learn. You’ll be better at it, and then someday you’ll have an outcome that you’ll be really proud.”
