5 Things We Can Learn From Finding Nemo
quotes gram

"Finding Nemo" has always been one of my top five favorite movies. This past week, my mom and I went to see the sequel "Finding Dory." I love what Disney has done with these two movies and how both of the movies teach children and adults some great life lessons.

1. It is okay to be different.

In the movie series, Nemo has a deformity which Marlin refers to as his "lucky fin." This teaches us so much. Not only does Nemo learn to be okay with his deformity, he also powers through how he learns differently. As a future teacher, this is an important lesson to both children and adults because everyone is different and that is totally okay!


2. Disabilities should be accepted.

In the movie, Dory suffers from short term memory loss. This teaches us to be patient and how we can learn from those with disabilities. Marlin and Nemo both ask the question, "What would Dory Do?" and they while Marlin does get a little frustrated at times, Nemo is always there to encourage them both just like we should be.

3. Friendship turns into family.

Dory, Marlin, and Nemo become friends that everyone longs for. They do everything together and they always have each other's backs. When you are watching the cute animation on the screen, you are longing to have those bonds or you're already thinking about how you and your friends are like that. These bonds are what turn our friends into our family. Friendships are forever.


4. Just keep swimming.

Life can be so hard but "Finding Nemo" teaches us that when life throws us a curve ball, we have to keep swimming through life and figure it out.

5. No matter what happens, never forget where you came from.

In the movies, both Nemo and Dory get lost from their friends and family. During these turns of events, the fish show us that no matter what situation you are in, never forget where you come from. Down the road someone will recognize you or you can teach them about your background. Where you came from can be very handy!

We can learn a lot by these cute little fish if we just keep our eyes open and swim!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
