Aaliyah: an Angel Back to Heaven

Aaliyah An Angel Back to Heaven When I was childlikeer, I looked up to my older sister a great deal. Anything that she did, I wanted to do. She was like my hero, or that cartoon reference work ever child wanted to go up and be like. When my sister and I were growing up, we listened to a lot of medicine and watched a lot of cartoons, but only because she wanted to. My sister, Christine, had a front-runner breast and singer. Now her rapper choice I thought was great but he wasnt my favorite. Christine, or sometimes Tine, favorite rapper was Tupac Shakur.though we did not agree on the same rapper, we did however, agree on our favorite singer together. We both chose an artist by the name of Aaliyah Dana Haughton. The first time I heard her music I fell in love. Aaliyah D. Haughton was born on January 16, 1979 in Brooklyn, New York. She was one of the best arranging artist of her time. I love her voice and her style. She wasnt the girly type of R&B singer that was for the most give seen. She had her own style and that is one of the things I loved about her. An opposite thing I loved about her is that her meter spoke truth and had real meaning.She didnt equitable make a song to try to make a hit. Aaliyah related to the emotions of her fans and connected people with her. Because of this, she was loved by so umpteen different types of people. Though Aaliyah was a beautiful and talented artist, she did not get to have a want life legacy. After shooting her last video, Rock the Boat, in the Bahamas, she got on a skim and left to head back to the U. S. On Augusta 25, 2001, that plane did not make it to the United States. Because they were in a rush to get back home, because they finished the video shoot early, they had to get on a smaller plane with all of their luggage.Instead of landing on an airway back in the states, the plane crashed close to 200 meters away from where it took off. The plane crashed killed everyone aboard, including my favorite singer Aa liyah. My sister came home and turned on the television. Thats when I saw it. I saw the plane burnt to black ash and people make clean up the debris. The headline flashed, Aaliyah killed in plane crash. I was so heart broken. I couldnt moot she was gone. I felt like I lost apart of me. Ever since that day, I never had a favorite singer. I felt like that place was reserved for her.People around the world knew she was special. They said she was just an angel here for a short time. She had to be sent back to heaven. This tragedy made a great impact on my life. It made me realize that even at a young age, commayou could leave-taking this world. I have three older sisters but I only spent time act to get close to one. That was my sister Christine, who I looked up to the most. After this accident, I started to bond more with my other two sisters. With this I also begin to bond more with my nieces, nephews, parents, and my younger cousins.Though Aaliyah was not a part of my own famil y, I felt like she was a family member I lost. She did more than entertain with her music. She was a role model for me. I loved her poise, her style, the way she talked, and just even the things she was about. even out though I did not know her personally by meeting her, I felt like I knew a great deal about her from her music and the things I use to read about her. Even though I was only eight years old when Aaliyah died, it impacted my life a great deal. Though I did not get to meet her personally, her death made me realize things at a young age.Of course I knew that everyone was to die, but that would happen when they were real old. It never occurred to me that young people died everyday until her death. Even at a very young age, it made me realize, though it had been preached in church, that everyday is not promised. When I started to bond with my family more, there were less problems and more laughter. I even helped my mothers and fathers side of the family bond more. This has changed my life greatly, because I have such a great support brass now. Though her death was a tragedy, it brought joy into my life and my family.
