Prepare a presentation in which you take us through the soundtrack of your life. We want to hear the following:
1. A piece of music that represents (part of) your childhood
2. A piece of music that reflects who you are at the moment
3. A piece of music that gives us insight into how you see your future
Obviously all these songs should be introduced and explained in a structured and entertaining manner. Please use visuals to support your presentation. Think beyond showing a YouTube clip.
