"Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield.

At the beginning of the course, I like my students to listen to this song, which for me, is a hymn of how a person can do whatever they want, starting whenever they want. It also helps me and inspires me to be myself, trust myself and makes me make an effort to work exactly as I think I can; for each person is unique, has an only voice and, for me, should work hard for what she or he wants in life.

Here are the lyrics:

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned.

CHORUS: Staring at the blank page before you, Open up the dirty window  Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it, Release your inhibitions. Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you, Only you can let it in, No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips, Drench yourself in words unspoken, Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes,  but I can't live that way

CHORUS (x3)
