The song “Miss Independent” describes me because I am very independent. I think and feel what I want and I’m never afraid to tell people what I feel. I always speak my mind. I don’t let people tell me what to do or how to act. I don’t like to be like everyone else, I like to stand out. Sometimes people don’t like independent people because they are different from others. This song is trying to show that when it says, “I can’t figure it out there's something about her.” People sometimes can’t figure out what they like about someone, but somehow there is always something that attracts them.

Another reason “Miss Independent” describes me is because I don’t need other people to lean on. Of course I need my family, but I will do perfectly fine in the world without a boy at my side. I’m not dependent on a boy to love or care for me. If there is someone in my life like that, then I will enjoy it, but I do not need that feeling. In the song it says, “Kinda woman that want you, but don’t need you.” I know that I want someone who is going to love me, but I do not need that to be myself. Some people feel like they need someone else to help them survive, but really the other person is making them weaker. People have to be strong enough to live on their own before they can invite someone else into their life. If someone depends too strongly on another person, then when that person leaves, they will have no idea how to continue on and how to live without someone else always there. I have been raised in such a way that I know better then to do this. My parents have taught me to be very independent and to not let anyone else control me.

“Miss Independent” also describes me because I feel like I am made for a well educated and sophisticated man. If there is someone that I think is not going to help me get to my fullest potential, then he is not right for me. I do not want someone that is going to think he has power over me because no man does. I am strong and I need a man that is going to compliment me. By that I mean someone who is also smart and wants to work and accomplish things. I need someone that is going to compliment me personality wise. When it says, “She made for a boss, only a boss anything less she telling them to get lost that’s the girl that’s on my mind” it shows that when someone knows what they want and who they are made for, they don’t want anything less then what they feel they deserve.
