What Music Means to Me

Music is a big part of my life because it is something that I've been listening to music growing up as a kid. Music is a like an escape for me because when i listen to music i get lost in the lyrics and forget about everything going on around me. My taste in music is all over the place because I like different types of music. I listen to trap and rap music most of the time. Trap music isn't the most appropriate type of music because it talks about a lot of violence and drugs but they all have a story and thats what I like about that type of music. My favorite trap artist is Chief Keef because i really like his music, its something I can listen to all day and i find him really interesting, I've watched one short little documentary about him and his music really relates to what he talks about. Another reason why I find him really interesting is because he is really crazy and reckless. Another type of music that i like to listen to are corridos and banda. Since i grew up in a hispanic family I grew up listening to that type of music and I'm in the car with my dad a lot and he listens to corridos a lot so its just something that I've gotten used to. We go to a lot of parties and they always play banda and it has a nice beat.  

Problems & Struggles

Here in Bell Highschool students go through some struggles on a daily basis. One of the biggest struggles in high school is homework. Most students have AP classes and they have more than one which means that they get a lot of homework and most students are involved in sports which means that they have to keep their grade up so that they can remain on the team. That causes a lot of stress for students because you have to worry about a lot of things. I know this because I am going through that situation. Well i don't have Ap classes yet because i am barley a freshman but i still have to worry about my grades. I am on the Tennis team and i am in varsity but what worries me is that i am going to get bad grades and then i will not be able to play. That has been causing me a lot of stress.

The Most Interesting Person in the World!

The most interesting person to me is my cousin Edward. He was born in Mexico and came over to the US when he was 13 years old. He managed to learn English pretty fast and at this point he knows more words than me. The reason he is very interesting to me is because of his stories. He lives in Phenix Arizona but he comes to California a lot because most of our family lives in California. And sometimes we to Arizona with them. Since it is a 6 hour trip it gets pretty boring, that is why i always want to be in the same car as him. He always has stories to say that he has experienced whether its at school or when he goes to visit family in Mexico. Our family is really strange and you will never expect the things that are going to happen. Well he makes the trip g by really fast with his stories and he makes me laugh a lot. But besides the stories he tells i also think that he is interesting because he is like a role model to me because he came from Mexico not knowing any English and he is now getting scholarships and letters from universities.

My Anti Drug

My anti drug would music. Music is something that has been a big part of my life, ever since I was a little kid I enjoyed listening to music. I would always watch MTV back when they would play music. I always listen to music when I'm in school and out of school. I can literally listen to music all day. When every I'm mad or feeling down I just listen to music to get my mind off of things and it really does help a lot. When ever I have a game and I'm nervous I just listen to music to get pumped up. So i say that music had been my anti drug.

An Inconvenient Truth

In the movie, An Inconvenient Truth I learned a lot about the weather and it had me thinking about things that I never really thought about. I learned there are many people in the world that are doing things to the Earth and they don't know that they are doing harm to our planet. In the documentary it talked about how most places would be flooded and thats a really scary thought. It also talked about Greenland and Antarctica and how 40% of the people depend on them so if those places were to melt we would know we were in some kind of problem. One part that really made me think was when we was gold bars and planet Earth on a scale, it made me think about how people care more about money rather than our only living planet. This documentary was really interesting and it made me she life in a different way.

My Review of The Elephant Man

The Elephant Man was a really interesting movie and I really enjoyed watching it. At first I really didn’t understand the movie and I was pretty confused on what was going on. After watching and reviewing it for several days I really understood what was going on. The Elephant Man was based on a true story so I think that’s what made it interesting. The Elephant Man was about a guy that was deformed and a doctor from the London Hospital wanted to see this Elephant Man and he takes care of him and they become really good friends. The movie is really interesting I can’t say that I was bored of watching it at one point because I really enjoyed this movie. The movie was a really serious and sad movie. This movie had symbolism but it wasn’t that easy to find. The Elephant Man was a symbol of Jesus Christ and it was pretty interesting cause I never really thought that The Elephant Man can symbolize someone so important. Thos are my thoughts on The Elephant Man.  

My Name is John Merrick...

Today was a very special day for me because I became an official resident of the London hospital. When I got the news for Dr. Frederick Treves, the Mothershead, and Carr Gomm I was really surprised because the London Hospital was going to be my home. After the surprising news I then got a gift from Dr. Frederick Treves and he unwrapped it for me. It was a box and I wasn’t sure what it was and the Dr. Frederick Treves opened it and he it was a dressing case. I was really thankful because I’ve never really had something nice before. Later that night I was well dressed and I was using my dressing case. I really liked it and I was having a lot of fun with it. Everything was going well and I was a having a good because of all the good news. I was in my own little fantasy and I was having a great time, until the door opened and I saw the Night Porter. I was in shock so I froze and then all these people were looking at me. Then they all came in and it was just terrifying. Then they all left and I was dramatized, I was sleeping in my bed when I see Mr. Bytes. I was really terrified because i thought that i was going to get hit but i didn't. Mr. Bytes just touched my hair in a weird way. Then he just took my away with him.
