If were to meet someone famous WHO would it be???

       If I could meet any celebrity I would meet Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick Lamar is a Compton born rapper that has made numerous chart topping songs. I have enjoyed Kendrick Lamars music since I'd say 2012. For me I like rappers such as Kendrick who aren't super cliche and cheesy like some of today's rappers. He is very excplicit in his raps as he usually refrences modern day problems, growing up in a rough neighborhood like Compton and The "black" struggle. This is why I'd love to meet him because he seems so knowledgeable in his rhymes and so socially conscious. From these traits he has I feel like he would be able to teach me a lot from his own expirences about the world and life itself which in this life is something extremely valuable.

Happiness

- Happiness is that new shoe smell

- Happiness is the anticipation for that ups truck

-Happiness is the feeling of a fresh haircut

-Happiness is standing the hot steamy shower in your own thoughts

-Happiness is the smile on you're parents face when you bring home those 3s and 4a

-Happiness is the feeling of ears popping then realizing you're on your way to paradise

- Happiness is when that certain smell brings you back to a childhood memory

- Happiness is that ripping of the first present on the 25th

- Happiness is the feeling of perservance 

-Happiness is knowing your friend is reliable in hard times

- Happiness is when a song relates to your current feelings

- Happiness is when the grandchildren reunite

-Happiness is the finally breaking in of those new shoes

-Happiness is ridding on the highway with a view of the skyline

- Happiness is finishing that last piece of homework

- Happiness is popping bubble wrap

- Hapiness is seeing that golden arch when your hungry

- Hapiness is the relief of getting that test back and knowing you passed

- Happiness is watching those videos where the military parents come back to see their children

- Happiness is taking of the plastic on a new phone

- Happiness is that feeling you get before a road trip

Purserverance

       In the video we watched the man had no arms and legs. In this video the man talked about how he doesn't let his absence of arms or legs affect his ever day life. This shows great courage, perseverance and integrity. He shows great courage but not caring about what people think or say about him. He also shows great strength despite his disabilities. He shows great perseverance by being able to make it thought life and d every day things despit what might hold him back physically. Finally he shows integrity because he still has morals and moral uprightness because he has the natural ability of teaching moral lessons to ththe youth.

Super Bowl Comerical.. MELISSA MCARTHY SOCIAL CONCIOUSNESS

       A Super Bowl comerical I found interesting was one with Melissa Mcarthy. Basically in the comerical Melissa did things such as such as "Saving The Rhinos" and "Saving The Whales." These were all shown in a comedic light. However I think that this was created to show a much more undermining message if you analyzed it to its full meaning. I feel like even though the comerical was supposed to be funny it was also a message saying that these things in the world are going on and we need to help solve them. As detipicted in the comerical Melissa Mcarthy had no idea of what the situation was with the whales or rhinos yet she still tried to help. I thought it interested how they integrated this message in a highly viewed program like the Super Bowl so it can get recognition. I think that's the message the comerical is trying to convey that even if you don't know something about something that needs changing you should still volunteer your time because this is all our planet.

Best advice I've ever got

    We all learn things in life. Some of us chose to use things these in order to succeed or possibly fail. What really is advice. Is it the key to more knowledge or just a time that could become usless? For me advice is information that changes your mindset in a positive way.  For me the best advice I ever received was at the beginning of the first quarter from Ms. Suarez. Her advice was to basically evaluate and analyze deeper the stuff we see and do in the world. From that social justice class I learned a lot about reading deeper into what we really know in our world. I still use that advice today. For example I try to delineate truth from fiction when watching the news because something's sound irrational. So the best advice was from Ms. Suarez and that was to basically analyze the world for what it is.

  

WORST ARGUMENT EVER!

       The worst arguement I ever had was with my mother in 7th grade. What had happened was I was at youth crossroads and I ran out basically ditching and went to a basketball game and I was with two friends. One friend wanted to go to 7/11 so I decided to call my mom and mind you I never really went anywhere in 6th grade and this was the beginning of 7th grade. So when I called my mom and asked if I could go to 7/11 with my friends and 7/11 was pretty far from my house. My mom is pretty meticulous when it comes to my plans and where I go. So when I called I asked my mom where she actually screamed at me and told me that my dad would pick me up. When my dad picked me up he drove me home in complete silence and once I got home I got lectured. My mom thought I was doing more than just going to 7/11 she infered I was doing something more because it was the first time I had really asked to go anywhere. We argued all day and we ended up not talking to each other for a long time, about 2 weeks. Afterward I felt bad because after all she is the person that brought me into the world. I told her I was sorry and she apologized back. What I learned is holding a grudge is a bad thing and that it only hurts a relationship with someone.

Fake it till you become it.... we all should actually

       For this blog I will be referring to the academic aspect of my life, school. Something I am very confident about is writing. Subjectively I feel like I am a pretty decent writer and usually don't get stressed or worried about a writing assignment because I know I am capable of completing the assignment. However one aspect I struggle with greatly is Math. I've always disliked math since 1st grade because numbers and fractions are hard for me to interpret and cause me to be slack off. I feel like if I fake being good at math while getting average grades I can just get through the school year and continue the process because it has worked for me so far.
