Week of March 27th

The people in my production company is John De Anda, Kevin Rincon, and Rob. We are going to be filming a PSA about not stealing, a similar idea to the Meth PSA's. Throughout the week, my group and I have finished drawing the Story Board and getting all the supplies we need for the film such as posters and money which his basically all we really need for this film. We have also picked where we will be shooting and the days we will be able to film.

What Music Means to Me

Music helps me because I can relate to what some artist went through as a child and it helps me realize that they went through so I can do it too. Some artist even went through worst stuff so it makes me realize like why am i complaining about my problems when someone has had it worst and has made it through that adversity. Music helps to clear my mind as well. Also, sometimes when I sing to a song (usually rap) and it's just showing anger, it helps me relieve some of the stress I have bottled up inside of me. Some of the artist that I listen to are Drake, Kanye West, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole. J. Cole, Eminem, and Kendrick Lamar are more of a story-telling artist. They tell stories of their past and how hard they've had it which is why they are some of my favorites. They also put a lot of emotion into the music when they rap and I can definitely catch those emotions and it helps me really get into the song and relieve stress. Kanye West usually raps about how he knows he's the best and he doesn't really care for what anybody thinks, that he does what he wants. I love that about Kanye because sometime I feel I care too much about other so when I listen to songs like Stronger, it really just helps me get in touch with reality and helps me stop caring for other peoples opinion. Basically, music is like a guide in life for me, it teaches life lessons that I don't think I can learn any other way.

Problems & Struggles

One of the struggles I go through is being a student athlete. Our coaches always tell us school comes first as it does in the name "Student-Athlete". The hardest thing is putting that into my mind and into my heart. I know school is my number one priority but i let the love to my sport get in the way of that. I'm always staying late after school either working out or playing football because I want to be great. But that is the main source of my struggle as I get home not wanting to do homework. But I thrive for success which is why I stay up doing homework. I'm always up at around 2 or 3 in the morning trying to finish up my homework. I've been doing this since about freshman year and it has been my greatest struggle thus far. I need to learn to manage my time so I can get homework done early and go to bed early,  but still work hard in my sport. WHat has helped me a lot is study hall in 6th period.I know I hate staying up so I try to get most of my homework done then and I do, which is why I feel all this stress fading away.

The most Interesting Person in the world!

The most interesting person in the world is my brother-in-law Alex. Alex is always up to something, he always has to find something to keep himself occupied. When i first met him, he was really into buying roosters. One day he just bout like 5 of them and put them all in his backyard. What was the reason being? there wasn't a reason. I asked why he bought them and he said he just felt like buying some roosters, that he just wanted to see what it felt like to own some roosters. After about a month he got over the roosters and bought a huge fish tank. He put all sorts of fish and water snakes and crabs and turtles. Again, he did it to see what it would look like if he had a big tank fish with a lot of sea creatures. The about a week later he started building batting cages in his backyard. The crazy thing is, they actually work, it functions like a normal batting cage that you would pay to use at a park. Now he's trying to find a place to build a lot of batting cages and start his own business with that. So whenever I'm bored, I know i can go with Alex because he is always up to something, he's never really just not doing anything.
