Week oF March 27

I am working with Hussein, Mohammed, and Emily on a narrative. This week we have finished our screenplay and are close to finishing our storyboards.

What Music Means To Me

Music is something that I always have to be around. I love to listen to music. i always make jokes about if it wasn't for music,I would not be able to function. I mean, its obviously not true, but it does describe what music means to me. it works like an outlet for me to not be stressed. I can just relax and not worry. school is stressful enough, but with music, time seems to fly by faster. I listen to a variety of music, especially hip-hop. I also listen to alternative rock and to classical music. My parents are hispanic and they also listen to a wide range of music in spanish, and i grew to like it as i grew older. I listen to pop too. If I like the music, I will listen to it, there is no discrimination.

Problems and Solutions

Everyday people around the world go through struggles.  I cannot say I understand all of them, but I do know the major ones in my community. Most of the Bell students have parents who are separated or divorced or in the process of either. That plagues the kids because then it changes their whole perspectives on matrimonies. I know people who never want to get married or have kids so the same situation does not repeat itself. Most of the time though, kids begin to act out and do bad things because of it. I have seen how these problems they have at home come with them to school. It can even affect people around them because they could start to abuse them. Another issue with this community is that since parents have to work late to support kids, it’s easier for the teens to get into trouble. 

The Most Interesting Man I Know

The most interesting person I know would have to be my dad. He’s been through a lot n life and he always tells the best stories. I can listen to him talk for hours on end. When he grew up, the times were different, and the culture was to. Growing up in Cuba was an experience that no one could forget. The culture is so rich there that the stories of even a little kid would be interesting. He really makes me feel proud of my heritage. He also has a variety of stories, not just his but of our family over there. We are a close family so we all know each other’s stories. Sometimes when you know some one for so long, and you hear the stories, they tend to repeat, but never with my dad. Every story is a new one and that is what makes him interesting, because it adds a different perspective.
