Week March 27th

My production company and I accomplished only a few things. We did the out lie of what our mockumentary is going to be and we wrote the screenplay for it. We brainstormed on who the actors are going to be and planned what steps were going to take to finish the film successfully. The idea behind the film is entirely mine, therefore i described to them how I want every scene to look. Hopefully my vision of this film comes true and the viewers like it as much as I do. We are hopefully going to shoot a few scenes today after school and take it from there.

Music Is My One True Love

Often times, when hearing the question "what does ---- mean to you?", I get stuck on how to answer. However, when the topic is music, I know exactly the answer. When I was a baby, I was told my mom would sing to me. My mom is no J-Lo, but her singing was bearable, and I loved it. I grew up hearing music all the time because of my siblings. At the age of six, I knew a verse in the very well known song, "P.I.M.P" by 50 Cent.....Anyways, music means a lot more to me than I could have imagined. I love to sing. I've loved to sing since I was five years old. When I was seven, I would sing the National Anthem in the shower, dreaming that one day I would sing it at a Superbowl game. Dreams only go so far though. When I was about thirteen years old, the Jonas Brothers risen up as a famous band on Disney Channel. Long before that, I had already been following Hannah Montana as an idol. I was young, and my voice wasn't like J-Lo's either, which made me sad, but I kept singing. There was just something about singing, that made me feel so peaceful and one with the universe. When I was happy, I would sing, and when I was sad, I would sing. At the age of fifteen I began writing songs. I would show them to my childhood best friend Kimberly, whom also liked singing. Then, I found myself stuck on an unrealistic dream. I wanted to be a singer, and win Grammys for a living. I worked on my voice, and came out on talent shows. When high school came, my dreams of being a famous vocal artist died down. Now, that I am seventeen, my understanding of this, is that I became realistic. I still love singing, and the work I put into my voice paid off. However, I only sing to myself now, to find comfort, and the same peace I felt when I was younger. Music makes me happy, and reminds me of how important it is, to stay happy.

Growing Up Is Not So Fun

A few struggles that I believe high school students go through is losing their path. At that transitioning age, where you go from being a child, to an adult, you go through a lot of internal changes, as well as external. Often times, parents aren't aware of these emotional battles and aren't supportive of their teenagers. Somedays, you can be happy with what you're becoming, and sometimes, you might feel absolutely confused about who you even want to be. High school students are expected to juggle their education, personal and social life in one hand, and as they move closer to graduation, it gets even harder. Many high school kids are prone to making bad choices in their teenage years, which can lead to other, even worse decisions. Since they are not aware of why they feel a certain way, they can fall into deep depression yet live their daily lives having to fake it because of school. There are many other struggles they go through, like having to get good grades, dealing with family problems, choosing a college to go to, getting a job, etc. However, I believe their emotional struggles are the hardest to overcome. Growing up is hurtful, and after high school, you never really stop growing up, you just get older.

Most Interesting Person

The most interesting person to me is my friend Daniel. His mind is so expanded. He always has something deep and emotional to say about everything. He's had many unfortunate events in his life that have made him have to grow up at such an early age. He is mature and has a great outlook on life. However, he doesn't really have control of his emotions or how he feels about things. I feel as if he's lost yet found at the same time. An internal stability of a person is much more interesting to me than what they wear or what they drive. Material things aren't important or even interesting to me. I always have something to talk to Daniel about.Whether its about how life is meant to be or how life was 2000 years ago. There's thousands of things to talk about with him. I believe the most interesting thing about him, is how he manages to keep himself together.
