Blog #4: TV Rescue

You’ve been kidnapped. You can call on the characters from one television show to make a rescue attempt. Which show do you pick? Explain, in detail, your selection and anticipated outcome. How will the rescue go down?

Your entry should be thoughtful and thoroughly developed and no fewer than 250 words. As always, draft your prompt (and save a backup) on Word. Be sure to add at least one picture of your chosen show’s cast.

• The cast I would pick to save me would be the Kardashians because there is a lot of them and each of them has a super power in my mind that would save me from escaping. I was kidnapped from the mall and was kept in an abandoned factory where no one knew where I was. Kylie Jenner had a vision of me getting kidnapped from the mall and knew she had to do something so she texted and called all of her family members explaining what happened. Kim was too busy taking selfies on her phone like always but the family had a plan. They all rushed onto their jet and flew to OP, KS. The jet landed on top of the factory and they all hopped out of the plane one by one with their super hero costumes on. They all rushed into where I was and started fighting the enemies and were using their powers left & right. Once they killed all the guys, Kris came and untied me and asked If I wanted to come to their family dinner. 

The end.

Blog #2: Current Event

Knowing what is going on in the world around you is very important. Do you know what the headlines were in the local news yesterday? What about the national or international news? How often do you take the time to read about what is going on beyond your small community? Spend some time surfing the web for current events. Identify an article that was published within the last 48 hours and read the entire text. Your blog post should not only summarize what the current event is, but it should also express your personal opinion about this issue. How do you feel about this? What do you see that does or could impact your own life? Your entry should be thoughtful and thoroughly developed and no fewer than 250 words. As always, draft your prompt (and save a backup) on Word. You must cite your source at the conclusion of the blog entry. Be sure to add at least one picture that depicts this current event.

•  The Underground Search for the New Human Species

This article is really cool because researchers and people found bones of a new species that possibly could be human. The fossils have the resemblance of an ape and a human combined. In the article it states that the bones were discovered in South Africa deep down in a cave. There were 15 skeletons found in the cave, eight children, five adults and two adolescents. When I am reading this article it just shocks me that there was a new species that was discovered. I never thought there would be something like this discovered.  It just shows how humans are not the only thing in earth. It is also kind of creepy thinking about it.

Blog #8: What are the 3 most important things you've learned in high school?

During high school you go through a lot of changes in your friends, family, self etc. As a senior in high school I have learned a lot of lessons that have made me a better person but also to be happy when I am older. The first thing I have learned is to always treat everyone how you want to be treated. We live in a world where being rude is apparently "cool" and the right thing to do. Being respectful and nice is always great later in life for jobs, meeting people and so on.
The next piece of advice is. LOVE YOURSELF. I can tell you right now that you will get nowhere in life if you are always negative and or down on yourself. Being confident in your own skin and yourself makes you a happier and better person. Confidence is KEY. And last but not least. tell your parents and siblings and even pets how much you love them each day. Life is short and anything can happen at any given point in time. They are the true friends that will  always be there for you no matter what you are going through. It is always nice having a great support system that you can lean on during your bad or exciting times.

Blog #3: Most Influential Person

In the last week alone, the music and acting communities lost 3 incredible talents: David Bowie, Alan Rickman, and Glenn Frey. The sports broadcasting world also lost an announcing legend last week in Jim Simpson. Consider people of today or the past who have made their mark on the world in some way. What individual has made the greatest impact on the field of ____? Defend your position. Be sure to explain the accomplishments this person made and why these matter so much.

BEYONCE FREAKING KNOWLES

Beyonce inspires many people in a lot of ways. Not only is she an amazing woman but she is extremely responsible. As Bey was growing up she realized all she ever wanted to do was put smiles on people's faces and perform in front of everyone. She works hard for what she wants and she never gives up. Most celebrities have their breaking point/moment where they turn crazy and start using a bunch of drugs and alcohol but Beyonce has never been down that hill. Beyonce spends her time giving back to a lot of different charities and visiting countries that are lacking the needs the US has, In 2014, Beyonce took half of her tour money to give water and food to families who need it in Africa. Beyonce is the perfect role model and I believe she has made so many accomplishments as a singer.

Blog #6: I ♥ KC

When I leave for college in California, the thing I will miss most about KC is the Royals games at Kauffman Stadium. The energy of Kansas City while cheering on our boys is the best feeling ever.
I also love the barbecue here, no matter what restaurant you go to there is always amazing food that is served. So mostly I will miss the barbecue and the fun Royals Games.

Blog #1: 2016 GOAL

New Year's Resolution

You all have a busy year ahead of you that will include many big changes in your life. Reflect on 2015 as a whole, and then look ahead to 2016. Think about the way(s) your life will be different by the end of 2016.

In a fully developed response (two paragraphs minimum), define your most important goal (i.e. resolution) for the upcoming year. What is the reason you wish to achieve this goal?  What are some obstacles that stand in your way and what will you do to overcome these obstacles/hurdles? How will you measure your success? What benefits do you expect to gain by reaching your goal?

• This year has been one crazy and stressful year, especially as a senior, from dealing with work, after school curricular activities, and also free time. 2015 was a very long year filled with a lot of drama, losing friends, and making bad decisions that I should have not made and regret but 2015 was full of happiness and memories that I wish I can go back to. I have learned a lot of lessons in 2015 that I have been following to make my 2016 year successful and 10x better.  My life will be very different after 2016... I am planning on trying out for AMDA(American Musical Drama Academy) in Los Angeles, California to pursue my dream in being an Entertainer. It has been my dream to perform on the big award shows and travel the world and I plan on accomplishing that dream. One of my most important goals is definitely becoming an entertainer and in the music industry before I am 20, It has been something I have wanted to do for a long time and I am gonna accomplish and reach that dream. Being an entertainer takes a lot of work, from days to nights and a lots of coffee. To accomplish this dream I plan on attending college for 2 years at AMDA to learn more about music producing and the industry, I am also gonna start going into studios recording stuff and putting it out there and sending it to a bunch of well known producers. To overcome hard obstacles I will just have to keep a positive mindset because it takes time and it's not just gonna happen. So I plan on working hard and staying positive through my journey. The main benefits I want from my goals and dream is to prove dreams come true with dedication and hard work. The feeling of proving everyone who doubted me wrong would be the best feeling ever. And last but not least provide for my family in every way possible. They're always here for me no matter what I go through and just giving back to them would be amazing. All I wanna do is make people smile and enjoy the music that I write. 

I Promise.
