What Music Means to ME

Music helps me relax. It lets me feel free and pumps me up. I like to listen to many different varieties of music. My play lists are always kind of strange sometimes but the thing with me is that I enjoy whatever sounds good to me at the moment. I listen to mainstream music but there is many times where I find myself listening to some abstract sound. I tend to have more fun with music. I love to dance so music of all genres has been instilled. I like music that breaks through language barriers, so music in Spanish is not excluded. I also enjoy listening to classical music because of my upbringing in classical ballet. I love discovering music I like the different sounds and lyrics. My mom and dad coming from Mexico let me grow up with Spanish classics from artists like Vicente Fernandez and Joan Sebastian. But as I grew older I gravitated towards their English counter pars people like Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Ed sheeran, and Jessie j all of which share great voices.

Struggles of High School Students (2015)

High school is often a tough time kids try to balance high academic achievement with sports social lives and mental stability all while trying to define who you are. Many girls suffer of body dismorphia thinking they look one way when they don't and sometimes endangering their lives or driving them into relationships that can cause bodily harm. we don't stop to wonder what we can do to fix problems like these, we just assume insecurities and mood swings to be apart of  puberty and growing up. Sure hormonal changes does play a big part but so does society and their definition of beauty. Many amazing girls i know when you ask them do you like the way you look will answer with a no because society and our culture has taught them to look for flaws. This also moves into every aspect of school life. Many friends don't feel like they can have a bright future because of their race and because people even teacher tell them they aren't the type to be successful. It is time for adult to prioritize the mental health of students and to realize that sometimes hushing to hard will only make things worse. It stop for society to stop forcing us to accept their definition of perfect and for us to make our own.

The Most Interesting Person

The most interesting person in my life would be my best friend of ten years Teresa. She was born in Nayarit, Mexico and moved to the United States when she was six. She knows me like the back of her hand and i find that super interesting because even though we fight and have many different likes and dislikes we find our way back to each other. We shared many stages of our life together and I personally feel that any one who can deal with me and my brand of crazy is super special. We balance each other out nd talk for hours and never get bored. I cant say wat we talk about because it really just depends on the situation. She is always full of smiles and just the right words and but tells me when i am wrong or being irrational. Above all she is a loyal friend that i can always depend on and she knows that i will always be there as well.

My Anti- Drug

As an anti-drug I feel that when I do gymnastics or go to cheer practice keeps me from straying. The more I tire myself out the easier it becomes to avoid seeking out other forms of stress relief. It also stretches my schedule making it harder for me to even have time to think about that. My priorities right now stand as school, practice, and homework, eat, and sleep. My family has been incredibly patient with me especially with all the time I spend away from home but as it stands they rather I work hard and help my body rather than having me in the streets doing drugs. It not only acts ass my anti drug but it also helps me grow as an individual and as a person. I love being part of the teem and defying the laws of gravity. It is amazing what you do can do when you put your mind to it especially when you stay away from drugs.

“An Inconvinient Truth”

In the documentary we are presented with a very strong position in fact the only position there should be about the growing danger that is Global Warming. The facts being that our civilization as a whole is slowly bringing forth the demise of the environments. Many refuse to see the incredibly damaging effects because they don’t want to sacrifice the ‘riches’ that the energy corporation makes off overusing the worlds resources. Presently out of two nations who have not joined the worlds environmental protection group stands the United States. Yes the country that has fought wars to preserve the liberties of people don’t want to make the effort to safeguard the home of future generations. It makes no sense that the legislators who people put their trust in are in actuality not making an effort to protect the world. It was recently shown in a study that many of the automobiles made in the U.S. don’t pass the safety regulations of foreign markets and yet the argument stands that if we safeguard the planet our economy would suffer. What is the point of economic stability if there is not planet left to enjoy it? There is no reason, well no argument that is reasonable against global warming. It is a real threat and many refuse to see that impending damage that will come if we don’t change our ways.
