Profile

I'm planning on doing my next essay on the assistant principal at my high school. I have known her since 10th grade and she has made an impact on my life. I actually had her for a teacher durning my sophmore year. She taught asl (american sign language). I think that teachers are so important to the community. They are the people who mold the kids at a very crucial time in their life.
I' m thinking i can write about her schooling, other jobs, specific things about sign language, how she impacted me, and life as a principal.

Raaaaaaap

I think the music in my community is a blend of all sorts. I think it is mainly split up between two genres..rap/hiphop...and punk/emo/rock. I personally prefer rap. I like it because you can dance amd sing along to it and it just pumps you up. Rock is just depressing and dark. That's no fun. I feel like you can't tell a lot about a person by the type of music they listen to. Sometimes it even effects the way they dress. I think people are searching for a certain identity and they are going to do whatever they need to in order to find it. Each type of music has a stereotpye of how the people should dress. For the most part this stereotype is proven true. I think the best place to find these examples are in high schools. If you walk down the hallway and just just watch the kids to see how they act and what they are wearing I am almost positive you can figure out what kind of music they listen too.

Not The False Starts, Not The Stalling

I picture more of a late fall in this poem. The sky is very grey, the time is probably around 4pm. The sun is nowhere to be found. There are a few leaves scurrying about that have escaped bring racked up. You can tell that the snow will be here soon. Then it beings. Just a couple flakes here and there. The snow is very suddle and doesnt change time at all. Then when the snow does pick up, all becomes still. There is no noise, just Falling. The falling makes everything calm. Almost like a blanket of peace is tossed on the town. The sky then becomes dark.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr

Cold weather really puts a damper on fashion. it doesn't motivate you to get up in the morning to get ready. Why would anyone want to leave their warm bed? I'm getting sick of wearing hoodies and my big puffy coat. Coats are so annoying and you have to carry them around. Like if you're going to the mall, what do you do with your coat? You hold it and sweat everywhere because you are shopping hardcore. Winter outfits start to get old. I miss my flip flops and strappy sandals. I love painted toes and dont you worry, mine are painted now! Bright PINK! Being pale is no fun either. TAN IS FUN!!!!
