Week of March 27

This week, we filmed on Monday for 2 1/2 hours and we fell in the twilight zone in between a PSA and a narrative. On Tuesday, we uploaded our film, but did not edit. After seeing our footage, we decided that we should change the film a bit. It is still the concept of life on the phone and off the phone. On Wednesday, we worked on a lot of editing and it is nearly done. We did not do much on Thursday. We will continue to shoot this weekend.

What music means to me

Music is the best way to escape into in an un-visual style world. The best time to listen to music is just about anywhere and anytime. Well maybe not when the teacher is talking or at an interview or at a funeral or when you are somewhere important, you know what I mean. Listening to music goes from singing in the shower, listening to music in the shower, before going to ed, and throughout your day. That is the time I listen to music. Oh and before games, in the car, during a workout, while doing chores, so just about anywhere and anytime. I enjoy listening to music that I find appealing to my ear drums, of course, but my mood can determine what I listen to. I am an optimistic person, for i do not listen to "depressing music," except for rare occasions when I am in a time of loneliness, remorse, and sorrow, and... that's not the point! My favorite bands are: The Beatles, The Strokes, The Black Keys, AC/DC, Queen, and of course Guns N' Roses. However, my taste in genre is: Indie Rock, ALternative, Classic Rock, Mexican music, Hip Hop, French music, R&B, Rap, and anything with the similar sound and lyrics. Foul language in music is not the way to go for me, for I enjoy learning from the songs, or if i am in a bad mood, I like that it will make it better. Music is like a souvenir from a memory... something like that.

Problems and Struggles

One of the many struggles i face is finding myself here at school and in life. Like every other high school teen, we have friends, but I necessarily hard to believe about myself. I know that I come to school with a bunch of people I know and talk to, but which one of them are my real friends. Perhaps, I have no real friends maybe just acquaintances, classmates, and teammates. However, that has allowed me to be independent and really get to learn about myself rather than to try to fit in a crowd. Also, some students here at Bell struggle the lack of communication with strangers and people that are not of their ethnicity. For example, if there were to be a group of hispanics that came from a different school to visit Bell, sure enough, Bell students and hispanic students will get along just fine, but if it were asians or whites, it is something different. Many also walk and talk with the mentality that it is nearly impossible to make a difference in the world because of the struggles at home. Well they can easily make a difference one by one. At home, I face economic and communication struggles. I can say I have a good connection with both of my sisters, but not my mother. It is devastating to know that we can barely have a conversation. There has never been any type of abuse, but it is just the way things are at home. These are just some of the many struggles in my society and in my life at home.

The Most Interrsting Person

Out of many interesting people that I know is Coach Walker, my coach. I can go to him  whenever I am in doubt or have problems. He knows what to say to every situation and it makes everything so much better. He is an inspiration in my life who pushes me and teaches me about life and god. On top of that he is my coach and he has helped me improve in the game. He has taught me the deeper meaning of love within one another. I enjoy the fact that we, along with other players, can go to college games and have a wonderful time. His way of being has had sn influence in my character in such a way that I can be more confidenr amd outspoken in the real world. I see him as a pop and that is what all his players call him. He has made impossible, possible and that motivates me in school. I appreciate how he points out the good in us(volleyball players). He pullsnthat talent we have and allows us to see the good virtues in life.
