week of march 27th

My group consists of Jennifer Garcia, Erick Marmolejo, and Christopher Maldonaldo. This week we fixed our binders, planned when and where we'll be shooting, and drew out the scenes for our PSA. Now that we got everything figured out, we will be filming this weekend because we would all be available and theres going to be a real party and therefore we can make the PSA even more realistic. Our PSA will be about people in general who like to party and drink then go driving when they're drunk. What may happen is a car accident or even death.

What Music Means To Me

I like listening to music for several reasons. One of the many reasons why i listen to music is to get mentally prepared for a game and the music i listen to within 2 hours of a game is alternative rock because its soothing. When the game is closer and its going to start within 1 hour, i prefer to listen to rap music like artist Kanye West because he's extremely ignorant and it gives me so much confidence to go on the court and be a bully. When i listen to music at night i listen to The Cure, The Smiths, The Doors, and alternative rock because thats what i mainly like. I feel that its more soothing and it keeps me in a relaxed mode. I only listen to rap when i completely get bored of my favorite genre. I like listening to songs that have a beautiful meaning behind it. For example, Kanye West's new song "only one" is beautiful in my eyes because he's talking about his mom and how much he misses and loves her.

Problems and Struggles

Bell High School is faced with various problems. Most kids who come in as a freshman, don't make it all the way through graduation. Some kids dropout and chose not to go to school, but no one ever wonders why? The struggle begins at home because most kids are neglected by their parents thus making the kid depressed. If the kid is neglected then they don't have any guidance through life and don't see a future in school. Another reasons why kids drop out in high school is because their teachers simply don't like them. It isn't the teachers fault, instead its their's because they don't know how to communicate and approach their teachers for help in a kindly manner. THey feel as if the teachers are going to be just like their parents and set them up for failure.

The Most Intresting Person

The most interesting person i personally know is my neighbor. I live in south central and he's a 60 year old man named Roney. He's 6 foot something, pretty tall. I rarely talk to him, but when we do talk to each other we talk about his old school days in basketball. He's interesting because he tells me that he went professional and he was one of the best players in his high school. I somewhat believe him because he brought up some great basketball schools who he beat and we played and still is a tough school to beat. I played with him (at 60 years old) and he still has his jump shot which is why i believe he went pro over seas. However; I always question myself because now he lives in the hood, is a drunk, and has a bike.
