What Music Means To Me

Music means everything to me. I have to listen to it everyday, when I'm walking to school, going home, anywhere i go i have to listen to music. I can't stand not listening to music it gives me headaches. I love music it takes me away. I go from reality, but then when i listen to music i'm in my own world.  For example when i'm mad and i want to be left alone i just go in my room lay in bed and put my earphones on. It relaxes me and takes my mind else where. I like listening to the script and the weekend. When i'm in a sad mood i put music that will cheer me up. Music is there for me when i don't want a physical person to be there talking to me. I'd go to my cousins house and she had a piano and when i seen her playing it i thought it would be a good idea to learn. She then teached me the basics and i started learning little by little. I had learned to play a song and it would relax me; playing the piano made me feel good it soothes me. I can express my feelings with the soft, low notes when i was in a good mood, but when i wanted to let everything out i would play the high notes.

Problems & Struggles

Many kids in Bell High have problems such as having a family situation thats going on at home or it can be even at school. School can put a lot of pressure on a teenager you have homework for all your classes and big tests coming up and you're just stressing about it and can't get it out of your mind. Teachers don't see whats going on at home and some teenagers are not open to talk to anyone about it. They feel like they can't trust their teacher because their teacher is just a teacher, what can they do? Why should they tell a teacher their problems, teenagers believe that they don't care so why tell a stranger whats going on? Some are not even comfortable talking about whats going on to their parents. At home ones parents can be also going through so much and busy and have no time to talk to their kid. So they feel lonely and like they have no one in the world to help them get through it. They have no idea how to express it so just hold it in and sooner or later it's just all going to have to come out and they way it usually comes out has its consequences.

The Most Interesting Person In The World

The most interesting person in the world to me is my good friend salvador. I've known him since the 7th grade he is the funniest person I ever met in my opinion. We can talk for hours about anything and everything because we're so comfortable with each other. Whenever we hangout we have our adventures and those moments will be memorable. The stories he tells me about what he does everyday are interesting because you wouldn't expect a person to do them. He's a crazy person he'll do whatever you tell him to do even though its retarded he'll fall for it and get in trouble, which is funny to me because i don't know why he would listen to anyone if he's going to pay for the consequences. He's a clown he makes people laugh in class by his actions and what he says.You may look scary and seem mean, but when you get to know him he's a nice person and actually cares about life.

My Anti-Drug

My anti-drug is going to the beach. I enjoy the sound of the waves and the way the sand feels between my toes. I usually go to the beach at night because its more relaxing and i won't hear any kids screaming and running around and kicking sand to my face. At night people are hardly there, they spend most of their times at playing arcade games. I enjoy the water at night because it's a lot warmer. The beach is beautiful with the lights of houses surrounding it. It calms me down and is a place where i can clear my mind and enjoy the water. Another anti-drug of mine is drawing. I draw when i have nothing else to do, it keeps me focus on one thing and not over think on things that i don't want to come to mind. It's an other thing that relaxes me and eases my mind. I draw anything that comes to my mind, i draw realistic things and make believe. I draw what i feel, drawing helps me express my feelings when i have no one to talk to.

An Inconvenient Truth

What i learned is that if the North Poles ice melts then the sea water level will rise. It will affect New York, Florida and etc. What worries me is if that can happen to them what will happen to us over in Los Angeles. I wonder how will global warming we affect us. Not only does this affect humans, but it affects animals. For example the ice is already melting polar bears can drown because the ice is too thin so when they try it can just break in half or there hardly is any for them to climb on so they'll just have to keep swimming and sooner or later get tired and just give up. I feel bad because animals aren't the ones affecting the earth as we are, they are suffering because of us. An other thing i learned is that its our old ways of technology that causes these types of changes. For example most of the hugest lakes and rivers are now gone or hardly there.
