Writing Prompt #13

3. "I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school.  They don't teach you how to love somebody.  They don't teach you how to be famous.  They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor.  They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer.  They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind.  They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying.  They don't teach you anything worth knowing." - Neil Gaiman...Teach me something that's actually worth knowing and why is it important.

Well that is not completely true. They may not teach you this things as a class at school by most of this you learn throughout school, so in a way you do learn most of these at school or throughout school. In school you do learn how to love and you do learn how to walk away from someone if you don't love them any longer, It's just harder to walk away depending on the situation you were in. When you help people with problems in their life and make friends, you will eventually learn what is going on inside their mind and other peoples you don't even know. In school, you learn by someones actions or the look on their face what kind of mood they are in. Not many people go through being famous in school, but I guess that goes with popularity to. I mean you do kinda learn if you are a popular kid in school. There are always the rich and poor kids in school and you learn how to be what you are, but just because your rich doesn't mean you have to act like it either. So I would like to say that they are wrong because school does teach you a lot worth knowing, It is just that the stuff that really matters we have to learn on our own because everyone handles things differently so you cannot teach that stuff in a class. You learn more throughout school about life than most of us realize.

Writing Prompt #12

If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be and why?
If I could change 1 thing I would change how much people care. Honestly, in our society today no one cares except a select few. If people actually cared about one another and put other things like their choices and everything a side this world would be an amazing place. Everyone will who they want to be and people need to learn to accept that and look past it and actually care about them even if they don't know them. War would not be an issue and people would help each other more. No one would be judged by their actions but instead of what they actually do. I hate being judged for my actions, but hey its what makes me, me, so they can deal with it in my book. 

Writing Prompt #11

What is your legacy? What are you leaving behind for others? (or what do you hope you are leaving behind for others)  Another way to think of this question: how do you want to be remembered by future students? Or do they want to remembered at all? If not, why not?
I hope my friends and fellow students learn from my personality to have fun and enjoy your years in high school. I would rather be remembered for my personality and sports and school work rather than some other actions I have done. I haven't done anything bad like drink or drugs, but there is at least one thing I know no one will forget if they know me... so I would rather be remembered for being happy and having fun rather than my one mistake I've done. If I do get remembered for that one thing, I would like people to think of the positive side like I learned from and for them not to make the same mistake I did. How people remember me is their choice not mine.. But i would rather be remembered for the good things I've done.

Writing Prompt #10

.What are your five favorite songs at this point in time?  Why?
Swimming pools (Drank)- Kendrick Lamar- This is one of my favorite songs because I like the way it sounds and plus in some ways it makes me think about my life, but I don't drink. 
How to love - Lil Wayne- I like this song because its one that gets stuck in my head and it just sounds good and its not that bad of a song.
Champion - Flipsyde- This is one of my favorite pump up songs and gets me in the zone for sports.
Your a Jerk - New Boyz- I just like the way it sounds and thats about it.
Going Down- Sick Puppies- This is another one of my favorite pump up songs that I like listening to and helps me when I need to be pumped up.

Writing Prompt #9

If you could create a movie of your life, who would you cast and what would the story be?
I would have Sean Faris play me, Harrison Ford as my father, and Jamie Leigh Curtis as my mother. The story would be about my high school life and everything that is going on at school and at home. There are too many actors to pick for everyone that would be in the movie so I just picked the ones that are in my house well besides my niece and nephew.

.

I picked these 3 as my favorites because they all describe my life right now in some way. They all have a different part of my life.

 The first one means to me that basically everything it says is true and is right to me. It means live each day with no regrets, treat people the way they treat you, and I do believe everything does happen for a reason and life will change all of us and it will be hard but that is part of life. No one has ever said that life would be easy. I completely agree because life is getting harder for me every day, in more ways than one.

The second one actually describes my life rather well because some people don’t think the best of me right now because of some things they have heard, but they should ask me instead of believing others. I am still living my life and I don’t care what other people think or say because I know the truth and always will and if they want to know they can ask. I am trying to let this not affect my life and live the way I think I should and make the best of it.

Well the third is explained in the first 2. People should be real behind your back and to your face. There is no point in talking behind someone’s back if you cannot say it to their face. Plus, if you don’t know their story you have no right to judge them.

Writing Prompt #7

If you could meet anyone - past or present - who would it be and why?
Honestly there is only two people I would want to meet and that would be in the past. I would want to meet my grandpa on my mom's side because I never got to meet him because he died before I was born. I would just want to see what he is like and see if he was a good man. The only other person I would want to meet is myself. I would want to meet myself in the past just so I could warn myself about how my life would be now so I could prepare myself for it. Also, it would be nice to meet myself to see what other people see.

Writing Prompt #6

What are you most proud of?
I guess I would have to say the thing I most proud of is being who I am. I am most proud of the skills I have. For example basically everything comes naturally to me like sports and learning. I never have to put a 100% effort into anything to do. I am very proud of my natural athletic and math skills the most. Those are the skills I am most proud of these skills I have. I am just most proud of who I am and what I have become throughout my life.

writing prompt #5

What motivates you?
The thing that motivates me most is my mood and whats going on around me. For instance, if I am in a great mood I will be myself and have fun and get along with pretty much everyone, when I'm like this most people ask if I am on drugs so its not always a good thing... Just like with sports the thing that makes me do my best in football and track is my anger. When I get mad my adrenaline starts pumping and I don't care if I hurt myself or someone else, I will fight through the pain at all costs, but for bowling I have to be calm and be having fun to do my best. So the things that motivate me the most would be my mood and when I have family and friends that help. 

Writing Prompt #4

What is your personal credo (belief)? I have quite a few personal credos and beliefs but just few are that I believe you should always be honest with everyone no matter if it may hurt their feelings or not. Honesty is key in all things ranging from friendships to jobs to being in a relationship. Honesty earns trust and if you have someones trust you better keep it, Because to me if you lose trust with someone you have nothing. Also, You should not judge someone on how they look. Some people may look rich and snobby but actually on the inside they are one of best people to be around and just want a friend that will treat them right. It also goes for someone you want to be in a relationship with. If you just go for looks then you will never actually have a good relationship. You have go for personality and have a connection on that level and make each other happy and fun around each other to have a relationship that will last. Lastly, how you treat women is a big issue with me. Women need to be treated with respect. I've always had more friends that were girls rather than guys. The main reason being that girls need a guy they can trust and get along with so then they can trust other people. The thing that bothers me most is when men treat women like total crap (was going to use a different word) and have no respect for them. Like lets say a man hit girl in front of me, i would flip out on him and give him what he deserves. No women ever deserves to be treated that way by anyone. Those are my main personal credos or beliefs.

Writing Prompt 3

What characteristics do you value most in a friend? Explain why they are important.
The Characteristics i value most are: honesty, loyal, trustworthy, and just fun to be around. I value these qualities the most due to the fact that i am all of these unless you make me not be. Everyone has my trust until they lose it and when you lose it you can't get it back. I cannot stand liars either. If you can't be honest with me and have to lie then you don't deserve to be my friend. I will be honest about anything and everything no matter what. I like friends that will be there for you to even through the hard times, those are the best friends to have. They will be there through anything and everything getting you through it. And last but definitely not least, I have to be able to have fun around you in order to be friends. Friends should be able to be themselves around each other. The most fun I've had was with friends and those are the best memories to have if you ask me. 

Writing Prompt #2

What does the following quote mean to you?  "You don’t get to pick where you’re from, but you always have control of where you’re going."

                This quote means to me that no one can control how much money you have or where you are in life, but you can choose to keep the life you have or change it so you have what you want. You get to choose what kind of life you have whether it’s a wealthy one or a poor one, but money shouldn’t be the issue with life. I find that how much you live and the amount of joy you have throughout your life is a better way to measure how your life is. You can be poor and happy just like you can be rich and miserable. If you choose where you want to go and be in life then you should have no problem, but issues do arise in your life where you have to make choices and you have to make the right choice that will help you most and make you happy most in the long run.

Writing prompt #1

If a handful of people can change the world for the worse, then I am certain that a handful of people can change the world for the better.

What will you do  to make this world of ours, which feels so broken right now, a better place?

Well I honestly do not know what just one person can do to change the world but it does have to start with just one person and go to the next and so on so forth before it will actually make a difference. If one person does not try then no one else will try, It takes one person with complete determination to make a difference in someone else’s life. For most people it is difficult to deal with change because the easier way out is actually worse, but no one really cares that much because everyone prefers the easy way out except a few people who actually want to make a difference.

To make this world that is so broken a better place, I will be the one that proves everyone wrong. I’m not going to lie I prefer to take the easy way out sometimes, but I know when to and when not to take the easy way out. Like with my friends I am the one that is always there when they need someone, I’m good with advice and try to help them through their broken time and eventually things get better, but it’s always hard to find a friend like that when I need one. Oh well, life is life and you cannot make everyone make it a better place but you can start yourself if you choose to, but after you do start you cannot give up. You have to work at it if you actually want the world to be better for this generation and the next generations. 

No, I haven’t applied to college yet – and I have not really looked at any specific colleges to go to.
