Disco Era

For our next blogs we have to talk about if we could go back in the past what time period we go back to and why. Throughout history there have been many time periods that brought the people together. In the past there has been enjoyable time and times that were tough. There have been great depressions, Wars, disco periods, and women right movement. It is really hard to choose what time period I would want to go back to because each time period had its ups and downs. One period that caught my eye would defiantly have to be the disco era. I chose this era for many different reasons including it was a time full of fun and enjoyment among the people in society. I know that many people that lived through it enjoyed it and wish they could live through it again. I love the fact that the different types of dances came out during this time period. I know that my parents found that time period fun and have plenty of stories about it. I remember them saying how them and their friends went and danced. I remember them saying that people wore combs in their back pockets and used to go roller skating. Disco reached it peek in the mid 1970’s. Disco started to decline after July 1979 Disco Demolition Night in Chicago. This event showed an angry backlash at disco and as a result of this disco began to decline rapidly. Every year Buffalo, NY is the host of the “World’s Largest Disco”. This is an event where thousands of people get dressed up and go dance for the night.  After watching the news coverage about this disco I saw that many people were laughing and enjoying life. I couldn’t imagine living in prime disco era and all of the fun people had.

Emily Cole

For our next blog we got a random person that was part of the bulldog newspaper and we needed to interview them. We were each given a random person to ask questions about anything we wanted to ask. Some of the different types of questions people asked were, what your plans for are after high school, favorite movie, favorite food, and the list keeps on going.  The person I was given to interview was Emily Cole. Emily and I sat down for 20 minutes and we asked each other questions about our life’s. Some of the different questions I asked her dealt with things she likes and plans for the future. The first question I asked her was what does she like to do in her free time. She replied listen to music, watch television, hangout with her friends and read. The second question I asked her what sports she played. She currently does cheerleading. Another question I asked was what kind of music she listens to she said she likes Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne, Mac Miller, and Miranda Lambert. I also asked Emily what her greatest fears were and her reply was spiders and heights.  Emily’s favorite movies are Horrible Boss and Disturbia. After talking to her for a little while I asked her what her plans were for after high school and she said she wanted to go to either ECC or GCC for childhood education. Emily’s favorite T.V show is Glee. Her role model is her mother and her favorite subject in school is Government. Another interesting fact I learned about Emily is that her favorite color is light purple and her favorite food is Mac and Cheese. Well my thoughts about this blog were that I really enjoyed it because I got to meet someone that I had no idea about and learned a lot of interesting things.

Problem Fixer Klug

Our next blog we have to talk about is if we had the ability to change the world how would we do so. I know if I had the magical powers and the chance to change the world I would do it in a heartbeat. I know that there is many problems that are occuring right now in the world that I could fix. Millions of people are being affected by something in the world right now. Some things that I would change would be Bullying, Poverty, Wars, Cancer and different diseases. Millions of people loose there life becuase of these problems. First of all, I would end Bullying becuase it isnt right for other people to bully other people becuase they are "different". Recently Bullying has just been brought up in the news because a young boy committed sucide becuase he was being bullyied because he was gay. It isnt right for someone to be bullied because they are "different". Another topic I would change in the world would be poverty. I would want to change this becuase I know that there is many people dont have a shelter that they can live under. There is many people out there that loose there houses due to not having enough money or due to natural disasters. I would make sure that people are protected by a house or shelter. I know that i am blessed to have a house and parents that care. Another problem that millions are people are coming together to tackle are diseases like cancer. Many people are affected by cancer and different diseases and I know if it was fixed millions of lifes would be saved. There is so much effort that people are putting in to fix the problems in the the world. I know that the efforts of people. I know that with all of theese efforts that one problem will be fixed at a time.

Christmas Time

Well for our mext blog we were allowed to write about anything that we wanted. I figured that it is winter season and one thing that everyone looks forward to is Christmas. Lets be honest, I am pretty sure that everyone is excited on Christmas because of the joy that is spread from person to person. I think that many people love waking up in the morning to a christmas tree full of gifts. However, I am thankful for anything that I recieve because I know there are millions of kids and adults that dont get anything on Christmas Day. I realize that I was blessed to be able to recieve gifts. The reason I am writting this blog is to spread the real message behind Christmas. Many people today think that Christmas is all about waking up in the morning to a tree full of gifs however that is not the real message behind it. Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas should be more around our religon instead of recieve gifts.  I am thankful if I recieve any gifts becuase I know Christmas isnt about getting gifts. I really love this time of the year because I like driving down the road seeing all of the houses with lights on them. This time of the year is filled with many lights and decorations that really make it a sight to see. Another reason I love this time of the year is becuase it really brings my family closer together. Seeing all of my family is filled with many smiles and laughs and just catching up with the different news. I love seeing all of my little cousins running around telling each other what santa brought them. I am really thankful for everything that happens to me and my family.

My Plans

Well for this blog we are allowed to write about anything we would like. So I am going to write about my plans for after high school. Right now many of students high school is coming to a wrap and the real journey begins. I am confused on what I want to do after i graduate. I have a couple different colleges in mind and jobs I would like to take up. One of those optinions would be to go to ECC for either criminal justice or Building Trades. Another college that I would like to attended if ECC doesnt work out would be GCC. Both of my sisters went to GCC and they have a really nice school and the professors are really nice and try to make sure you do succedd. I would like to get either a building trade or criminal justices. When I turn 21 I plan on taken the civil service exam and hope to become a prison guard. I am really looking forward towards the day I gaduate becuase that is when the real adventure begins. I am a little nervos in what to expect when going to college. I am looking forward toward what school I decided to go to and visit that school. I would like to thank everyone that got me up to this point and I know they are the reason why I will succedd. first of all, I would like to thank my parents and sisters for giving me support all of theese years. They will be a huge reason why I do end up going to college. Some other people that I would like to take the time and thank would have to be my teachers. Without my teachers there would be no way I would have graduated. A couple teachers I would have to accept would be Mr. Currin and Mrs. Gramza.

favorite rappers

well for my next article we are allowed to talk about whatever we want. So i chose to do a topic that really khas meaning to me. One of my favorite things to do is listen to music. To me music is everything and without my life would be very boring.  I owe my life to music because it got me through tough times in my life. This next topic is going to be about one of my favorite artist/ rapper Wale. I started listening to Wale recently and I fell in love with his music.  Olubowale Victor Akintimehin was born on September 21, 1984 in Washington, D.C. I really like the fact that wale was came from Nigerian immigrants who moved to the United States 5 years earlier. Some of my favorite songs by Wale would have to be Mirrors, Shades, World tour, chillin, diary, and mama told me. Another one of my favorite rappers would have to be Sam Adams. Sammy adams was born August 14th, 1987. Some of my favorite songs to listen to are I hate college, coming up, and coast 2 coast. I started to listen to Sam adams when he first becoming famous. One of my favorite rappers out of all of them would have to be Big Sean. I really love the music that he writes and my favorite songs by him would have to be, High, Million dollars, wait for me, and My last. I really enjoy listening to Big Sean because he gets me in a better mood. Another Rapper that I really like and listen to is Wiz Khalifa. I really started liking Wiz Khalifa last cd. My favorite songs are Studio Lovin, no sleep, this plane, when im gone, and goodbye. All the rappers that I just listed really help me get through my day and I always enjoy listening to them.

music

One of our blogs was a choice blog so I decided I would talk about music. To me music is everything and gets me through the tough times. I love all different types of music. My favoirte band would have to be Brand New.  My favorite artist would have to be Drake, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Rick Ross, Big Sean, and Wale. Over the summer one concert I went to was Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne came with Rick Ross, Far East Movement. I really enjoyed the concert and thought everyone performed really good. My favorite quote by Lil Wayne is "Lord, protect me from my friends I can take care of my enemies". Another one of my favorite rappers is Wiz Khalifa. My favorite Wiz quote is "You don't have to like me, im not a facebook status. Another one of my favorite rappers is Big Sean. Sean was born in Santa Monica, CA and relocated to the west side of Detroit, MI when he was 2 months old. My goal is to get to go and see Big Sean in concert. Another one of my favorite rappers that I listen to would be Wale. My favorite quote that Wale said is "life without dreamin is a life without meanin."  Without music my life would be very boring and I wouldnt know what to do. You can constistly find me with my headphones in listening to my ipod. Some of the different concerts I went to are Lil Wayne, Blink 182, Rick Ross, Toby Keith, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan. Music always gets me through the toughest times in my life and without music my life would be very boring and I wouldnt know what to do. I owe my life to music and all of the artist because they really do help alot of people and fix many problems in society.

wishes

Many people are smart enough to know that wishes don't come true very often. However, if I had three wishes I would think it through what I wanted to wish for. First of all, I wish that I had alot of money. I wish this because if I had alot of money alot of problems would be solved. I could buy a nice house and car and not worry about the money. I would be able to donate some money to a worthy cause. I would be able to make a difference in this world if I had alot of money. Another wish I would wish is that cancer would find a cure. I wish this because millions of people loose their life to cancer. If cancer found a cure it would create way less problems that we face today. I wish this because if you ask anyone the chances of knowing someone that is some how affected by cancer is high. If I had three wishes I think I would aim at making the world a better place and help as many people as I can. I would do this because it would make me fell like a better person and I would fell good that I am helping millions of people solve their problems. My third and final wish would be to throw the biggest party the world has ever seen. I would have thousands of people and alot of celebrity preformances. I would host this party to celebrate all of the good and bad times that we face today. My wishes would be used to bring people together from all parts of the world and just celebrate what we made it through. I know that many wishes dont come true but if some did it would solve many problems in the world.
