What is your favorite form of creative expression? If I were to ask you to pick one art that you could best express yourself through, which would it be? Of all the arts, which do you enjoy the most to view or listen to and which do you enjoy most to participate in. Are they the same?
My favorite form would have to be music. Some music sometimes create an enjoyable feel and it makes me very relaxed. I don't think that there is a form that I could express because I can't sing or rap and I damn sure can't paint or draw. Hearing music sometimes makes me feel like i can express myself through it but after a while all that feeling leaves and i just relax and listen to it. Music also gets me in the mood to go and play a football game and whenever I get crunk off musi then somebodies is in trouble.
The form of art that I like or enjoy being apart of is music. It just makes me get in the zone and like i said earlier when that happens theres gonna be trouble. So basically they are the same and as of lately my love for music has grown to the point where I would rather listen to it than watch TV. So I enjoy the same thing all around.

If you could go back in time and fix three mistakes, what would they be? What would you do differently? Do you believe that fixing these mistakes would change your life today? Describe how. Do you think you would make these mistakes again later on in life?
I wouldn't go back and fix any of my mistakes because all of them has made me a better person now. If i was just making those mistakes or didn't make them at all then I would get in some serious trouble.

Think about the person you were 5 years ago. Do you believe that you are the same now as you were back then? Do the same things interest you? Do you have the same friends? Do you believe that you will be as you are 5 years from now? Do you think the same things will be important to you? What do you expect to have accomplished by then?
5 years ago i was a totally different person. I was a shy kid that just came to America. I didn't know anyone and i found it real hard to lose my jamaican accent. The things that i had an interest in then i dont have anymore because i am in a different lifestyle. But somethings stay true like my interest in girls and sports. I went through alot that year and I am very glad I got through all that.
Now I am this talented football player thats kind of important to the success of my team. I have made a bunch of new friends and found new interests. In 5 years ill be feeling the same way i did back then because ill have to get use to new things. I hope i can still be apart of another football team and still be as important as i am right now. By then i should have my degreee and have a successful job so i can have my family.

Read and interpret the following quote by Benjamin Franklin. Describe what you think it means. Do you agree with it, why or why not. Share any experiences that may help you describe your view.
“Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing”
-Benjamin Franklin
(1706-1790)
I think it means that you should take your time in choosing a friend. And when you do find that friend you should keep that friend because if that friend stayed by your side then its a true friend. I agree with because if someone is using you for something then they would be quick to say they are your friend. And when they stay true to you then thats your true friend. I've had many experiences like this so thats why i believe that this statement is true.

Do you remember where you were on 9/11/01, the day the twin towers fell? What were you doing when you found out? How did it make you feel? Do you remember everyones reaction around you? How did your parents react?
On the day of 9/11 I was in my home country of Jamaica. I was in class having good time with all my friends as usual. When I found out they stopped all the activities and have us go to the assembly room. Onceinside this room they informed us of this information and then everybody started to get worried for family members. Some took it to the point where they all started crying when we finally saw what was actually happening.
I had a sad moment but then it just all went away because I had to get back to class to finish our work. When we gott to class the teacher told us to bow our heads and she started praying for the families of the injured people. To my surprise the people throughout the town also had taken a break because the buses had stopped running for the rest of the day to pay the dead some respect. My dad wasn't really affected because no one of interest was in the affected areas.

As we approach the halfway point in the first 9 weeks, which do you feel is the most demanding of all your classes? Are you finding it difficult to find your footing in school this year? Are you working particularly hard in any one area? How do you feel about the pace of this class so far? Is it meeting your expectations? Do you find it difficult?
Well it brings me great pleasure to say that the most demanding class i have this year is the same class i had last year. And that class is English 4 with Mr. Eric Martinez. The same teaching style as last year but now he has put everything that he wanted into the computer and found out every function thats possible. This year i started off on the wrong foot because i didn't have all the supplies thats needed for this class but am trying to make it up.
This class is also the class that I have to put alot more work than I do in other classes. And thats not to say that its difficult but its so organized and he is always on task. Im glad that we have new kids in the class because it causes him to slow down the pace of the class. I already knew what to expect so there is a little unexpected. So basically it isn't a hard class its just more faster than usual

Describe in detail your biggest fear. Do you believe it is something that you can overcome? If so, can you do do by yourself or do you need help? When do you believe that you first acquired this fear? Do you believe that it is a rational or irrational fear? Do you think that it is a common fear or is it something particular to you? Do you parents know about it?
I really don't have a fear. I have been raised with the mindset of fearing nothing. And I have absorbed that mindst to the fullest if i see something thats considered scary most of the time it just pisses me off. I guess the closes thing to a fear I think would be my dislike of snakes. And i can't stand them because they are so quiet and sneaky. And they can be so deadly when they get to you so that i guess is my fear.
Oh another thing would not being able to continue my football after high school. And i say that because I have all this talent and size and i would feel like i am a waste. And i don't think that this is a common fear because not every is capable of having such great athletic ability a my size.

What do you believe is the most important right you have as an American? If you had to choose one right as being the most important to YOU, which would it be? Why is this the case? What would things be like if this right didn’t exist?
I think that the most important right would be the freedom. In this country we can do alot of things that won't land you in serious trouble with the law. For example the freedom of speech is one that most people in other countries don't get. We have the chance to express what is on our minds and not worry if we are gonna get punished or killed for doing it. And that other people in alot of countries can't do.
Another freedom that we get is the freedom to our own religion. You can basically practice and worship whatever you want and nobody bothers you about it. There are also alot more freedom possibilites. And those are two of the reasons i think that freedom is such an important right that we have.
