Many people have their outlook on music. Some say country has more than any other. Some say pop is more upbeat than any other. All others may say that theirs rock the hardest. Well I'm with the ones who say hip-hop the most in demand. Hip-hop is the most in demand to me because it's found everywhere. Many people today know at least one song out of hip-hop. Radio Stations are abundant for hip-hop. Many television shows play hip-hop. Even sports are in on it for example Football, and Baseball play hip-hop through out the games and during halftime shows. School dances are pretty much dominated by hip-hop.

Hip-hop is at the top of the music food chain. It is found basically everywhere you can possibly go. When your in the car you may be blasting your music and come to a stop light and be sitting next to another car playing their hip-hop. Then look behind you and behold the car behind your car is playing their hip-hop. Very common huh? I think so, you just can't possibly go somewhere and not find hip-hop. What about the mall? Well now malls have upgraded to HDTV in their food courts. Many of which play music majority of the time that they are functioning. But, not just any kind of music but..... you guessed it Hip-hop! When attending county fairs and jump on the amusement rides they Hip-hop as you ride.

This In turn goes to show that many people know or heard of at least one hip-hop song. They know because no matter where they go or have been it was around them. They don't have to listen to hip-hop but once when they encounter it they would be very familiar with it. In most cases you can ask have you heard this song. Someone who doesn't listen to hip-hop may just tell you no, but just tell you about a song they heard and liked.

Hip-hop is mainstreamed through Radio a lot. Radio provides many stations for hip-hop. They advertise the concerts, albums, and movies are all hip-hop based. During sporting events hip-hop can heard in between plays and breaks. Sometimes halftime shows are dedicated to Hip-hop. You can find all this during football, basketball, and Baseball games

Looking back on the LOTF project I was very disappointed. It wasn't what I expected. Just a case of unfortunate events. I really believe that if I am giving a similar project there will be a very huge difference. It wouldn't be likely that everyone is out due to sickness or unforeseen problems.

What if..........I won homecoming King. I think that if I won it would be the highlight of my life. It wouldn't change much but it would bring me that moment of joy. If I win it would tell me a lot how most of my peers see me. I would feel a lot better about myself, a feeling of acceptance.

If I were to win homecoming king that would be one major highlight of my life. When I'm older I could say to my kids, "Back in my day I was a king!". I could go out with my friends and boast of winning the title of king in high school. It would probably get on they're nerves, but hey what can they do. I won homecoming King!

If I won homecoming king not much of my life would change. The most that could happen would be gaining a little bit more friends. I know if I won homecoming king for that moment It would be so uplifting. It would feel like so much weight is taken off me. That would be enough for me.

As many may know Senior year of high school is the most important year. Its a year for excitement, anxiousness, taking that first step into adulthood, or just getting ready college. Ever thought of or remember the challenges that become apparent through out this crucial time. I will fill you in on my obstacle world.

One of my main obstacles is deciding what I'm really going to do once I am out of high school. I have a lot of ideas such as nursing, medicine, automotive, engineering, and business administration. I plan on just narrowing my choices down. I want to attend a community or junior college out of Manatee County. I'm not really big on going to college, but I'll do what it takes to make a living. One thing is if I'm really good I'll take over or start many businesses as I can

One other obstacle is getting through this school year without losing focus. I will try to fix this by mainly drowning out the inessentials. I don't like being stressed out it takes my mind out of direction. Things just aren't clear to comprehend. If I lose the battle for focus I'll just place things on the back burner. So I pretty much have to block bad thoughts or try to regain my focus as much as possible

One huge snag I also have is whether or not I should work more. If I work more I would be able to pay for more upcoming senior events and items I need. On the other hand working more would take more time away from school work and clubs and probably affect my performance and motivation. I'm really not sure how I'm going to do it all. I'm basically all on my own and my parents can't really help me out. I just believe that something will work out for me eventually. For now I'm playing it safe. I work as much as I can as long as keep my grades up, get enough sleep, have enough time for homework and clubs.

Thinking back when I was a freshman. Life was exciting, and not to mention intimidating. As a "littlun" I always thought "just can't wait until high school it will be a lot better than elementary and middle school". Do you know what? It is!

Looking back now freshman year was the next best thing to being a senior. You can be yourself. Wear open toe shoes or sandals. Make more friends. Reacquaint with old friends. Experience more freedom from your parents. Then the downturn hits! As a freshman you are considered the school babies. Freshmen also tend to run into older classmates who despise fresh meat (freshmen). There are actually some teachers and administrators who don't take too well with freshmen. At this point how you think things should go doesn't matter.Certain classes you can't get until your a sophomore.Your only worries are basically more experienced High Schoolers and FCAT. I had a little advantage over many other freshman only because I had the appearance of a senior, played football, and knew many upperclassmen. I was able to slip by attacks on freshmen by the coverage of senior, Latravis Washington (who now plays quarterback for Nebraska Huskers).

I was a good student didn't make many bad choices, always wanted to do the right thing. I did my work and kept the mind frame what I do now will affect my future. My mom always expected better from me so I decided to expect more from myself. Many other freshmen among my group probably didn't think the same way. They had it set I don't have to pass the FCAT this year because it won't count until taking it next year.

In saying that I wouldn't change a thing. The best advice to give to you as a freshmen, don't shortcut yourself. You have to do the work. Also as a freshman it would be best to get classes that you need, but not majorly focused on out of the way 1st. One example is getting all your P.E. based classes over with. You may feel like it's doing nothing for you, but in the long run it will come back to you. Get involved with your school whether it's activities, sports, and clubs. Doing this will boost your rep or popularity. Giving yourself higher standards or goals will be worth it by senior year. Plus you'll feel good once you're told your walking on graduation night.

As a Bayshore High School senior there's a lot in store for me. First in line is accomplishing my many tasks. Such as getting involved in my school more than I ever have before. This would mean participating in more than one club like TSA (president), SGA, and Key Club. Also attending as many events and games as I can. Another hill I'm looking at conquering is keeping my grades up , studying, and dominating the SAT in December. As a senior I'm looking forward getting after what needs to be done as well as what I want to get done. So basically I'm looking forward to getting my school work and doing my best academic wise. What I want to look forward to is going to all TSA conferences and competitions this year. I don't really know what SGA is all about but whatever the task i'll be getting my hands into it as much as I can. Key Club is a plus for community service. I'm also looking forward doing all the fun things seniors do. In saying that I want to avoid bad crowds. Plus avoid obtaining careless attitudes and habits. My goals include finishing school, going to college, finding a job that I love doing, and starting a new life. ;)
