Week of March 27

I am working with Berenice Hernandez, Gabriela Vazquez, Carlos Guzman, and Rafael Velasco from period 1. Our production name is Above All Productions. We are creating a PSA that shows how you should say something when you see something bad happening. Our main character acts as though he doesn't see anything while he is walking home. 

This week we started working on the screenplay and recently started on the storyboards. We were able to shoot two scenes on Wednesday, but we still need to shoot more next week. It has been a productive week.

What Music Means to Me

Music is my escape from reality. When I am feeling down or haven't exactly had a good day, I can put on my earphones and block everything out. I like listening to music because it relaxes me. Listening to music makes me happy and it can also motivate me. Music before a game gets me pumped. Some of my favorite artists/bands include Ed Sheeran, The Neighbourhood, One Republic, The Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, Geographer, Coldplay, Kings of Leon, and Kanye West. I enjoy listening to their songs because they put me in a good mood and can make my day go by faster. Sometimes I doze off and get so into the music that I stop what I'm doing. Going to a concert is probably one of the best things I have experienced because everyone is so into the music and it is amazing.

Problems and Struggles

I think one of the greatest problems most students from Bell face are not been able to get help at home. Whether it's getting help for applying to college or just being able to talk to your parents about stuff that is going on. I think I personally face this because I'm first generation and my parents don't really know or understand things from my point of view. It is really difficult to not have the support you need at home, but that won't stop me from trying to get my parents to understand. Trying to get my parents to understand my struggles isn't exactly easy, it's constantly a problem. I think some students can relate, but everyone should use the lack of support to motivate them to move forward.

The Most Interesting Person in the World!

The most interesting person I know would be my cousin Romana. My cousin Romana lives in Georgia at the moment because her husband Miguel was stationed there and every time she visits she brings along all these great stories about what she does over there. She is currently studying to be a registered nurse and she always has all these health tips for the family. The first time Romana visited LA after she had barely moved to Georgia she told us about what places aren't found there and  how it was so different from what she was accustomed to. She would also tell us about her trips and how it was difficult to move back and forth. She would also mention how she made friends with other young ladies that were from California. My cousin has always been like an older sister and being able to hear about her life, as an adult, makes her the most interesting person I know.
