Video

In the videos "First World Problems" and "The Miniature Earth" I  re-learned that other people have much greater struggles than me. For the past few weeks I've been up and down emotionally due to my past haunting me and negative things happening in the present. When first watching the video "First World Problems" I felt I could relate to the actors. Later I noticed it was a comedy and the actors weren't serious. Seeing this made me laugh and think of how I've been acting lately. I sometimes forget the person I am and what I've been through. I rather help people get through their problems rather then soak in mine. This video seemed to have come up at the perfect time for me. 

The Young President

The video a pep talk from Kid President gave me motivation for the rest of the week. After watching it in class many thoughts about my future began to pop up. I also thought back to my last semester in college- the things I could have done better. The next day I was on time to all my classes and I paid full attention. I believe motivation is very easy to loose especially if you do not have anyone motivating you. I re-learned how important college is to me by watching a pep talk from Kid President video. 

WED 5th ;)

My current community learning site is San Diego High School. Although it is fun volunteering there, it is not 

helping me gain skills to use for my future career. I plan to excel in a career in music. None of the service 

learning sites offered through my Price Program will help me gain skills for my career but an internship will. If 

I was able to intern in a studio or at performances, I would be able to see how the positions work. Even 

though I currently rap at an in-home studio, I would like to spend time in a professional environment.                                                                                                                                             

I have been to a concert and while there I viewed the people who were visible. The DJ, performers and hype men all had my 

eyes stuck on them. But I did not get to participate in the event or help make it happen. Being able to 

participate in a music lab or performance will both help me become more determined to excel in my career. 

I Will Start A Riot, Over My Diet ! -.-

Growing up i ate really unhealthy. In the 5th grade I was told by my doctor I was overweight. Yes, another

LOW INCOME AFRICAN-AMERICAN labeled as overweight. I was teased and talked about behind

 my fat back. I couldn't understand how I got that way or why it was me overweight. I ate unhealthy food on

a daily basis including taco shop, Mcdonalds, doughnut, and all types of fatty snacks. In the 7th grade I

wanted to be a part of a pop Warner football team. In order to play, I had to be 160 pounds. I was at 195

 pounds. I really wanted to play so I took on the challenge. My diet consisted of Organic milk, chicken

 breast, a weight loss shake, and salad. I stuck strictly to that diet and lost 25 pounds in two months.

Although it wasn't enough I felt good about myself. I continued to exercise and eat better. My freshman year

in high school I joined the football team. There was no weight limit to play. I enjoyed playing football all

throughout my high school career. I am now around 200 pounds with much less body fat than before. I am

being educated more and more about the horrible things in our foods today. I am in the process in becoming

an Organic eater after being re-introduced to the healthy, tasty types of foods available. The prices of organic

foods are high but my health is more important. I now work out twice a day and can happily say I'm not

overweight. Before the year is over I will proudly say I only eat organic foods.

Mid Long GONE

I want to achieve all of my goals before I leave this earth. Every last one, from the short-term to the last goal.

The older I get the closer I am to my career in rap. But once that happens it will open up many other goals.

For example, donating a large amount of money to a non profit organization that needs it. Or making sure my

Grandpa's lights don't get cut off again. Life is filled of all work. Rather its with your brains or hands, you

have to work hard in this world if you honestly want to become something. Once you get older things may

slow down a little. No more career goals because your career would be over. But the short and mid term

goals will never fade away till your happily resting.

I am doing my service learning at San Diego High School and I believe it will help me get to my short term
goal of becoming a football coach. I would like to at least coach at the High School level for a few years until  I become too busy. I have already talked to coach Packwood and he told me to be ready for the next season. I look to contribute to the success of the Cavers but get them to the C.I.F finals. Packwood seems like a great coach but I know he needs support with only 4 varsity coaches.

This how It's gonna be?

A few weeks ago I was "hired" to help Elite security & the athletic at San Diego High School. I wasn't expecting to do so much right away because they were very unorganized. The reasoning being because staff was being moved around, fired and hired. I feel that I won't be needed by their athletic department because they first have to get all the new coaches settled in. In the Elite security I'm able to work at charger games. Even though I am a die hard Raider fan, I expect to have fun at the live Qualcolmm stadium.
