Graduation (FC)

We have came to the point where all of us (most of us) are graduating. The 4 years of high school has passed by maraculously. We currently have about less than 2 weeks of school. We are moving on to college and jobs and whatever else people have planned. I'm ready to leave high school and move on.

I realized many of my blog post consist of college or high school post. It's because the realization is setting in. We have to move on from the ridiculous life of high school and mature and learn through college. Congrats class of 2014. We made it.

The Fault in Our Stars (SSR)

The Fault in Our Stars is an insightful, bold love story. Hazel ,who has had a medical miracle that has shrunk her cancer tumor, met Augustus Waters at Cancer Kid Support Group. Not to tell the whole story, but this was a genius love story with tragedy, sadness, and comedy. The title is inspired be a famous line from Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar. 'The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlinings.'
While reading this book I felt happy, anxious and sad. The love story interested me and the characters will live a long time in my heart and mind. This book wasn't a sugar coated love story. The tragedy and weirdness of the characters made it real and enjoyable. It shows that life isn't perfect and some don't get a chance to live long. Enjoy it and get what you can out of it. Be happy.
I really suggest people read this book and go see the movie that is coming out soon June 6 (my birthday).

Making a decision (FC)

Today is the day everybody has to make a decision for college. The May 1st deadline. I have currently not made a decision for college and I am not going to. Believe me when I say that I want to go to college but I don't have the passion nor drive to stress out about this college stuff. I'm non-chalant and come off as not caring but that's me. Everybody keeps asking me what college are you going to. I suggest you dont because I will give a crummy answer; therefore, I have not made a decision now. I am waiting on hearing from my CUNY's because I wish to stay in the city.
My fellow seniors congragulations on your choices and have fun.

James Franco Instagram Stunt (SSR)

While I was on my tumblr I happened to scroll past a conversation between James Franco and a 17 year old girl. Franco apparently started talking to the girl on instagram through direct message and then texts. He asked how old she is and she said she was turning 17 about to be 18 and he was making jokes saying tell me when you turn 18. The girl didn't believe it was Franco so she asked for a picture of his face. He sent her 'selfies' and one including a paper with her name on it. The pictures of the conversation surfaced online and on the news.
Franco admits to flirting with the girl and have apologized for it. The instagram stunt was also a promotion for his film known as "Palo Alto". Seeing the messages online, I viewed them as funny due to knowing the type of person Franco can be. He is a comedian and actor and he is smart enough to not do something like that without jeopardizing his career. People are making a big deal and I see why, but it was just a little stunt and he apologized. They need to move on. To see the article click here.

Sports Management (CRR)

I'm currently in Mr.Torrence's sports management class. In this class we have to make a marketing campaign based on a sport and a client. We are learning about the business field and how sports and entertainment relates to it. My client is Tristan Rosa and his sport is basketball. At the end of the semester we have to create an advertisement and commercial dealing with the sport and how it relates to our client. I took a college class in Business Administration and was one of the TMA basketball managers so I understand the class perfectly even though sports are included with in the class.

Many may hear Torrence name and think the class is hard or we failing because he is viewed as intimidating but it is really the opposite. We are learning in the class passing with a breeze and actually have funny moments with him. This is the sports management class.

Kanye West (PB)

Kanye Omari West is an American hip hop recording artist, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer from Chicago, Illinois. He was born June 8, 1977. His albums include The College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, 808s & Heartbreak, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Watch the Throne, and Yeezus.
I'm passionate about Kanye West because of his artist style, truth in his lyrics, and just him as a person. People may see him as an schmuck now based on his behavior and recent album but looking back at the old Kanye who rapped about his life experiences and losing his mother is what matters to me as well as the schmuck side of him now. As a current musician, I love Kanye but wouldn't exactly say I want to be like him. I just enjoy his music art style and have a high passion for him.

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. (FC)

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. is an organization for young girls. Rhoers compete on a local, regional, and national level. The Rhoers affiliates are working to help other young people while they learn about their heritage and develop leadership skills. Sigma Gamma Rho is dedicated to helping Rhoers to grow to be women of substance dedicated to service.
I am currently a Rhoer. I got inducted with Roshea R. and Georgie E. while in 10th grade. Tamelia and Lamisha are our advisors. We learn leadership skills while doing bonding activities and community service. We did things such as the Breast Cancer Walk, Girls Rock, HIV/AIDS awareness campaign and more. Sadly after we graduate from high school we can no longer participate in the Rhoer Club. During our college years, we can pursue the Theta Gamma Rho Sorority if we really enjoyed the club. I just might. These are my Rhoers sisters.
