PERSONALITY

     This is a tuff one wow. I am really big into music. It is such a great art. Some music to me hits all of my emotions and feelings. My whole life I have used it every day. Whether it is when I'm working out, playing sports, doing homework or just chilling. I am really big on rap, R&B and pop music. But the one song I have to choose is Empty by Juice World.

     Juice World is one of my favorite rappers. He recently passed away in December. It hurt me so much to see him die.

I love all of his music but this song - Empty - it's me the most. This song hits me hard. When things aren't going well, you really are empty. Whether a girl breaks my heart, not happy with the situation I'm currently in or just having bad luck. You feel like you're at your lowest point and you don't know how to pick yourself back up. 

     Whenever I feel this way I just put this song on. So many thoughts go through my head. I just keep reminding myself that everything is going to be okay. I just gotta keep pushing through. I can't sit and feel sorry for myself all day. Just gotta keep my head up and take anything the world throws at me. This is why I love this song. It reminds me who I truly am. Never give up and just keep fighting.

FIRST MEMORY

  For the longest time in my life, I would always remember this as my first memory. I was two years old and to me it was a regular day. 

     I was at my grandmother's house with all of my cousins. We were playing and having fun with all of our toys. My grandmother and grandfather after we were done brought me to the car and started driving. They brought me to a big building. I was walking with them and I saw my dad. So I ran up to him and hugged him. 

     He brought me to this room and I saw my mom laying on a stretcher. I climb up onto the stretcher and say ‘Hi mom”. She laughs and gives me a big hug. Then 10 minutes later the doctor brings in my baby sister. I was so confused and supposedly I got angry.

  I think the only reason why I remember this is because it was my first real moment of anger. I was the king of my family. Everyone wanted to see me, and I was treated so well. I didn't want anyone else coming and taking my spotlight away.
