Narrative With Song Lyrics

All my life I've been lonely. I never had many friends. In pre-k I only played with my cousins and hung around my teacher. In elementary, again, I hung out with my cousin. Here I met new people. I had friends, but they weren't really my friends because they only knew my through my cousin. They never really hung out with me but with my cousin. So I never really had real friends in elementary, until fourth grade where i met this kid who liked the same things as me. We hung out until middle school. He let me stand under his umbrella.

"When the sun shines, we'll shine together. Told you I'll be here forever. Said I'll always be a friend, Took an oath, I'ma stick it out till the end. Now that it's raining more than ever, Know that we'll still have each other. You can stand under my umbrella, You can stand under my umbrella." - Umbrella by Rihanna ft. Jay-Z

In middle school/junior high me and my friend didn't talk very much, we grew apart. I met new friends in the weirdest way. I was being bullied by an idiot and his friends, who where in my class, told him to stop bullying me. We became friends, besides the bully. I was a little self concuss, I was shy. The next year I was in a new class with no one I knew, but i became friends with two guys who where inseparable.

In eighth grade is the time i had the most friends. I reunited with my friend from sixth grade. I met my best friend there. We would always hang out. Now were in different high schools so we don't talk anymore, I saw him yesterday but i couldn't talk to him because i was in my car. All these friend ships taught me to always keep my head up, and that life isn't fair, they also taught me not to play fair in the game of life.

"Life's a game but it's not fair, I break the rules so I don't care. So I keep doin' my own thing, Walkin' tall against the rain. Victory's within the mile. Almost there, don't give up now. Only thing that's on my mind, Is who's gonna run this town tonight?" - Run This Town by Jay-Z ft Rihanna & Kanye West

Wild Card Essay: Discovery of Music

Right now music is a big part of my life, but it wasn't always like that. When i was younger I really didn't like music, I didn't hate music but i didn't like it ether. My cousin always talked about music with every one, except me because i had no clue of what he was talking about. I never had time for music, I was to busy trying to keep up with school. I was pretty good in school, I just wanted to make sure I didn't fall behind, I wanted to be the firth in my family to make it past the ninths grade.

It was between the end of fifth grade and the beginning of sixth grade that i started getting more and more into music. I started off by watching music videos. As time went by i got more into music. I could talk about music with my cousin more now, even if we have different taste in music. Music is something, probably the only thing, everyone like/loves. Music is liked by everyone because it has many forms and it expresses many different emotions.

Now I'm all about music, my life revolves around music. The first year of high school I took a music production class. It was amazing, even if i didn't finish the class. I'm doing everything i can to get into music. I'm writing songs, I'm learning to read music. I'm trying to learn the guitar, piano, and the drums; but, its hard when you don't know where to go to learn. I hope that in the future i have a courier in the music business.

Where I'm From

I'm from a kingdom
Where fate smiles upon many.
I'm from a land
Where everything is sacred

Where I'm from there is happiness.
Where I'm from there is clean water,
There is air so pure.
Where I'm from the earth is rich,
The plants and animals are healthy,
That's where I'm from.
But,
Where I live is a mess
Where I live the water is contaminated,
The air is toxic.
Where I live the earth is unhealthy,
Plants and animals are dieing.

That is where I live,
Where everyone wishes to live
Where we're from.

Violence Essay

I've never really had any violence in my life. My life has been boring, nothings ever happen to me, except the time with my brother. My brother use to drink, when i was younger, & when he came home drunk he would ask me a simple question. When i answered and it wasn't the answer he wanted he would place a knife on my head and tell me to say the answer he wanted to hear. Sometimes he would hit me, never hard enough to do any damage but enough to put fear in my face.

He stopped drinking so he didn't hit me any more, and then he moved out. After my brother i never had anything bad happen to me. So, everything was going okay until i went to middle school. That's when the real violence in my life happened.

When i was in middle school, sixth grade, there was this kid in about three of my classes. He was a real jerk! that's probably cause he was in special ed. I was good friends with a few of his friends, so we would bump in to each other every now and then. He would bully me any chance he got; but, only when one of his & me friend was around, was when he wouldn't do anything to me. I got fed up with the bullying that i finally did something about it. I didn't rat him out because I'm not that type of person, I didn't use violence ether. I came up with a plan to get him caught for bullying me. I knew the dean of the school always walked around the school during lunch so i used that. I tricked him on bullying me, and he got caught.
Sense then the only violence in my life has been between me and my cousin. We always fight, but in a non-harmful way.

My Reading Autobiography

As far as I can remember, the first book that was read to me was "The Three Little Pigs." That was one of my favorite books when I was little. the second book that was read to me was had something to do with a girl and an animal. In my preschool/day cair we would have a few brakes from time to time, and one day I found my favorite book, "The Three Little Pigs". I knew it was that book from the moment I saw it. I took me about a week to read it about have way, i had trouble reading back then but i started to make progress. After one week, with the help of one teachers, I finally read the book completely.

No one read to me at home, my mom was to busy, my dad couldn't read English, and my brother just didn't want to, so I read to myself; however, my family didn't have many books. What i read where my brother's middle school math books and science, i guess that's why I'm good at math and science. I didn't understand much because I was young but i guess it stayed with me. I never really read much and when my dad left hat was the last thing i wanted to do.

In elementary the only books I really remember reading where "Jonie B. Jones." I don't remember the other books because i was always fighting with my cousin. The only real book I've read in elementary was "Harry Potter." I started the book 3 times till i finally finished the book.

So far I've been reading more than ever, but still not enough. During my teen years the most reading I've done was the 5 "Maximum Ride" books That I read during one weekend. I've read other books, but never read 5 BOOKS in one weekend! Now I've been writing a book but i don't think its going well. I already have 6 chapters. When I'm finished, or close to finish, I'll post it on the Internet. Up till now my readings been going good. I hope it stays that way in the next 10-20 years.
