Write about your favorite activity. Convince me why I should try this activity and why it is enjoyable.
Basketball is a sport that is extremely fun. There are many different ways to play the game though. Some people don't like basketball because they have to work hard and do things that make them tired, which is very true, the actual game is pretty tiring and tough. Some of the parts of basketball however can be thrown out, you could just play pig with a friend, shoot around by yourself, or you could play knock out with a bunch of people. These games are fun because it doesn't really matter who wins or loses, it is just fun. Basketball also is a great stress reliever, you can go shoot for hours and just mess around and forget about everything that is happening outside of the basketball court. It is fun to just go throw the ball and see where and where you can't make it from. P.I.G is a game where one person shoots and if they make it, the other person has to make it there or they get a letter. It's fun to play with a close friend, because it doesn't mean anything besides knowing you beat them. Basketball is just a sport, but with this sport you can do many things, and have a blast with it. Never making a shot is sometimes embarrassing but they make hoops that you can lower, to where you can stand there and throw it in. Basketball is a great sport for people to work hard at, or even just relax and throw a ball at the hoop. This is why it is my favorite activity.

If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be and why?
If I could change just one thing about life for everyone, it would have to be the way people get depressed. I believe that everything happens for a reason except for bullying. If we didn't have bullying in the world, then we wouldn't have places being bombed, or places being shot up for no reason. Some of that would still happen because of other countries, yes, but we wouldn't have the people that just go somewhere and start taking innocent lives. I truly hate what our society has came to since the past. People didn't have to worry about someone randomly killing them, because they are depressed. I know not all of this comes from bullying, but I'm sure it doesn't help the situation at all. I would make the United States of America a happy place for all citizens, so they can live their lives to the fullest and not take others lives away from them. It honestly is my biggest pet peeve, I absolutely hate when things like this come up in the news, it makes me want to cry. So if I could, I would make the country a happy place for all citizens, knowing that everyone would be much more safe.

What is your legacy? What are you leaving behind for others? (or what do you hope you are leaving behind for others) Another way to think of this question: how do you want to be remembered by future students? Or do they want to remembered at all? If not, why not?
I want to be remembered by the things I did to make this school a good place for everyone. Like the things I have participated in and done well in. Such as for basketball I want to be remembered as the person who always tried hard and did their best no matter what, or by the one who always showed others the proper way to do things. Showing the other students that being a good athlete comes with practice and also with being a good student in the class room. Always trying to respect the teacher and understand their point of view. Getting good grades is a huge role in any extracurricular activities because if you don't you cant participate. I also want to be remembered as the kid with the color or the unique one. I love being bright and unique. Really shows my personality when I wear bright clothes or say things out of the random. I try and set an example of someone that is himself all of the time. Someone that doesn't act different around other people but the same for everyone to see. I believe in setting good examples of what other students should remember me as.

What are your five favorite songs at this point in time? Why?
1. "Started From The Bottom"- Drake - This song talks about his dedication to something and how him and his team are at the point they need to be in life. I like this song because it makes me think of Red Oak. At first there were a few things we were good at and that was it. This year we were good at just about everything. Our schools dedication and hard work has got them to a better season in the district.
2. "Lose Yourself"- Eminem - In this song it talks about how you have to forget about everything when your nervous and just have fun with whatever your doing. He talks about being nervous before going on stage for a rap battle and how he gets sick because of his nerves. In order for him to do good he had to lose himself in the moment. Get lost in what your doing so you don't even think about it anymore, you just do it.
3. "Waiting on a Women"- Brad Paisley - Talking about how he can wait on a woman forever, because they are beautiful and important. I like it because you should learn to wait on people that matter to you not just women. If they are important then you can wait because you love them. I have to wait on a lot of people in my life and this song has showed me not to get impatient with them but to cherish the moments you have while waiting for them.
4. "Call Me Maybe"- Carly Rae Jepsen - This song doesn't really have to many things in it that make me like it. The lyrics aren't my favorite or anything like that. I just like it because of all the good times I have had dancing to it. All the videos on youtube are really cool and some of the sports I have been involved in have had good times together while listening to this song.
5. "Austin"- Blake Shelton - I love this song mostly because it about loving someone for a really long time. I like how he leaves a message and explains everything that his going to be doing. At the end of the message he says "and ps if this is Austin, I still love you!" I like these lyrics because it really shows how long someone can actually love another person even though they have left. It is also good because he isn't afraid to show his feelings to anyone that calls, and he is honestly telling the truth.

Prompt 9
If you could create a movie of your life, who would you cast and what would the story be?
I would cast Adam Sandler as me because he is a funny guy. He does a lot of stupid movies but they are funny and make a lot of people laugh. He also has a heart but is kind of mean. I believe he is just like me in some ways even though he doesn't really look like me. He knows how to live life every day to the fullest. I try to do this so every day is a great memory. My dad reminds me a lot of Bill Cosby because he is really laid back but at the same time he has strict rules. My dad is pretty funny sometimes but he doesn't like to be disobeyed. My mom is just a unique person and I can't really see any actress being her. I'm sure someone would be perfect to preform her life but I just don't know him. A life as a movie guy would make my life so awesome. Having Adam Sandler be me in a movie would really show what I am like. They would know that I'm very sarcastic but also have a heart and do really care.

Writing Prompt #8
This quote is a big thing to me because I believe in what it says so much. I don't want to act like anyone else and I don't need to at all. I love being Tanner Johnson and wearing crazy outfits and being dumb and funny. All of these things I do are because I want to. Being this person knowing people might not like me doesn't bother me because I honestly believe that my real friends will like me no matter what. I don't need to have friends that I need to work to get, my true friends will be there even when I act stupid and dumb. They will be my friends no matter what. This is what the quote is saying, don't change so people will like you. Be the person you always are and the right people will love you. My friends love me because I'm unique, and if I was the same as everyone else they might not like me. So I would defiantly rather be the person I always am.

*If you could meet anyone - past or present - who would it be and why?* It's hard to pick who I would want to meet because there are so many people in the world. Right now however I would have to say Adam Sandler because he is the funniest actor I have seen. It would be so awesome to hang out with him for an entire day just to hear some of the things he has to say. I love all his movies and I think he is a really nice person. Even if all I got to do was say hi and shake his hand it would be completely amazing. There's a lot of funny people in the world however but not very many people make money to be funny. That's why I would choose Adam Sandler. He also has a lot of money and probably really cool toys so maybe we could see those things. There is a lot of people that I would like to meet, like i said before there is tons of people in the world. He would probably be the funniest guy to hook up with if you could though. This is why I want to meet him, and because not to many people I know can say they met Adam Sandler.
