What Music Means To Me.
I love listening to music it is the greatest life enhancer to have ever existed. You may be wondering life enhancer? the heck is this kid talking about, well ill tell you music makes everything better it enhances any experience you have. Across the world millions of people walk with some sort of music listening device in their ear or humming one of their favorite songs. Personally i am a huge rap fan although i do listen to a couple of bands and other genres of music. My favorite artist include Eminem, Tupac, Nas J-cole, Kendrick , DR.Dre and Chance the Rapper. I love rappers who are funny and have lyrics that you have to think about to understand the joke and that know how to hype themselves up they make you feel like they are the greatest people on the planet. I also enjoy rappers who have strong meanings and messages in their songs. Eminem is a combination of everything i like in a rapper he is witty and fast paced but has music that just reaches to your soul and makes you understand the hardships from his life and even inspires people in similar situations to rise above everything. Kendrick is also this way like Eminem he has a funny side but he also has music that lets you know how he built himself to the top and overcoming adversity. The stories most of all is what call my attention to music and rap specifically. To quote one of my favorite name songs " I aint here to save the fucking children but if one kid out of a hundred million who are going through a struggle feels and then relates, thats great."

Problems and struggles
Bell high students are often at a disadvantage in terms of academics. One major struggle students go to is that we are very limited in the amount of classes we can take as opposed to kids that go to school in say the east coast. When students from bell go into the big competitive colleges and universities the first thing they notice is how far out of their league those kids are. Honestly other children grew up in an environment in which they had a lot more preparation due to them living in rather wealthy area that don't have the limited resources bell has. The lack of resources then makes life in college a bigger adjustment therefore making it more difficult for Bell students to want to continue at the school. I feel that since Bell is very heavily populated this also presents the issue of diversity. Bell students don't know what other people are like and other customs and beliefs and this is a problem because it greatly diminishes their understanding of the world.

The Most Interesting Person in the World
To me my most interesting friend is a girl. Its funny that a guy would get along so well with a girl rather than another guy but a girl brings a refreshing change of perspective to any conversation. My friend and I connect on such a raw level that we can carry out a conversation on any given subject and talk about it for hours on end. She challenges me and questions me constantly forcing the conversation to spirals from one extreme to another. I have learned that with this friend there are no limits we can tell each other anything and make jokes at each others expense and yet the relationship remains the same. Being interesting isn't about having crazy wild stories or anything for that matter, people who are interesting to us are usually people that understand us and people with whom we can discuss the world. To me this friend is the most interesting person simply because she gets me and i get her on a level so primal its interesting to even try to describe, the essence of our friendship is interesting.
