New Teacher Essay

Peace, Love, & Power, my name is LaShante Richardson. I am 14 years old in the 8th grade. I was born on December 8,1994. My favorite color is pink. The three things that I feel you should know about me is who I am as a student, want I want to be when I grow up, and what I like to do.

First, I will discuss my hobbies. What I like to do in my free time is to shop. I shop with my friends, as well going with my mother. Aside from liking to shop, I also like to read. The types of books that show interest in me, is drama, mystery, and all other types of series on the lines of those genres. Listening, dancing, and singing to music. Doing theses things makes me calm and at peace. It's kind of like a meditation technique.

Second, my future( what I want to be ). What I want to be an obstetrician. The college that I will attend to achieve this goal is Morehouse School Of Medicine. I plan to make louts of money. Don't get me wrong, I'm not picking this job because of the money, but because of my love and interest in babies and delivering them. I would like to have a nice car, house, have kids and be married. I won't be dependant on him though.

Lastly, I will discuss who I am as a student. You could say that I am like any other 14 year old student. At times I can be very moody. Some days I can be lazier than others. Which in return may effect my performance in participation. I'll assure you that you won't see that side of me that often. I get my work done and do my best effort towards it. The way how I grade my self is very hard because I really don't except nothing below an "A". People say that "B"'s are still good and that I am being to hard on myself, but for some reason "B's" are like a just passed grade to me.

To conclude this essay, I would really like you to recognize me as one of your best hard working student. I told you my hobbies, who I am as a student and what I want to be. So, I hope you find this information helpful for you getting a feel of what kind of student I am. Although they say "Actions speak louder than words".

Critical Analysis of Hip - Hop(cont)

There's Hope- India Arie

This verse in "There's Hope" by India Arie has a very positive influence on young people aside from "Hipnotized" by Bigie Smalls. This verse and song has a positive influence on young people because it's talking about how she thought like how young people male and female of today, thought you need expensive cars to make you happy, but she learned a leason. The lesson that she learned was it's not expensive cars but it's the faith that you have in your heart. She also finds that having little was overated, and having millions was to complicated, so she was left with the thought of it's all about your perception(how you look at or see things)of life. That's why "There's Hope" is my choice of a positive song in comparision to Biggie Smalls "Hipnotized".

"There's Hope" India Arie

[Verse 1:]
Back when I had a little
I thought that I needed a lot
A little was over rated,
but a lot was a little too complicated
You see-Zero didn't satisfy me
A million didn't make me happy
That's when I learned a lesson
That it's all about your perception
Hey-are you a pauper or a superstar
So you act, so you feel, so you are
It ain't about the size of your car
It's about the size of the faith in your heart

Biggie Smalls- Hipnotized

This verse of Hipnotized has a bad influence on young people and society. I say this because this verse influences the nasty life of being a rapper. Meaning that when you get filthy rich you can do things and not get the repracusions of it. Also that having hoes is okay.
This verse has a great impact on the young people of today. The reason behind me saying this is because now a days all you see is young men trying to get with about 3 or 4 young women at one time.
