Writing Prompt #13

Write about your favorite activity.  Convince me why I should try this activity and why it is enjoyable.
My favorite activity would have to be bowling.  I have been bowling since I was a little kid.  My entire family loves to bowl.  We have all been on a bowling league at some point.  My sister and I have both bowled on the high school team.  Bowling is enjoyable because it is something everyone can do.  It isn’t just for young people or old people.  They even have bumpers on the gutters so little kids can bowl.  You can bowl if you are perfectly healthy or if you are in a wheelchair.  Bowling is just a fun thing to do.  It is fun to roll a ball down the lane and see how many pins you can knock down.  You should try bowling because it is really fun!

Writing Prompt #12

If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be and why?

If I could change one thing in the world, I would make it so people don’t think it is okay to be mean or rude to anyone or anything.  A lot of people in this world think that it is alright to do anything to anyone in order to be happy.  That really is not true.  You need to think of others before yourself.  Think of what you are doing and how it will affect others.  Think before you act or speak, not after.  People do not seem to think of the consequences of their actions.  They don’t think of how what they are doing can affect others, and they really should.  I think if we changed that, this world would be a much better place.

Writing Prompt #11

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 hope that I am leaving behind some positive things for others.  I like to try to keep a positive attitude in everything I do and be a good role model.  I do this so people younger than me don’t see how some of my classmates act and think that is the only way to do things.  I really hope that some people see my behavior and try to copy it.  I learned that if you are a positive person and you think happy thoughts, life will be easier for you and you won’t be so miserable.  I really hope that I show that and some of the younger kids pick up on that and try to be positive and teach kids younger than them the same thing.

Writing Prompt #10

What are your five favorite songs at this point in time?  Why?

1.       “Some Nights” by Fun- I really love this song.  It is really catchy.  Parts of this song remind me of things that are going on in my life.  I like pretty much everything by Fun.

2.       “Glad You Came” by The Wanted- This is a really good song.  It sounds really cool.  It would be a really fun song to sing along to, if I could sing.

3.       “Titanium” by David Guetta and Sia- This song has a good beat and a good message.  It is just a really good song.  It is on “Pitch Perfect”, and I really enjoy that movie!

4.       “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-A-Lot- This song is really just fun.  I’ve been listening to it for practically my entire life.  I remember dancing to it at the dances we would have at the summer camp I went to as a kid.  It just brings back a lot of awesome memories.

5.       “Abracadabra” by Frank Ticheli- We played this song for band a while back.  It is a really good one- probably my favorite I have ever played for concert band in high school.  I really like music by Frank Ticheli because he writes music with a lot of good clarinet parts.  His songs make it fun for clarinet players like me.  “Abracadabra” is just a really fun and intense song and I could listen to it or play it all day long!

Writing Prompt #9

If you could create a movie of your life, who would you cast and what would the story be?

If I could create a movie about my life, I would cast Kristen Stewart as me.  I would cast her because people say that she does not show very many emotions and they also say that about me.  For the role of my mother, I would cast Julie Walters.  Julie Walters is awesome like my mother.  They also both look really awesome with red hair.  I would cast Mark Williams as my father because they are both really good dads.  Kaley Cuoco would be cast as my sister, Amanda, because they are both blond.  The story could be about my senior year of high school.  It could show all of the highlights of this year.

Writing Prompt #8



This quote says that you should not do what everyone else is doing.  Do what you want to get where you want to be.  You cannot necessarily get where you want to be in life by following what everyone else is doing.  You should not let other people tell you what to do.  If someone tells you what you want to do is stupid, you probably should not listen to them.  Something inside of you knows what you want, and you have to listen to that.  You need to be able to follow your heart to get what you want.  If you feel like you want to do something with your life, you should probably do it.  The most important thing in life is to know yourself and knowing how to get what you want.  Just listen to yourself and no one negative and you can be anything you want to be and do anything you want to do.

Prompt #7

If you could meet anyone - past or present - who would it be and why?

There are so many people I want to meet, but right now I would most like to meet Rebel Wilson.  I want to meet her because she is really hilarious.  She played Fat Amy in Pitch Perfect.  She was really good in that movie.  She is a really good actress.  She was born and raised in Australia, and that is really cool.  Rebel Wilson has an awesome accent.  Everything she says is automatically one thousand times funnier because of her Australian accent.  It would be fun to just have a conversation with her.  Rebel Wilson also has some very nice hair.  I like her “Orthodox Jew Ponytail” that she has in Pitch Perfect.
