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!
