My favorite historic figure is JFK. John F. Kennedy is my favorite historic figure because he was optimistic, selfless, and intelligent. Kennedy was being optimistic when he said "Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future,". Another reason I like JFK is because he was selfless. During World War 2, Kennedy served in the Navy. After his ship was literally cut in half, everyone went overboard. Since many of the men were injured they were having trouble swimming. That's when Kennedy saved their lives by bringing them ashore on an island. After he saved the first group, he went back and saved more. After this, he swam to another nearby military base to get help. This earned him the Purple Heart and my respect. Lastly, Kennedy was very intelligent. Kennedy went to Harvard for 4 years and graduated with honors.

For 2017 I have three pretty simple goals. In 2017, I want to throw 30 feet in shotput, graduate 9th grade with a 4.2 GPA, and reach 200 followers on soundcloud. I want to throw 30 feet in shotput, because that will put me in a good position for next year. By this I mean, I will be at the same distance as the 10th graders this year. I would like to end 9th grade with a 4.2 GPA because Harvard's average GPA for an accepted high school student is only 4.04, so I will stand out quite a bit. This will set me on a good path for next year, and for the rest of my schooling career. Lastly, I want to gain 200 followers on my soundcloud, so i start getting more views on my songs. Currently i have 50 ish followers, but I get 300-700 views on my songs. If you do the math, that should mean by the time i hit 200 I will be amassing 1,200-2,800 views on my songs, which would be very cool. ]]> 2017-01-23 15:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/smartin51/jvjvzqba9yo5/wish/148753222 smartin51 https://padlet.com/smartin51/jvjvzqba9yo5/wish/148753557 When are you going to stop rapping?
I've taken breaks from rapping in the past, but I feel as if I will never truly quit. I only do it as a past time now anyways, so it isn't too serious. Whenever I'm bored and don't feel like playing a video game, I'll sit down to rap. It usually takes me a bit to think of a topic and find a beat, but it's worth it. So, as of right now, and because there are no negative effects of my rapping, I will continue to do so. Until I get bored with it that is.

Surprisingly, I don't take school as seriously i should. I feel like my brain is just a sponge, so I'm lucky. I generally don't study for tests and I still get a high GPA. This is what makes people ask me why I try so hard in school. Either way, Sponge, or not, school is important and should be take seriously if you plan to pursue and kind of profession when you get older. I want to be a doctor, so I'm making SURE that I maintain a high GPA. Besides the fact that I want to be a doctor when I grow up, I do it for my parents. I know that they appreciate the fact that I do that. ]]> 2017-01-23 15:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/smartin51/jvjvzqba9yo5/wish/148753680 smartin51 https://padlet.com/smartin51/jvjvzqba9yo5/wish/149053891 Where is your favorite vacation spot?
My favorite vacation spot that I've been to is Hawaii. I like Hawaii because each island is different. By this I mean, the food on Maui will be different than the food in Honolulu. Another reason I like Hawaii is for the beauty of it alone. I went to Hawaii because my parents were getting married, so of course we had a photo shoot in front of a beautiful sunset and a stunning ocean. Lastly, I enjoyed Hawaii because that is where I learned to surf. Surfing was very fun, but challenging and I enjoyed every second of it.]]> 2017-01-24 15:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/smartin51/jvjvzqba9yo5/wish/149053891
