Talented Inside and Out

Ok so normally I don’t like to talk about my talents because I’m worried I will look conceited or vain, but since I have to I will. I am going to split this assignment in three parts, my physical and mental talents, as well as miscellaneous.

First comes the physical attributes of myself that I am proud of. An overall view of it would be to say that I am physically fit, but I want to take it a little deeper than that. I have a insanely high metabolism, which means that my body will digest quicker and if I don’t eat enough eat at any excess muscle tissue(which makes working out pretty useless after a while). Although most would look at this as a bad thing I enjoy the perks that tag along. I stay light weight wise which allows me to: run faster, have higher stamina, defy gravity(sort of), and do all kinds of awesome physical maneuvers that would be harder without my metabolism. That doesn’t mean I just sit around though, in fact, I work out on a weekly basis to keep myself fit. This includes running and doing parkour around my house and neighborhood. I often aspire to go on a national obstacle course know as “American Ninja Warrior” and although the name sounds silly, many take it quite seriously.

Next up is mental capabilities I am proud of. Although I have my slow moments(but who doesn’t I mean come on), I am normally a very observant person when it comes to things happening around me. I am especially good at reading people and their emotions, which has lead me to be a pretty good judge of character. I am also extremely empathetic, which means I can easily share emotions with someone or something. I like being empathetic because it helps me connect with people on a deeper level and has often lead to me being that one friend everyone goes to for advice or just to talk about whats on their minds. Overall I am very happy with my mental sharpness because it has helped me out in a lot of interesting situations. I am able to think on my feet and get myself out of precarious scenarios which would have otherwise ended up very bad.

Next up is miscellaneous, these are talents that use a lot of both mental and physical capabilities listed above. Fist off is that I really enjoy and have been told that I am good at singing. I like singing because music to mean is a lot more than just notes and words, and being able to personally project music is such a confidence booster for me and makes me very happy. Next is I am very good at acting. I enjoy snapping into another character because portraying someone other than yourself is a difficult art to master. That is probably why I love it the most, there is always room for improvement and it is indeed an art.

Those are the talents I am especially proud of. Hey Mr. Lindner here’s a link to the previously mentioned obstacle course I would like you to check out it is really awesome and my goal is to go on it and complete all stages.

Relatable song

Refrain] (x2)
Sur ma route, oui
Il y a eu du move, oui
De l’aventure dans l’movie
Une vie de roots
Sur ma route, oui
Je n’compte plus les soucis
De quoi devenir fou, oui
Une vie de roots

[Pont] (x4)
Sur ma route

[Couplet 1]
Sur ma route, j’ai eu des moments de doute
J’marchais sans savoir vers où, j’étais têtu rien à foutre
Sur ma route, j’avais pas d’bagage en soute
Et, dans ma poche, pas un sou, juste la famille, entre nous
Sur ma route, y’a eu un tas d’bouchons
La vérité : j’ai souvent trébuché
Est-ce que tu sais que quand tu touches le fond
Il y a peu de gens chez qui tu peux te réfugier ?
Tu peux compter que sur tes chers parents
Parce que les amis, eux, disparaissent un par un
Oui, il m’arrive d’avoir le front au sol
Parce que Dieu est grand et, on est seul, on meurt seul

[Refrain] (x2)

[Pont] (x4)

[Couplet 2]
Sur ma route, on m’a fait des coups en douce
L’impression qu’mon cœur en souffre, mais j’suis sous anesthésie
Sur mon chemin, j’ai croisé pas mal d’anciens
Ils me parlaient du lendemain et que tout allait si vite
Ne me parle pas de nostalgie
Parce que j’t’avoue que mon cœur est trop fragile
J’suis comme un pirate naufragé
Oui, mon équipage est plus qu’endommagé
Je sèche mes larmes, j’baisse les armes
J’veux même plus savoir pourquoi ils m’testent, les autres
Si y’a plus rien à prendre, je sais qu’il m’reste une chose
Et, ma route, elle est trop longue, pas l’temps de faire une pause

       I don’t know if I did the quote thing right but there’s the song. This song is called sur ma route by the french artist Black M. This song is about a man finding his way through life. In he refrain he compares his life to a movie, and how different things happen and he feels alone though all his adventures. I can relate to that because every now and then I will look back and realize that my life is a lot different than it was a month or a year ago. Sometimes it actually feels as if I am going through my life by myself without peoples help.
      In the first section after the refrain, he talks about being stubborn and choosing to stay alone and leave his family, and how his friends slowly disappear one by one. Sometimes I get the feeling that although I know a lot of people and have a lot of friends, I don’t have a lot of people that I can go to if I really need help.
     Basically, the entire song is about going through life almost though a collection of movies. Different scenarios and and situations that only have one thing in common. You. Overall I find this song really relatable because there are a lot of things in my life now that weren’t before and things that were in my life before that aren’t anymore.

Response to the suspended book list

I find the fact that the High School would ban these books absolutely terrible. Although the books had some scenes involving matters of adulthood, the central message of these books isn’t “lets go have sex while we do drugs because are parents beat us.” We just finished the scarlet letter, but reading it didn’t make me want to go have an illegitimate baby and torture myself until I die with what could be a horrifying chest piece. These books we read in high school are chosen because of the message they teach. We don’t just read random books that have no significant meaning other than to kill time. It may just be me, but this article actually ticked me off. I understand some parents are kind of touchy about what their kids read, but that doesn’t mean that they should take it away from all the other students. Just have your kid read a different book instead. I am not angry at all at the parents reasons for their reasons, but their actions were extreme and uncalled for. That is how I feel about the books getting suspended from the reading list.
