Kayla's 11th Grade TPOL Describe your favorite academic subject and explain how it has influenced you? My favorite academic subject for my junior year specifically, was music class. I enjoyed music so much because music has made a big impact in my life, in and out of school. Music has been such an important part of my life that has bonded me and siblings. Music has been an outlet for me that has helped me to get through my happiest days and even my worst days. Singing and dancing is my passion and that all comes down to one specific subject, music. In music class, Mike, the music teacher, allows us students have our own freedom in class by being able to play the instrument of our choice, play the song of our choice. I think that being able to have this freedom of creativity helps us students think outside of the box and helps us build a source of uniqueness since everybody thinks in their own way. Music is all about the beauty of being different and that is what I live by. Music has made such a big difference in my life and I don’t know what I would do without music in my everyday life. It is a beautiful subject to study and dig deeper into and I think everyone should find their own passion within music.
Every person has a creative side, original and innovative thinking and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side. Basketball is my creative side,I've been playing since I was in 5th grade. Basketball teaches me to keep going to push myself and never give up. Basketball is a way to force myself and use basketball for a good use, like my anger and me being energetic to. A way to form myself to become a better person is not letting my guard down on the court. Basketball helps me relax get my head into the game and forget with whatever problem I have outside of the gym. Basketball motivates me to never give up in what I believe in no matter how much people will talk crap about me, basketball is a way of forgetting everything.
