Whole Class Effort. Zullay Orozco

       My favorite singer is Frank Ocean. I like him because he has his own style of music. It’s unique. I guess every musical performer is unique in their own way but Frank has a certain style that you can’t find in anyone else’s music. His music is a sort of romantic R&B mixed with his own little style. I like the way he puts his beats and lyrics together into a song and how good they both complement each other. He has impacted my life because of the risks he has taken in his music career. About a month ago, he recently came out as being “bi-sexual” and he said this a few weeks before his new album “Channel Orange” came out. I am proud of him for doing that because he probably lost a few fans, but he also gained new ones. He has the courage to stand up for what he believed in and I admire that about him.

            I am a very “green” person and I despise anyone that doesn’t have a care of what our world is becoming. Every day, we encounter new environmental problems and people just seem like they have no care in the world. I became a vegetarian because I wanted to make a difference. I go to beach cleanups so that I could feel like I’m doing at least something great for our environment. It feels so bad to live in a place where you see people in the streets throwing plastic wrappers on the streets when there is a garbage can 2 feet away from them, or how sick someone can be to abuse and mistreat animals in a farm. All these things really got me thinking one day in my high school freshman class when my biology teacher explained how life on Earth could end very soon due to all of our ignorance. Living on this planet is like living in your own home, you wouldn’t just throw random garbage on the floor, or harm others in your home by releasing harsh chemicals into the air. The way you live at home should be the same way you treat your real home, EARTH.
