Blog Post #5

The motivation to the design for my emblem came from the relationships I have been able to build throughout my life. I think of my relationships I have been able to build as being able to last forever. Whether it is with my friends, teachers, etc.. I believe the relationships I have will always last. Therefore I have used an infinity sign as my emblem to show my relationships are infinite. Also, I like to think as the background of the galaxy showing how vast, and big the world is. Which means there are so many opportunities out there for me, and I want to be able to take advantage of each opportunity. I am so fortunate to have met people in my life who truly care for me, and want to see me succeed. Especially in my first semester of college I have built many relationships, and I hope to continue to build many more. One slogan or motto that I would use to describe my current path in life is "Tough times don't last, Tough people do". I am going to go through many tough times but the toughest people are going to be able to make it, and survive. I motivate myself even through the hardest times to never give up, and strive to be great.

Challenge Check in #3

Completing the challenge I chose helped enhance my understanding of hip-hop by it made me analyze hip-hop more closely. I was able to learn that hip-hop can be really whatever you want it to be. Hip-hop is about self expression whether it is through a dance, song, or art. Also,  I was able to pay attention to details for both Kanye and Jay-Zs' music videos. Being able to analyze every detail of the music videos helped me get a better understanding of what hip-hop really is. The most difficult part of the whole challenge though was being able to compare both music videos. As well as having to pay attention to every detail in the music videos. I had to focus very hard to compare and differentiate the music videos definitions of hip-hop.
