Sprite Commercial

My favorite commercial is the Sprite commercial with Drake in it. It starts out with Drake rapping the song "Empire State of Mind". He starts to get tired from all the rapping and finally says that he cant rap anymore. Then, he takes a sip of Sprite, and his whole body transforms into a robot. You can see the Sprite fueling him and giving him energy. The commercial ended with Drake rapping with full on energy. What I loved about the commercial was that they showed Drake's body turn into something mechanical. The Sprite was fueling every part of his body and it made him so energized. I haven't seen Drake in many commercials, so I enjoyed watChing that. I mean I have never seen something so unique. Sprite does taste pretty good. It was actually a very persuading commercial! You can actually see the commercial on the video bar of my blog. Make sure you see the part where Drake turns into a machine!! Soda commercials are always interesting!

College and Career Unit Lessons

I have learned a lot of things from the college and career and career unit. The most important thing I learned to this unit was patience. I learned that you have to wait for many things. I also learned that getting a good job and going to a good college takes a lot of work. You have to work really hard. I learned how to write a resume, which will be really important in my future. I also learned how to fill out a college essay accompanied with a college essay. I was really glad that I got to fill the application out. Now I know some of the topics that I can use for my future college application. Then, I can practice writing my college application essay, so I have a better chance of getting into the college of my dreams, Yale University. Thanks to the unit, I got to learn more about Yale. I would not have payed so much attention to Yale if it weren't for this unit. I also loved using coin3.com because it helped me to find out about my occupation. It gave a lot of information, information that I would have never found on the internet alone. There are so many things to college and career that take a alot of time. This unit prepared me for the future, and I can now improve. Thanks a bunch, College and Career Unit! Mrs. Patalano, too! I would not have been able to do anyhting without her. This was an awesome unit.

College Essay

I've connected with a lot of characters from many miscellaneous novels. However, there is one character I look up to. Her name is Max, from Maximum Ride.
Max is a risk taker, a challenger, and a believer. She sticks with her family through thick and thin. She has a sharp mind, and she can always decide what to do. She puts her family first, and everything else comes later. They are her first priority. I love how she takes the biggest risks, just because they are right. Would you take the easy way out, knowing it was wrong? But Max, never. She is my hero. I cannot relate to her, but someday I want to end up like her. I want to to have a name in my town, or my country. I want to be known for doing something amazing. Yale University has the perfect education program, to allow students to excel in any major. Max is a fighter. She fights for the things she believes in. She may be mythical, but she is real to me. When I'm in a dilemma, I remember Max. She helps me choose what is right, even though it might take a while to complete. However,there is one thing that Max and I have in common. We both can start a great argument,and prove the other person wrong. Max is the main character in her life. She is a leader. To me, she symbolizes braveness,trust,boldness,and careness. Even though she is only fourteen years old, I feel that she has the potential to start being an adult. To her family, she is the mom. She never let's her age get in the way of her family and their needs. I strive to be that person. I strive to be the person who puts their goals right in front of them, and achieve each and every one. One day, I want to be the hero for somebody. My mom is the real life Max, for me. Her family comes first. She is the most brave person I know. She shows me that even though the task of living life is probably the most difficult thing that you will ever overcome, you will be able to succeed. She lives everyday like there is no tomorrow. There is one thing I learned from her. Live your life to the fullest. That's exactly what Max does. There is more to Max than just being a character in an adventure novel. She is my mentor, my hero, my friend. Someday, I want to just show everyone what I can do. Yale University, above all others, is the gateway to opportunities of a lifetime. Being the Max in my family, is one of them.
