My Technology & Social Media


Social media is a huge part of the world today. Almost everyone who has a phone uses it. My favorite social media is Instagram. Instagram is an app used to share pictures and videos with friends and others on the internet. It is a social networking service that is owned by Facebook.

It was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, and was launched in October 2010. It is a fun app because there are so many accounts and pictures and videos and things on Instagram that you can be on there for hours and not get bored. It is very easy to use, it is very self-explanatory and not hard to use at all. It shows you how to work the app when you first get it and it just gets easier and easier.

You can post anything you want on there and you can make your profile private or not so that everyone can see it or only your friends can see it. When you post things people can like and comment on them. An example of a post that I just made is I posted pictures and videos from prom that all my followers can see.

One of the apps I use the most is an app called Hudl. It is an app/website that is used by athletes around the world. You can make your highlights on there and you can record your games and go back and watch them and see what you did and even watch film of the other teams that you will play to see what they do.

The purpose of it is to help athletes get recruited because college coaches go on there to watch your highlights. It is also used by coaches and teams to break down games and the other teams to see what you did wrong and what you need to work on or expect for the next game.

It is easy to use, all you do is make an account and you can edit plays you made and make them into your highlights and you can watch previous games and skip through plays, watch in slow motion, you can draw and see what you should’ve done during a certain play, etc.

It is valuable to me because it helps me a lot when it comes to playing football and getting better and being prepared for each team we play. I can see clearly each mistake I made and what I could’ve done instead to be better, and I can see what each teams tendencies are and how we can beat them. It is also easy to use which is great, and the app is how most coaches see your highlights and game film.

Another one of my favorite social media’s is Youtube. The purpose of Youtube is to entertain people and sometimes inform them, there are many purposes of Youtube. On Youtube you just open the app and it gives you suggestions of videos to watch based off of what you previously have watched.

When you want to watch a certain video you can search what the video is about and a number of videos will pop up for it and you can watch them whenever you want. It is very interesting and worthwhile because it is not only used for entertainment, but also to inform.

If you find the right videos you can actually learn things on Youtube and if you want to learn how to do things you can go on Youtube and there’s a number of videos that will teach you.

My Academics


This school year we’ve had a lot of projects and group presentations and things like that. The most memorable one for me is the utopian project in government class. It was the most challenging project of the year and it was a huge part of my grade. It was a group project and I worked with three other people on this project.

It was a very long and challenging project completing the whole thing. There were many parts to the project, but before we did anything we had to brainstorm our whole utopian government and see how we were going to structure it and everything. We had to study our current government and identify problems we have with it and what we’ll change and add to it to make it better. It was a lot of work creating a whole government and running it and choosing what to do for certain things.

There were a lot of challenging things about this project. The most challenging thing was coming together as a group and coming up with things and agreeing on them. It was also hard to come up with good solutions to problems that would actually work and we all agreed on. We all had different views and opinions on things so it was hard to do anything when everyone didn’t agree all the time. We eventually came together and agreed on things but it was tough.

I learned a lot during this project, which was surprising because I didn’t expect to learn that much. I learned more about our government which was good because I didn’t know a lot about it. I learned about all the things the government goes through and works on to keep the country going and successful. I learned how to work through tough times with classmates even when we didn’t agree all the time. I also learned how to compromise with people to get things done.


My Visual Media

All American is a television drama series that first aired October 10, 2018. This series is about a young man named Spencer James who plays football for South Crenshaw high school in California. He was born and raised there but begins to be recruited by the head coach of Beverly High in Beverly Hills.

Spencer doesn’t want to go at first, he wants to stay with his mom and brother and all his friends where he has always lived, but his mom and best friend Coop convince him the move to Beverly Hills would be the best move for him. South Crenshaw has a lot of gangs, killings, poverty, poor education and they don’t really get a lot of college recruits there so Beverly would set him up better for the future.

He is forced to move in with the head coach, Billy, and his family to protect his transfer permit to Beverly. Billy’s son Jordan is not so happy about this, and neither is star receiver Asher.

Spencer has a tough time when he first moves there and doesn’t feel that he fits in with everyone at Beverly Hills and makes regular trips back home. Spencer is trying to fit in and get the feel at Beverly and he becomes close with Jordan’s sister Olivia who is struggling with her own problems.

This series holds my attention because it is very entertaining and it relates to the real world at the same time. I also am very interested in it because it is inspired by a true story so it’s interesting to see kind of what they went through.

The drama is like real issues going on in the world, in poor neighborhoods and violence and high school drama, and drug problems. The genre of this series is drama, and if you watch the show you will quickly see why.

The characters are the main character Spencer James, head coach Billy Baker, quarterback Jordan Baker, Olivia Baker, Mrs. Baker, Asher Adams, Spencer’s girlfriend Leila, Spencer’s mom Grace James, Spencer’s brother Dillon James, Spencer’s dad Corey James, and Spencer’s best friend Tamia Cooper (Coop).

The actors are Daniel Ezra (spencer), Cody Christian (Asher), Greta Onieogou (Leila), Bre Z (Coop), Taye Diggs (Billy), Michael Behling (Jordan), Jayln Hall (Dillon), Karimah Westbrook (Grace). I watch this show everywhere I go because I can watch it on my phone and I always have my phone with me. I watch it on Netflix on my phone and at home on my Xbox One.

My Passion

My passion in life has always, and will always be the game of football. Football has done so much for me in my life and without football I don’t know what I would be doing right now.

I started playing football when I was five years old. I first got into football because of my dad. I would always have a football in my hand or watching football games with my dad or outside playing football in the backyard ever since I was 2 years old. Football has always been a part of my life. My dad saw that I always loved football, so he decided to put me on a team and coach the team.

I started out playing in the Whitehall Youth Football League (WYFL). My first team was the raiders and I started out playing defensive end, but I didn’t play that much because I was small because I played up and I wasn’t as good as everyone else. That didn’t last long though because after my first season I began to train with my dad during my free time and everytime I was at his house I would always be training, rain or shine.

The next year I got significantly better and changed my position to running back. I did well that season, but I still felt like I could do way better. So the following summer I ended up living with my dad and we trained almost every single day during the summer and it paid off. That year I led my team to a 8-2 season and we won the championship and I was MVP of the league.

I played in Whitehall until I moved to reynoldsburg the beginning of 5th grade and that’s where I have been playing football ever since. I ended up switching my position again from running back to quarterback in fourth grade. Football has been a part of me my whole life and I don’t think that will ever change.

I’ve been training for football my whole life. Football takes up most of your life if you want to be good at it. While everyone else is out having fun going to parties, going to the movies, swimming, going on vacations, sleeping all day, playing video games we have to be out there on the field working hard, perfecting our craft and getting better at the game we love to play. Really we have barely any free time because if we do it is spent training for football or watching film or something that has to do with football.

I hope football will take me on to a division one college in the near future because that is what I have been working so hard for is to go to college for free and play the game I love. Once I get to college through playing football I plan to get my education and graduate and get a good job and pursue my career. Once I have that all set up I definitely won’t forget about football. I will coach football, whatever level I can, and move my way up. I will also be a trainer for football players also to help them get better.
