My famous person who I would personally love to meet would be the great Frank Sinatra himself. I would choose Frank because he is in my opinion one of the greatest musicians of all time, not only that but also such a interesting man who's been through so much. When meeting him I'd love to go where he writes his music to find out where he gets his inspiration and where all his ideas come from. I'd first ask him what was it like to create such amazing music? I'd then ask what was it like to be arrested at such a young age? One of my final questions for him would be if he had any regrets and if so, what were they? I would ask him that last question because it's nice to know that even someone so great had problems and things he wished he could fix or take back just like non famous people would. Overall, Frank Sinatra would be worth meeting because he was such an innovative person who had so much to offer and a phenomenal artist as well.

Trait 1: The first trait that I think described Nick was having courage. I think Nick has courage because he was able to take his story and share it with the world even though it might've been difficult. Trait 2: The second trait that I think describe Nick was having the ability to preserve. Nick is very perserverent because he took how he was with no arms or legs and made it a positive thing and something that he learned to live with and is no in a way proud. Trait 3: The third trait I chose that described Nick was confidence. Nick has confidence because he's proud of who he is and embraces it instead of feeling bad for himself and hating life. Connection: Over the summer I got very sick and was told I may not be able to do certain things that I really love to do like dance or play Volleyball. Though I found a way to eventually work around this  and found away to do the things I love and do it safely. This relates to Nick because he was told he couldn't do things like f

The most impactful and inspiring commercial I saw this year was the Airbnb commercial. I think that this commercial was really powerful and inspirational because it just really showed how the world can be such a better place if people just accept one another. This commercial also described the different types of people in the world. For example their religion, ethnicity, who they want as a partner, and much more. I really think that this commercial was really just trying to show people that there are so many people in this world and theres no hiding it so we might as well get along. They're most likely trying to reach everyone who has a problem with people who aren't like them and looking for them to have a change of heart and make a difference in the world. Overall I chose the Airbnb commercial due to its powerful message of acceptance and its amazing way of demonstrating it! Airbnb Commercial

The best advise I've ever gotten was to make the most out of everything that happens to me. For example before living in Berwyn I would always be negative and never was really happy with my life. Though my father sat down with me and  explained  that the only way I could be happy was if I let things go and made the most of everything. After reminding myself and reminding myself I finally started to use my fathers advise and I've definitely noticed I am much happier. All in all my best advise was from my father about making the best of everything and whenever I get the chance I try to spread this great advise as well!
