Choice Sheet

I will graduate from Akins in a few months, but that only marks the beginning of a new chapter. I plan on attending The University of Texas at Austin and being a Longhorn. Sadly I won't live on campus; I'll be living right at home. At UT I plan on majoring in Athletic Training, however, that's very likely to change. College hasn't even started yet but I have already changed my major a good four times. Life is a mystery to me at the moment and I have no idea where life is going to take me. Everybody wants a successful future, but that means nothing to me without happiness. Anyways, I hope that my grades continue to stay up and I'll enjoy the remaining of my senior year. Life has passed by a whole lot quicker than I thought, but soon enough, I'll be walking across that stage and done with high school.

2012 In Review

Best song of 2012 goes to Pyramids by Frank Ocean. This is a 10 minute song that's made of nothing but talent and amazingness. There are many different beats throughout the song and has different moods but all blends in very well. This album was amazing in general and Frank deserved the Grammy's of best new artist. It's the best album and definitely has many of my favorite tracks.

Avengers is the best movie of 2012, HANDS DOWN. I loved all of the Marvel movies and combining all of the heroes into one great movie was the best thing ever. It was filled with action along with comedy and I could watch this movie over and over again without getting tired of it. I'm not normally into super heroes, but The Avengers is something else that's worth my time. I highly suggest it to anybody who hasn't seen it before.

One of the most important stories of 2012 is the election. Barrack Obama wins office once again and will continue to make our country strong within the next 4 years. He will help determine how our future will turn out and do his best to make America a better place. It was a very close election, but Obama was able to come out with the win.

One of the most important people of 2012 goes to Adele. She was a new artist that impacted many lives. Her music spoke of the wonders of love and of course, heartbreaks. She attracted many fans, boys and girls, young and old. She set record breaking numbers of downloads and views of her music. She preformed at grammys and large shows. She quickly made her way up to the top and inspired others. 

The biggest 2012 sports entertainment has to be the Olympics. Not every year we get to see the entire world unite into one and compete. Millions were tuned in to support their country and watch the numerous sports. This was a very popular event that definitely made a remembrance for 2012.

Favorite Photo 2012

This will always be a memorable photo of 2012 that nobody will forget. This shooting has impacted America and this is just a really sad moment for us all.

I really like this picture because its made out of people and they all come together to form a perfect image of a girl.

This image really stands out to me because it shows the actual movement of the bullet of the gun. The capturing of the effect underwater is perfect.
