My Role Model
This document is kind of different because I decided that this might be an option for next year or something. This document is about one role model of mine. This person is a rapper, one of them who inspired me to rap, Gerald Earl Gillum, AKA G-Eazy. He is my favorite rapper, and he is a role model of mine for quite a few reasons. A lot of rappers in 2017 and 2018, even in 2016, possibly before that all seem to down the same route, and a lot of them don’t even seem to rap! I think G-Eazy has his own special flow, and here some songs that might give you a good taste of what G-Eazy’s flow is: Me, Myself & I, Random, One of Them, Drifting, Everything Will be OK, I Mean it. Another reason I am inspired by G-Eazy is because he can put together an amazing story, and here are some songs of his that entail great storytelling: Me, Myself & I, Everything Will be OK, Sad Boy, S----. Especially in “Me, Myself & I” I believe he did a phenomenal job because he can put together a verse that explains a lot but in only thirty seconds. I also really enjoy how he engineers his music, I would call him an artist that engineers dark, emotional music with a bit of a higher pitched tone, and here are some songs that support that: Random, Me, Myself & I, Everything Will be OK, I Mean it, Nothing to me, These Things Happen, Intro, Him & I, Let’s Get Lost. The last reason I am inspired by G-Eazy, and this probably sums it all up, but even now it still seems like Gerald is doing it for the music, not for the money, and like Macklemore said, “Music is a mirror” (Macklemore - Excavate) and NF said, “Music is an outlet for me” (NF - Therapy Session), and one quote G-Eazy himself said was, “They all take the money for granted but don’t wanna work for it, tell me now isn’t it funny, nah” (Bebe Rexha and G-Eazy - Me, Myself & I). If this document inspired you to listen to G-Eazy, that’s excellent! If it inspired you to listen to more music in general, that’s even better! But remember, music is a mirror, and if you break that mirror by taking the money for granted, you’re only going to break yourself.

THE DAY IT CAME
One day I was in class and I was doing a test and I needed to go to the bathroom. My teacher Ms. Rite said I could. I walked into the hallway and there was some guy standing at the end of the hallway in ripped up clothes. “Hello..?” I mumbled. the lights flickered and then he was gone. I ran to the bathroom feeling scared. When I got into the bathroom, I could see the night black shoes of someone in one of the stalls. I suspected it was someone I knew, but it wasn’t. It was the guy from the hallway! He had red eyes and a black mask. I ran out of the bathroom and he started to chase me. He disappeared right when he caught up to me. I sighed in relief and walked into the classroom. Everybody was gone! I checked the clock and it was 1:06 AM! I stepped out of the classroom and headed downstairs to exit the building, but the exit was blocked by bricks. All of them had bricks in front of them! I looked at the reflection on the glass doors. Behind me there was a shadowy figure. I looked back and there was no one there. I looked at the door and he was holding up a knife. I looked behind me and he was gone again. I went into the main office to call home. When they picked up I heard some heavy breathing and then they hung up. I saw the guy walk near the office, so I quickly locked the door. I looked on the security cameras and I saw the guy trying to open to doors to the main office. The camera buffered and he was gone. I thought he was gone for good. I looked behind me and THERE HE WAS! “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” I screamed. He cut me really bad on my arm with his knife. And then…………………………. I woke up. I was in my twin bed and the birds tweeted happily. I was glad I wasn’t hurt. Right then my right arm started to hurt really bad. I looked at it and there was the cut from my dream! I shrieked in horror and ran downstairs, but… I didn’t. The stairs weren't there. I slammed into a wall and I fell to the ground. I decided to go back to my room but I slammed into another wall. I felt boxed in. The floor opened up and below me were chainsaws, and I was about to fall into them…

PART OF THE CREATION
Believe in yourself
And all that you do.
Here are things you’ll create
That can only come from you.
The way you see the world
May be a source of your inspiration
But the way you interact with it,
Makes you part of the creation!
