In my freshmen year of high school I tried to be a rapper, because my cousin was also trying to become one. It didn’t turn out too well, I’m just glad I didn’t decide to show anyone any of the stuff I wrote. After that I wanted to be a so called “band kid.” I actually really liked learning to play music.

The bedrock powerpoint was made to enhance our knowledge on how children learn and become who they are, whether they make the good choices in life, or bad ones.
