STAN CHAMBER JOURNALISM AWARD: "What Matter's Most"

“Strangers Like Me”

I want to know “Strangers Like Me”. As odd as that sounds it’s what matters most to me. When I mean “Strangers Like Me”, I am referring to people. Though we all seem different, we all have the same fears, aspirations, and obstacles to go through to get what we want. I enjoy trying to find out the core of a person and how they work. Knowing matters most to me because though we may all portray a certain personality, that might not be who we really are. If you look at a girl who was always laughing and has a smile on her face, you wouldn’t know that her grandparents, and friend have past away all in a one month period. People think it’s best to let them deal with it on their own but you always think that someone will care enough to ask. You just never know.

Wings for Wheels: The Making of Born to Run

This video clip is about Bruce Springsteen and his band from when they were young trying to create a new sound. And they did that, making his band famous in the 70's. You see how the making of the album Born to Run really happened. And how it was everything but easy and fast. If you listen to his songs and really paid attention to the beats, it's as if he created a new instrument by putting and orchestra on the track with his special guitar, amazing drummers and etc... When he creates a song, the person listening to it will know how much work he put into it which is more than it would for a today singer to create an entire album. He has the ear that picks the littlest things to change but in the end make a huge difference. I will attempt to try to make my video show show the minor details that make a huge difference.

Personal Narrative- Poetic Lcense: Seeing The World Through Multiple Lenses - My LA

Word Count :211

Los Angeles is unseen from my eyes. Though I live in Los Angeles all my life. I haven’t really seen that much of it. The main places I go to are Granada Hills, Northridge, Porter Ranch and the Topanga Mall. When I go outside I see the San Fernando Valley Suburbia. We are far enough from the city to be able to see the thick layer of pollution but close enough to escape suburbia. Los Angeles is a place of Adults not kids. It’s where the celebrities go out and party till 2’ in the morning just because they can. And where the show “The Hills” takes place. I also know it as the place where all the music hear on the radio is made and movie I watch are created. If you don’t have a car that means you have no life. And that’s my situation, I can sometimes go around in a car but I now mainly take the bus. I feel trapped in this valley I call my home. It may be safe to around at night but sometimes it’s just too quiet. Los Angeles doesn’t really know me that much, and I don’t really know L.A. My relationship with L.A is strictly for Home, School, and the Doctors.
