Hip Hop Life

This story from DeSean Robinson Walker was really touching. Growing up with hip hop music, whether it be listening to it or actually creating the beats himself, Desean fell in love with the music. His goal was to send messages to those who lived in poverty or were troubled in some other similar way. I appreciated how he could see past all the new trends- the stereotypical clothes that define 'hip hop', to the person behind all of it. DeSean works hard to touch the hearts of others and gives them something to hold onto- his music.

Entertainment

I think that entertainment is actually a distraction that can be good or bad. Stress is something that everyone experiences every day or even every night. A lot of times, people are not really sure how to cope with it- so they turn to entertainment as a distraction. For me, when I'm feeling stressed out or anxious, I find distraction in entertainment by blasting country music or going to the gym or maybe watching a movie. However, entertainment can also pose as a bad distraction. Video games can cause distractions from completing homework assignments or studying for an exam. Television shows or magazines can cause distractions for a babysitter, for example, and keep us from doing everyday necessary activities like sleeping.
