today i read my poem and combined it and the song together and it came out really good. my boyfriend also came and he really like it . im kinda bummed out because we did not have enough time for the video.i did not want a video. im shy  but i love her thats worth it. today was a good day……………

Today we worked on re-writing a  poem i started and turned it into something entirely different . it was about the first time me and my boyfriend were together and all the drama that came with the months we have been together.

These are some quotes Shemona likes that she wants to include in her video:

if you dont like me,someone else will,if your not missing me someone else is.if your dont love me someone else will.  (-drake)

you cant lose what you never had,you cant keep whats not yours, and you cant hold onto something that does not want to stay. (-drake)

you said i love you and i said it too. the only difference is i dont lie to you (-drake)

dont be flattered that he misses you, he should miss you however, he’s still the same person who broke your heart remember,the only reason he can miss you is because he’s choosing everyday not to be with you. (-drake)

i got a small circle circle ,i’m not with different crews. we walk on the same path but we got on different shoes.(-drake)

i just kinda do what i feel. i never knew what lane i would fill. i didnt even really contemplate that far down the road. i just started having fun.once i put that into perspective it was like everything just got easier for me,because i no longer wanted to fit in anybody’s box. i just wanted to be shemona (-nicki minaji)

a woman has the last word in any argument, anything a man says starts a new argument (-nicki minaji)

Hi this is the 4th time i have been here and so far my project is going really well.

this song that i will be singing …well lets just hope it goes good. i hope that when you guys

here my poem and the song that my perspective of you guys being the kids in the program

who knows me changes so you can think of me being more than a MEAN and OBNOXIOUS

person, because i really do have  heart.

Today i talked about doing one of mary j. bliges song ( my life) to kind of express my poem  and how it relates to my life and what im tryin to explain is that some things are never easy for me no matter how i may seem. (-Shemona)

In her video, Shemona wants to sing parts of the Mary J Blige song and then rap parts of the poem she wrote. Both the song and the poem have similar themes and she thinks the song really expresses what she wants to say. Then we are going to choose pictures and quotes to put in the background of the video. I think it’s awesome that she feels inspired by the song and wants to combine music with the poem she wrote. (-Rachel)

This week Shemona wrote a rap about her life. She typed it up and emailed it to herself and to Rachel so we would both have copies. We also started choosing pictures for Shemona to put into her music video. They are pictures of herself, rap stars that she likes, and quotes that inspire her. Next week we will work on editing the rap lyrics and continuing to put the video together.
