The person I chose for my project was Cole Sundt. The reason I chose him for my project was because of my close relationship with his dad. During football season I was very close to Coach Sundt and would always talk to him before and after practice. My family grew up knowing his family but I wasn't close with Cole really. It wasn’t up until football that me and Cole started to talk a little. I have always kind of knew him in a sense that i see him hanging with my cousins but I've never been close with him. I choose Cole because I feel like i can connect with him very well considering we have a lot of mutual friends and i have a lot of family members close with him and his family. This made me want to choose him as my person for the project.
Me and Cole did many activities together. One of them was going on

Another thing that me and Cole did for an activity was we played a lot of Fortnite which we got very good at. Me and Cole also went to dinner which we had very long good conversations about his family and baseball. We spent about a lot of time just talking about life and problems with him. After talking to him I got to know him closer on a personal note. Most of the stuff we talked about was confidential so I’m not going to go into detail but we talked about an issue he had with a person and what he should do about it and came to a conclusion to help with him and that person. This activity helped us achieve my goal by getting to know him more and what I’m going to be talking with him about him in future encounters. We spent about 1 hour hanging out then we met up with friends. I choose to introduce him to my friends so that we can get closer with each other's friends. I want to make sure that he has other influences in his life that are good that he looks up to. We had a fun time and we now are able to hang out with each others friends. I Although he was not running for a sport he liked the fact that it was helping him get better for

Hip-hop music is my favorite genre of music because the way I grew up I can relate to a lot of the things it portrays. I also enjoy R&B and gospel music because it is what listened to as a child. Some hip-hop artist I enjoy are Fabulous, Andre 3000 and T.I. because a lot of their music tells a story and gives life lessons. J Cole is my favorite hip-hop artist because he makes great music, he is a philanthropist and he uses his platform to speak and act on social issues.
I am a runner. I was selected to be a cross country captain for my senior year and I had set myself a realistic goal of being one of the top five finishers at the state meet in the fall. I never had the thought that I could not do it; I knew I was going to be up there with the best. When the state meet came and I traveled with the team as captain, that race became one of the most memorable of my cross country career but not for the reasons I expected.
The time was around 10:30 and my eyelids felt as heavy as a brick to keep open. I was just about to shut everything down for the night, when the loud sound of a snapchat notification startled me awake. I looked at the blaring screen of my phone in the dark, to see it was from my friend Jordan. Flirting with each other was our thing, but nothing more. At the end of everything, he's a junior and I'm a freshman, he still wants me to grow up a little bit. I opened up
One person in history I would like to have a conversation with is Jamie Lloyd Whitten. This summer I had my mind set on finding more information on my family history. While asking family members and researching on Ancestry, I came across Mr. Whitten. With a simple name search all kinds of articles came up about him. He served in the House for fifty-three years for the state of Mississippi. This is the fifth longest term served in the House in United States history. Whitten has also experienced many different time periods during his life. Between the ages of four and eight he lived through World War One. I would love to ask him questions of what it was like to live through everything. Did his father serve in the army? Did his family have to ration? When he was nineteen
Our nation is teeming with thousands of various music genres, each with their own unique flare.

I am grateful to have Derick as my sponsor. Upon first meeting him he seemed like a really chill person that I could easily get along with. After my pinning was over, he drove me to Happy Lemon for the fundraiser and we talked about many different things like our taste in music. He is also always checking up on me to make sure I do not forget things like my money order and my pin, which is something I am very grateful for. Derick told me about how his sponsor, Justin, took him to Johnny Rockets, so I decided to go there for our outing. During our outing, he help me understand more about the workings of Alpha Phi Omega. He even shared with me his own pledging experience which made me feel a lot better about my own situation. He shared with me
Even though he was a parent of a girl on the team, he had coached for a couple high school teams. He knew the sport really well and was a good coach. There were so many people that wanted to play that they made two teams. Even though I was on the second team, I was happy because he made my very close friend and me captains. He told us that he wanted to put us on that team because he wanted us to get a lot of playing time and he could not promise us that on the other team. I learned a lot and finally had a good season of volleyball. We won some and lost some, but we had a good time.

I was afraid that he wouldn’t welcome this change in his routine that I was bringing, but he was extremely warm and polite; he had the amiable personality that makes anyone feel as though they could easily open up to him. As we start conversing, it is almost as if he wanted someone to come and talk with him.
Before I left his house I asked him if he had wanted a ride to graduation, due to the fact he was in a car accident four days prior and the only vehicle he had at the moment was his motorcycle. He responded with a polite, "Nah." That's when I knew he wanted to take his bike. When I got home I quickly got ready, I ironed my cap and gown, did my make-up and hair, and made my last phone call to Andrew. I called him right before I left and asked him if he was sure he did not want a ride.
