Sheyenne’s Blog Post #2

Being in different classes with the same students all the time, you would think that you knew everything there was to  know about them. However, after reading everyone in block’s post, I found that I really didn’t know them very well and there is so much more to them than what meets the eye. Everyone surpassed what I expected of them, except for Kierra. That is only because I spend the most time with her though. We have a lot in common and I feel like her playlist emphasized our similarity. She is an avid R&B and hip-hop listener, as am I. However, I can appreciate the other musical tastes posted on the blog. Jacob’s playlist was especially intriguing to me. He shares a love for many different genres of music. I too have a very versatile musical taste. The Rolling Stones song “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” and ASAP Rocky’s “Goldie” are two songs that I am very fond of myself. When I look at Jacob he seems very chill and white-collared so I was surprised to find that his musical interests including rap. Shaloma’s slideshow also touched me and was very relateable, especially when she had the picture with her and her mother. Just like Shaloma experienced, my mother and I were also not as close when I was younger. But as I have matured and grew more accepting and understanding of her ways, I understand that she just has my best interest at heart. I’m sure this is the same for Shaloma’s mother. Reading the blog posts really gave me a better understanding on my classmates, and helped me realize there is more depth to everyone than what they show on the surface. I can appreciate how deep people were, and how willing they were to reveal themselves. Though they had limitations, they succeeded in revealing parts of their life that they would not normally reveal on a daily basis.
