ERHS Film Club Election

I am currently running for the Ernest Righetti High School Film Club president. I was thinking about going for the Vice President, but then I thought "Might as well go all the way, or not at all." The thing is that I am running up against a classmate of mine named Evan Vega, and I really doubt that I will win in the election against him. Yet anything can happen, so if I don't become the Film Club President then I won't be too worried about it because I will know that I tried my best and that is what counts!

The Plan for My Masterpiece

I am going to do a short video for my Masterpiece project that which talks a little bit about my life and a lot about my interests. The two interests of mine that I will be talking about in my Masterpiece Video are Film making/Cinematography and Music. Sounds a little funny how I am making a Video about making Videos/Films, but some may think that it's creative.. At least I do, haha. So I hope that I can entertain my audience with my Masterpiece Video. Till next time!

My "Dream"


Key: 
a = alternative


I have a couple of different plans for when I graduate High school:

1) I plan to become a Cinematographer, Film Editor, Director, or Producer in the Film Industry. It would be a dream come true because I love Cinematography. I love Film Editing the most. Editing takes a lot of time, because you have many different cuts before you finish/perfect the final product. I am currently in a High School level Advanced Film class and I plan to take it further.

1a) If I don't make it to the Film industry then I could become a Cinematography teacher.

2) Another plan of mine is to go into the Music Industry. I love to play music and sing, I feel a deep connection between myself and the instruments that I play. I currently play the Ukulele and the Guitar, I have been playing the Ukulele since I was in the 4th grade but I barely started playing Guitar the start of this school year. I have taught myself both instruments, but I was given Ukulele lessons during my 6th grade and half of my 7th grade year. I am currently in a songwriting class and I have written two songs so far. I have written songs before but I have forgotten them along the way. I like to think of songs like pancakes (and unless you are a professional), the first ones aren't so good. My dream to join the Music Industry is 1st in my heart but I keep it in the back of my mind. It's a plan B in case I don't make it to the Music Industry one day, because I can always play music on the side with friends and family.

2a) If I don't make it to the Film or Music Industry then I plan to become either a stringed-instrument teacher or a songwriting/music production teacher.

3) If neither one of those plans work out then I could start small by working in a Hotel or Fast Food Restaurant and work my way up and maybe become owner/manager one day. Or I could become a construction worker because they make a good amount of money.

One thing for sure (unless I am noticed by the Music or Film industry) I plan on moving back home to Hawai'i after I graduate.

Poetry

What I decided to post as "poetry" are lyrics to a song that I know:
You may go, I'll let you go, may god bless you
You'll be mine, wherever you may be
It's a warning, to say Aloha
'cause you'll never find another Hawaiian like me
Oh no you'll never find another Hawaiian like me
You may go, I'll let you go, may god bless you
You'll be mine, wherever you may be
It's a warning, to say Aloha
'cause you'll never find another Hawaiian like me
Oh no you'll never find another Kane'ka like me
Oh no you'll never find another people like us

The actual song: Hawaiian Like me - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
