Re-Introduction

 My name is Rashawn Granderson, I am 16 years old and I am a Junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. Not to many things have changed since I wrote my first introduction blog, I am still very shy when it comes to socializing, which make it hard for me to relate with people but I do have a habit of still getting along with most people I met, despite not being relatable. Here are some new things about me that I didn't mention in my first introduction blog.

I love watching anime, Dragon Ball Z and Attack on Titan being my favorites; I enjoy watching horrible shows and movies and playing horrible games to learn what mistakes not to make when making my own media. I love to spend time with my close friends from Elementary School, Sebastian and David, as they are (in my opinion) the coolest and most fun people I know.

I recently been making up ideas on short films and mini comedy series that me and my friends can do and post online. One idea I had was to make a show like The Office, 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation, a mockumentary comedy taken place in a school with the main character is either the principal or teacher. The main difference is that even the camera crew are characters as well as they are film students at the school. It is similar to the one mentioned in the first blog, but I've decided to a dead-pan comedic but serious series.

My family watched my commercial project and were amazed at what me and my group have made. My family knows how much I love to edit videos, and they mention how this is one if my most professional looking and clean videos I've made. My mom recommended me to go to schooling for visual art and video editing and get a degree in those classes, while my dad mentions how he sees so much potential of my skills and the amount of creativity I have is outstanding. My younger sister Jada watched the video as well and was the most surprised of all the people who watched the video. She wouldn't stop begging me to make more videos like these so she can share to her friends and brag about how talented of a brother she has, which made me laugh, especially at the fact that she is the type of person to do that.

I also am doing my best to distance myself from social media, as I feel like it is somewhat corruption to someone's self worth and self-esteem. I've seen people degrade themselves for clicks on TikTok and people crying over losing a few followers, and I don't want to fall into that rabbit whole. I have self control and somewhat of respect for myself to know not to be like that, but I feel like social media as a whole is just a toxic waste land waiting for me to enter it and be infected by it as well. I don't post much, to sometimes nothing at all for months, because I am disconnected from the idea of social fame from Instagram and TikTok. YouTube fame is a different story for me but all the other sites is a straight no, unless I am promoting something or talking to friends.

In short, I don't feel like I've changed since then besides my editing skills improving, but a lot has happened in the time in-between and I'm looking forward to what more things are happening in the future.
