I will learn how to play the piano. 

I will learn every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for about an hour to two hours a day.

I will use a piano and a friend who knows how to play the piano already.

This shape of this song influences the effectiveness of Nipsey Hussles story because he talks about his life in this song and how he got to success.

He starts off saying how he's been grinding all his life and making sacrifices, which may have been a very low time for him in life just trying to come up. He then goes on to talk about how he married the game and that's what he is fully committed to. When he says he's married to the game he is referring to the music industry, as this was a turning point in his life because he's finally rising up.

After that he hits a more stable part of life as he is already succesful he says "Successful street n**** touchin' his first mil." He finally made it and is at a pont in life where he could also say so.

The last thing he does in the song is reflect on his life from a succesfful point of view. He say "Look, I got everythin' I said I was gon' get on my kid, In addition to the fact I went legit." At this point he's talking about how he's finally at the top and accomplished his dreams he had as a kid, all while doing it legally.

The shape of this story really goes from low to high and influences the effectiveness of the song a lot.

One of my best memories growing up was waking up on the weekend really early and playing outside with my childhood friends all day. I always tend to reminisce on these times because I wonder how I ever had so much energy to be outside 8 plus hours without eating and not caring if I did or not, to now where it feels like I cant get through a class without starving. 

I feel like everybody had a similar childhood, just with different friends and different neighborhoods. Am I wrong? Im pretty sure everybody grew up playing manhunt, tag, two hand touch, kill the carrier, etc., and we all ha dour pointless dramas, but the next day were all still bestfriends. This is how the cycle continues day after day, until we all grow up and drift apart...sadly.

I believe I do have a good identity as a learner. I wouldn't say that i'm perfect, but one thing I could say about myself is that I try. I know with effort, discipline, and focus you could learn anything you want. 

Growing up and still to this day I've always liked school because it was something that always made me proud. I hate waking up early tho, but its the love hate relationship. It just makes me feel good to learn more, complete work, and get good grades. 

I am a visual learner. I recently found this out after doing good on a map quiz and my professor asked how I studied, and she told me I was a visual learner. Knowing that made me more excited for whats to come because I picked up lots of good study tips/tricks for visual learners.
