   Hello, it's me Renato Corrales back with another blog. Today I will be talking about people I will be working for my music video and why. Additionally, I will be telling about the song we picked out and the reason behind it. For my project, I will be working with three people, Finn, Conner, and Isahiah. There were different reasons why each member was chosen. Finn, I thought we would be a good addition to our group due to his wittiness. His quick thinking and sense of humor can really help in making our music video scenes, and if needed, improvise on what needs to be done to make the music video still look entertaining. For Conner, he would also be a great asset to our group due to his creativity. Conner's ability to think outside the box and come up with ideas really can aid our storyline. Conner can bring fresh perspectives and originality to our project helping our project look the best it can be. For Isaiah, he would be a big contribution to our group due to his technol...

  Hello, I'm back with another blog for my brand-new project. My name is Renato Corrales and I attend Fort Lauderdale High. I was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I live with my family, my mom, dad, and one brother. From early on, I always had a love for math. It became a significant part of my life and I hope to pursue it. Education has always been a priority for me, and I hope to go to Oxford University. Talking about academics, my academic journey first started at Bayview Elementary. I have great memories there and where I learned so much. I then went to Sunrise Middle, where I met most of the friends I have made today. And finally, I'm at Fort Lauderdale High School, where I'm a sophomore. Also from a young age, I have done swimming. Swimming was a sport I wasn't so committed to at first, but it ended up being the sport I do 24/7. I do practice before school and till late after school, so it is something that has become a part of my life. Swimming has al...
