**Hello!!!!! My name is Hillary Ross, but just call me Logan. I am high school Senior at Cass Technical High School. I came back for another year at MSU because last summer was just too awesome!!!! The people i met were amazing, the things i learned were terrific and the connections i made i know will last for ever. A totally random fun fact about me is that i love Rock music!!!!! My favorite song at the moment is "Almost told you that i loved you" Papa Roach. (lol) The thing i want to learn from this class is how to use even more media concepts and more technology in general. Last year, i learned skills that just my mind, and wanted another round. (lol) **  To me, hip hop is a type of cultural and lifestyle. Hip hop convey a very strong message. Hip hop is a very deep rooted form of art in the African American community, but has rooted out world wide and have made a huge impact on just about everyone. Even though i do not listen to hip hop, hip hop and rock music have a common foreground and that is to inform the people. no matter the subject. From Green Day "the Saints are coming" to Queen Latifia "Ladies First" hip hop is a form of art form that i feel the most respect for. My reason for not listening to hip hop is because of the commercial hip hop. I still enjoy the conscious lyrics of Nas, KRS one, Common Sense, and Public Enemy, but modern hip hop have lost its original substance and intelligence. I refuse to listen to Commercial hip hop.
 * __What does hip hop mean to me?__

__What does it mean to me to be a global citizen?__ Being a global is one the most important things and everyone should want to become one. a global citizen is a person that is not only part of their community, but realize on the larger scale, the world. Global citizens realize that they have a global responsibility to the world. Being a global citizen is very important to me. The world is bigger than black and white and any human being deserves a helping hand, no matter who they are. Being a global citizen is my unlawful duty and i plan on fulfilling every bit of it. I am not only a United States citizen,i am more importantly a global citizen. As a global citizen ,it is important i help out the bigger community and help represent every single ideas that make up this world.**
