This personal essay on hip-hop showed what it was like when it first became popular, and not the music and style we know today. This selection shows how hip-hop changed the culture and lives of young adults. It also showed what the author wanted young adults to think about and do in their lives, and how these thoughts and actions affected her. I learned that hip-hop wasn't always the way it is today, and that it affected teens much more than I thought before.

My name is Shannon, and I live in North Carolina with my family. I love to read and write practically anything fiction(although this is not). This is entirely for my English class. I love cats, horses, and sometimes, dogs. I have two of my own. I'm only in 9th grade at the moment. I have two brothers, no sisters though. I'm a romantic, although I haven't started dating yet. I hate running, though I've played soccer for almost 10 years. Ironic, right? I'm smart, stubborn, not exactly pretty, emotional, and sometimes serious, sometimes funny. I like making people laugh and relating to people, although I don't always do it to often. I like figuring things out by myself, although I can ask for help if needed. I like hearing when someone likes something I've done. Is that bad? I'm Christian, and I sing in my church's band. I was born on Friday, October the 13th and so was my dad, so... hope your not superstitious!!
