  Hello Cambridge Finn is back with a new blog. Today I'll discuss the people I'll be working with and why for my music video. Additionally. I'll talk about the song we chose and the inspiration for it. I will be collaborating on my project alongside Renato, Connor, and Isahiah. Each member was selected for a different reason. Due to his wit, Renato seemed like he would be an excellent addition to our group. His quick wit and sense of humor may be a huge asset when creating our music video scenarios, and if necessary, he can improvise to make the film still look enjoyable. Due to his creativity, Conner would also be a fantastic complement to our team. It definitely can help our story when Conner is able to think creatively and come up with suggestions.

  Hey Cambridge I'm back for my Commercial. I had an amazing and productive time with my Commerical. Now I'm going to be working on my music video. Let me tell you a little about my origin. I was born February 20th 2008 and I was born in Imperial Point hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. That makes me fifteen years old. I have a decently sized family. I have a Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister and Dog. I am the oldest child that makes me the role model in the family. I started my academic career at Virginia Shuman Young Elementary. Then I went to Sunrise Middle school and now I attend Fort Lauderdale High School. During these years of school I played many sports. For example, I started off playing soccer and baseball at a young age. I later set focus to just baseball and I have been playing for ten years. Baseball has been my passion for so long because it helps me exercise while having fun. I also like baseball because I can practice with my dad. For example, I wakeup at 5am every m
