Meet Aaron Quillopo

               My name is Aaron Quillopo and this is my blog. As you can see, the title of my blog is "Writing the Unwritten". This title is to help and encourage me when writing, it tells me to not write what others write but to make my writing original and unique. I try not to write like everyone else, but to write with a purpose, to write like no other. Not only do I try to show originality through my title but also thought my whole blog. My blog does not use any of the Blogger templates. It's layout shows a little more about who I am and also shows what my skills and hobbies that I have. That way people don't have to read my essays to get to know me, they can just open my blog and scroll down.

              The world I come from is like a half finished painting. In my life I know who I am but also don't know. The things I know about who I am are: that I am a people person and that I love to put my self out there. I also love to try new things and activities. One of the newest things I'm in is Colorguard, it is a real challenge for me because we have to condition and it has to deal with a lot of physical endurance. Practices some times stretch from 5 hours to 12 hours. Other things I like that include physical endurance that I like is volleyball and track. Even if I only started in 7th grade and not in a club, volleyball has always put me in a better mood than what I was in before. It has offered me more friends and it is now something that I love to do. On the other hand, track has always been a more competitive sport for me. I've been in track from elementary and have loved it ever since. The fastest I have ever ran 100m is in 9.68 seconds and the farthest I have every jumped is 12 feet (7 feet without running).

             Aside from sports, I also like to read. I don't particularly have a favorite book because I've read so many. However, I do have a favorite genre and that is teen books of course. Teen books can range from books like The Fault in Our Stars to The Maze Runner. Last summer I read 21 books for fun. When I was reading those books I realized that reading gives me a chance to escape to wherever my mind takes me. Weather it's living in an apocalypse or experiencing Hazel and Augustus's love story, reading will always be a door to my imagination. Another one of my hobbies is photography. Although I don't have the best pictures, I plan to become better in the future. I am currently taking photography as one of my electives. Photography to me is capturing the moments in life that are important to you, the moments that make you look back and wish you were there all over again.

             Me as a person, I am simple, but complex. Loud, but quiet. Playful, but serious. I know how to act when it is needed and when it is also not needed. When school work comes around I put lots of effort and thought into the work I do and I try my best to do them with excellence. When it comes to friends, I admire friends who know me well and who I know well too.  I try not to be a "band wagoner" or a person who likes things only cause it's popular or the "in thing". I like to find upcoming songs before anyone else and if I'm lucky it doesn't become a popular song and it gets to be my own little song that only I know about. The kind of music I like are electronic bands like M83. And bands like bands like Twenty One Pilots . Occasionally I'll listen to radio music or "top charts" songs, but not very often. Most of the time I'm a care free guy with a sense of humor. I'm also the kind of person that might see everything different from everyone else. I am an Extrovert which means I am out going and I like to put myself out there, I'm not shy or timid, but broad and friendly. 

             You may think that I know myself and exactly who I am, but some things are still "under construction". Like what I want to be when I grow up or what college I want to go to. Although those things are far away, I would like to start planing for them now. I also don't know what my favorite movie is, why I like pickles, who dislikes me, who does like me, or who I'll end up with in life. Some of these things are way in the future and some a little weird. I may not know what life has in store for me but I'm a go with the flow kind of guy so for now, I'll just go with the flow.
