Who am I?

I am Adan Ortega, I am 2Spiff, I am Axel, I am whatever you want to call me. I am a 17 year-old high school senior attending Laton High school. As well as a member of the MyLife project here at Laton. In this project, we will find ways to combine our personal interests with our class curriculums to come up with great projects that benefit not only us, but our community as well. And personally, it's going to be tough for me to combine my interests with my class curriculums. . . Primarily because of the fact that I love writing, and more importantly rapping. When people hear that I love to rap, I get these confused and disbelieving looks. I mean, when does a kid from a community of a thousand people or so hit the big time? Is that even possible? Honestly, no one knows. But to me, it will happen, I will make it, and I will build my life around my passion to rap, just like others will build it around their passion to weld, or skate, or sing, or make videos. Why? Because these things happen. Because it is my plan to be legendary, and to be phenomenal. I might not be great at football, basketball, school, or anything else, but I will be phenomenal at rapping. I'll be more than just a rapper too, I'll be an artist, a musician, a producer, and I will be legendary at it, and I will take flight. #TakeFlight #TheseThingsHappen #Legendary
