How Drakes Keeps Changing the Music Game

  When I began thinking about themes for my magazine, I thought what's something people actually like and, then I thought well why not write about Drake. He’s not just a rapper and singer, he’s an icon who many people aspire to be more like, influences music. Choosing him as my theme felt natural because he connects with so many people, especially teens , and there’s a lot of places the magazine can go. Drake’s career is full of inspiration. From his early days on Degrassi (a Canadian teen drama) to becoming a globally recognized musician, he shows growth, creativity, and adaptability qualities . I can include features about his music, his style evolution, his upcoming album, and even how he uses social media to engage with fans.

      Hello, my name is Sophia Elena Salomon , and I go to Pembroke Pines Charter High School . I’ve been in the charter school system since kindergarten because my mom teaches at Central Campus Elementary. School has always been a big part of my life, not just because of academics, but also because of the community it has built for me and my family. At home, I live with my mom, dad, two brothers, and my grandparents. My family is very close, and my brothers play a big role in my everyday life. My youngest brother is turning four in January, and my other brother just turned 13 in March. Since I’m the oldest, I’ve grown up with the responsibility of setting an example for them, but also with plenty of competition, especially with my 13-year-old brother. Being only a year and a half apart has made us push each other in almost everything we do, which is one of the main reasons why I’m so into sports today. Sports have been huge part of my life and have honestly molded me in...
