Spotlight on: Ezzera Raney

          Ezzera is a 16 year old student who attends Legacy High School and is very musically inclined. His favorite band is The Beatles while his favorite songs include Strawberry Fields Forever, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Scar Tissue. He plays a variety of instruments including the piano, the guitar, and the stand up/electric bass. When asked what some of his other favorite things are, he had said that purple is his favorite color and The Princess Bride is his favorite movie. His favorite book genre is science fiction and The Lord of the Rings is his favorite book series.

           I got to sit down with Ezzera yesterday an attempt to get to know him on a personal level by interviewing him.

          This is what our conversation consisted of:

Me: What's your home life like?
Ezzera: Confusing, there's lots of arguments. A lot of shit goes on.

Me: What do you want to do for a career?
Ezzera: I want to be a musician or be involved in arts in general. Maybe acting or performing.

Me: What's your favorite activity outside of school?
Ezzera: Honestly, watching Netflix.

Me: Who inspires you the most? Why?
Ezzera: No one in particular, maybe Paul McCartney because he's a bad-ass.

Me: What did you want to be when you were little?
Ezzera: An Astronaut.

Me: Who is your hero? Why?
Ezzera: Batman because he's just a normal guy who does amazing things. He doesn't have any superpowers.

Me: How do you see yourself as a person?
Ezzera: I guess I'm a little weird and different. I'm very non-judgmental. And I'm not really athletic.

Me: How do you think other people view you?
Ezzera: I think other people see me as weird or creepy. Or nice, but still weird.

          So from what I've come to understand, Ezzera Raney is a quirky kid who can't get enough of The Beatles and aspires to be a musician. Anyone would be lucky to have just a few minutes, as I did, to hear from his perspective and laugh in his presence.
