To get ahead in today’s world, students have to be more involved in a variety of activities. Peyton Sanders, sophomore, is ahead of his peers since it seems there is nothing he cannot do.

Peyton Sanders, sophomore, controls his own moves, literally and figuratively. Sanders started break dancing four years ago, loves dancing and showing off his talent. Sanders spends his time on YouTube editing his videos. From break dancing to remix videos to his advice videos on Saturday nights, Sanders has over 70,000 views on YouTube.

After showing off his dance moves on YouTube, Sanders tried something a little different. He tried rapping. By making up his own songs and recording them on YouTube, Sanders wants to get a feel of what other people think. Sanders got feedback, and a lot of it.

"I am very YouTube friendly, I like to make up my own rap songs and post them," Sanders said.

Sharing his videos on YouTube gives Sanders a chance to record a rap song with a recording studio, Don’t Sleep Records. The dancing and rapping experience inspired Sanders to start writing his own book, No Place To Fall.

Sanders helps students on Facebook by updating his status about relationship help. One particular status was liked by 87 people.

"I like to help people. This is what is on my mind and I love doing it. This is why I have my own advice videos about relationships and problems on Ustream and Tumblr," Sanders said.

Sanders is interested in acting, modeling, photography and dancing.

"I like to use whatever I have; It gives me a bigger opportunity to shine and get noticed," Sanders said.

Sanders wants to get into the recording industry, but his parents are strict with the terms and conditions.

"My parents have not really sucked it in yet. They think that something big might happen from this recording experience I am doing August 29, 2011 in downtown Atlanta," Sanders said.

In addition to his active dance life, Sanders works out with p90x. P90x is a workout that claims to significantly improve physical fitness in 90 days through a rigorous, segmented training program combined with a nutrition and dietary supplement plan according to Better Body Journal, an online website about p90x.

Sanders already had everything he needed. Since he has started working out, Sanders has gained 5 pounds of muscle and his body fat has decreased from 11.5 percent to 8.7 percent in less than three weeks.

Not only is Sanders working out to his schedule, but he also follows the meal plan. Sanders started working out with p90x in December and is more than halfway through his program of the workout for his 90 days.

Sanders not only inspires himself by being the best he can be and trying his hardest, but he also inspires his peers.
"Peyton is one of my best friends. I have known him for a while now and he knows what he wants in life and works to achieve his goals," Kayleigh Perlotto, sophomore, said.
