Life was Transformed by Love
One day i met a guy, his name was Diego, he was 17 years old. Diego had a lot of problems with his family because he was a gang member and he was addicted to drugs. he started doing that since the age of 14 years old when his father died in a shooting. Since that time he got really angry, but he also was sad because he loved his dad and it is really hard to lose someone special in life. Since that time he felt lonely and started acting different. He joined a gang and got addicted to drugs. He started doing drugs and stealing things from people. but then he met a girl and he fell in love with her. Her name was Maricela and she was Christian. she started talking to him about God but he never listened to her. until one day that i got shoot in the chest. he went straight to the hospital and almost die. But Got saved his life and since that time he felt love for God and God changed his life because he started going to church and got together with Maricela and he forgive the guys who had killed his father. and thats how life was transformed by love.
Christmas Break
I had a wonderful Christmas break because i did a lot of different things. the first week of my Christmas break was boring because i didn't do anything, i was just at home. I thought i was not going to do anything for Christmas. but then my family changed my mind. My mom told me that we were going to San Diego to visit my aunt for Christmas. So i got exited because i have a lot of cousins over there, and i always have good times with them, so i decided to buy stuff for them. I bought a gift to each of them. I also bought cloth for me. The second week, i had everything ready, i was exited because i was going to see my family in San Diego. When we arrived to San Diego my aunt was happy to see us again.
I like to visit my aunt because she has a huge house, and every time i go there, she gives me my own room. I like that room because its really big. When we arrived to her house she gave me the same room that i like. u put all my stuff in the closet. Then i took a shower because i was so tired. Later on, all my cousins arrived and they got happy when they saw me because they haven't seen me since long time ago. The first thing that we did was to go shopping to the mall. and at the mall we bought a lot things. Actually they did because i didn't have enough money to spend because i had already bought stuff at the mall a day before. then we went back to the house and we ordered pizza, and we watched some movies, and we played video games.
Two days after my aunt and my mom were planning what to cook for Christmas. while they went shopping my cousins and i were at the house, we were really bored, so they decide to make a party and they invited a lot of friends to the house. I was so exited because i knew it was going to be a great day. When their friends arrived, my cousin introduced me with them, and i met one of his friends name Tracy, she was a nice girl and we spent a good time eating pizza, then we went to the pool and we had the music loud. Moreover they left and we had to clean everything up before my mom and my aunt get home.
Moreover my cousin manager found an event for us to sing. so he called my cousin and he told us to be ready a day before Christmas if we wanted to sing at the event. so mu cousin wanted to make a song for his girlfriend and he asked me if i wanted to come out in his song. so we went to the studio and started working on the song.
That is what i did in my Christmas break. it was a great Christmas break for me because i spent it with my cousins. I will never forget that day. Hopefully i am going with my family next year so i can see them again.

Expository Essay
Teenagers getting involved in their community teenagers, in my opinion should get more involved in their community. there are many ways a teen can get involved. You can have a great experience and also make a difference. You can let people know your opinion.
One way, we as teen can get involved in our community is by volunteering. You can volunteer by helping others. When you think about it, reading is one of the most important skills an adult can have. Many adults, however, have never learned how to read. Literacy volunteers act as tutors who help illiterate children and adults learn this important skill. There is a probably a literacy program in your area. and it will be a good way to help the community.
Another way we can get involved in is by volunteering in hospitals. Many hospitals have volunteer programs to help patients both inside and outside the hospital. The Summit Medical Center is typical. The volunteers programs allow participants to explore medical careers and gain work experience.
Volunteering in political campaigns is another way to get involved in the community. Also, you can get involved in politics. You can do this when its and election day. There are thousands of opportunities to volunteer in political campaigns around the country.

final essay
I'm taking British Literature. this is a good class because my teacher is so nice with us. she wants us to improve in our life and graduate from high school. this class is a little bit easy but i have missed some assignments, and that lowered my grade. The first day we started this class, all of us had an "A" but later the student started getting a low grade because they didn't do what they suppose to do. I have missed some assignments which are: the essay, the persuasive essay, and some homework that i did not turn in. Thats why i have a "C" in this class. I used to have a "F" but then i started making up my work because i didn't want to fail this class. The assignment that i did well on, was the Constitution of Los Angeles, i did well on that assignment because i think my teacher liked it when she was reading it. She gave me a sticker for that and i felt happy because i knew i had done something good. Also the assignment that i did well on, was in my folder, i decided to organize all the papers that i had done during this semester. I organized my folder from the first assignment we did trough the last one we did.
I think i did well during this semester because i always tried to do my best in all the assignments. We did a lot of different thinks in this class. We were using the British Literature book, its a purple book, and its really big. We read some stories, but actually we learned more about Poets. We learned what Romanticism was. Also we did a poster in groups about a romantic poet, and we did a presentation about him. I had a good experience in this class because i learned a lot of romantic poets. Moreover, we did reflections, cornel notes, and double entry journals. Later i fell from a "C" to "F" because i missed around four days, it affected my grade because i had missed a lot of assignments. Therefore, u started making up my missing work. It was hard because i had to do a lot of things at the same time. I wasnt sure if i was gonna made it but i did. I have a "C" now but i would try to get a "B" at least.
i would like to have a "B" in this class because i almost have done all my work and i did the best i could to have 100% in each assignment but thinks were getting worst when my teachers from other classes gave me homework because i did not have enough time to do my late work from this class. thats why i couldnt do all of them. I know that i have to do it if i want to get a higher grade. so i wish i have more time to finish my other assignments. Many students dont care about it but i really do, because its my grade and it could affect me in the future, especially in college, they dont accept people when they have "D" and i do want to go to college. so i will do my best to get a higher grade.
this class will benefit on my life because this class helps me to improve in my reading and writing skills. it is important to know how to write and read perfectly because in college classes ae more difficult. this class is really important because i need to pass it in order to graduate from High schools.

Los Angeles Conditions
Los Angeles has been one of the most dangerous cities in California. But it also has been one of the most important cities in California because people have more opportunities in Los Angeles. so it has good and bad conditions. the majority of teenagers are involved in drugs, gangs, and other bad things, like tagging, robbery, and crimes. Those conflicts give a bad look to Los Angeles because sometime innocent people pay for that others do. Therefore people are afraid of of being on the streets late because they know they are not safe enough, especially young ladies they could be violated. it is also dangerous for others because gangs normally fight each other for their neighbors and people pay for it. thats why Los Angeles Police Department tries to keep this city protected. Actually they have a lot of different units. There is one called Gang Unit that focus only in gang members but its impossible to keep this city protected because its a big city and people never know what would happen to them on the streets. this gives a bad aspect to Los Angeles because we dont have a safety community. this is a really bad condition because there is noway to fix this problem.
Los Angeles has good conditions too because here are a lot of opportunities especially people who live in poverty. the good thing is that the government o this state provides them food and health for those who need it. it also gives them an opportunity to work. los angeles provides a lot of programs in which people can apply. for example food stamps , medicine, and education for teenagers. many people who live a bad conditions apply to these programs. sometimes when they get sick and they dont have money they have the chance to apply for free medicine. this is good because these programs help people when they need it. los angeles also gives the opportunity to students to get scholarships for their education. What i like about that is that they help student to reach their goals.
Los Angeles is one of the most popular cities in California because not all cities provide what Los Angeles provides. but it also one of the most dangerous cities but i think the government should do something about this because that way the conditions of Los Angeles would improve and people would be safe.

Academic Autobiographic
My name is Daniel Medina. i was born in Los Angeles but i grew up in Guatemala with my parents. I went to school over there. Then I came back here to Los Angeles when i was 14 years old. i went to John Muir Middle School. in 2007 i graduated from there. Then I started High School. i went to Manual Arts for a year because after a year my mom and i moved to New York with my brother. We were there for around 4 months. After 4 months we moved to Arkansas with my uncle and my cousins. I went to school over there. The name of the school is Paragould High School. I felt weird in that school because i was the only Hispanic in my class, so i didn't adapt to that school. My mom and i were only around 8 months over there because it was so boring; it was like a farm, there were no city nor buses. Thats why i told my mom that i wanted to come back to Los Angeles because here i can go where ever i want and there are more opportunities of jobs over here. So we came back and i was living in Highland Park, and i went to Benjamin Franklin H.S. for a year. i liked that school because i met a lot of people over there. Then we moved to this area and i started attending to this school. This is a good school and i like it but i don't feel comfortable because this is my last year and moving from places had affected in my grades. If i wouldn't move to this school i would had graduated a year before but now i have to make up some classes. so i decided to stay in this school because i want to graduate on time.
After High School I'm planning to go to a community college but i haven't decided which one yet. but i need to find a job before because i need to earn money for college. I havent decided which college to attend but i already know know what i want to study for. i want to study Criminal Justice because i want to be part of Bomb Squat unit but for getting to that position i need to become a police officer first. i need to be a police officer at least 5 years before to promete for Bomb Squat Unit. i already did my first step which is becoming part of the LAPD Cadets. I will graduate from there when i turn 21 years old. then i will apply to the Police Academy for 6 months. The good thing is that im gonna get pay while im going there. After that i wait five years to join the Metropolitan Unit and promote for Bomb Squat Unit. thats the way im planning to reach my goals. it seems easy but the training is really hard so i will do my best to get to that position.
