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.
