Walt Disney was born on 1901 in Chicago,Illinois. Walt's parents were Elias Disney and Flora Disney. Walt was born into a family of three brother's at the time. Walt's father Elias saw the neighborhood and he thought that he wasn't raising his family in that kinda of neighborhood. So he moved his family to Marcelline, Illinois. Elias had bought 185 acres from his brother as a form of start up so he could get some money out of the land. In 1905 Ruth Disney (Walt's sister) was born. On the farm Walt's older brother would help their father around the farm but walt would help his mother taking care of his little sister.
Walt was 7 years old when he saw his first play. Few years before their Grandmother would read to the children Hans Christian Andersen fairly tales for example Snow White and the seven dwarfs, Peter Pan and that was Walt's favorite. When he saw peter pan as a play for the first time he liked it so much that he himself conducted his own play.
In 1918 Walt wanted to in role the United State Army. At the time the united states were into the World War 1 but Walt was just a "jeep driver" for the medical group. In 1920 Walt found his one and only love and her name was Liliana. Later one they married and moved to Los Angeles. Him and his older brother Roy bought a house in hombly hills. Walt and his brother Roy started their own Production studio called Silly symphony. They started making new clips or videos of cartoons the artist have created. One day Walt and his wife were on a trip to new york when he had the Greatest idea Ever! He thought that a cartoon character should represent or would be the face of his new company. First he said to his wife it should be a mouse I think ill named him Oswald and his wife no give him a cute name how about Mickey, Mickey mouse said Walt. The first ever appearance was in Steam boat Willie. After that his artist began creating more and more cartoon character for mickey for example Minnie mouse or Donald Duck or Goofy and finally Mickey's dog Pluto. One of Walt's dream was to create a animated full length film based on cartoon. The dream came true on December 25 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released and was the first animated film ever.
After the success of Snow White he thought his workers should work in a bigger and better studio so he started building his "new and improved" studio. After all the workers moved to the new studio they felt like he wasn't the same one worker said " Before the move to Burbank Walt wanted us to call him Uncle Walt not Mr. Disney. But now in this big fancy new studio all has change now its only Mr. Disney." In 1941 was the year The United States got into World War 2 and that year was a big year for the Walt Disney Co. The Government ask Walt and his group of artist to go on a "ABC" trip which was Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. The reason was the U.S. government wanted those countries to be on their side not allies with Hitler or with Japan they wanted Walt to be the country's face. So he went and they government paid him.Shortly after the release of Dumbo in October 1941, the United States entered World War II. The U.S. Army contracted most of the Disney studio's facilities where the staff created training and instruction films for the military
He and his staff created some of the world's most well-known fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, for whom Disney himself provided the original voice. During his lifetime he received four honorary Academy Awards and won twenty-two Academy Awards from a total of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual in history.
Mean while at the studio the workers were on strike because they thought they were working so much for Mr. Disney and he wasn't paying them enough money to work for him so they went on strike! Walt was still somewhere in Chile when Roy Disney settled a deal with the worker he gave them all they wanted and more.
Walt was furious when he hear that his own brother give them everything, he trashed the hotel room of how mad he was. When he came back to the studio everything was changed with him nothing was the same. In 1953 Peter pan was released Walt wanted that movie to be perfect. Years before Walt had his first daughter Diane Disney.On a business trip to Chicago in the late-1940s, Disney drew sketches of his ideas for an amusement park where he envisioned his employees spending time with their children. The idea for a children's theme park came after a visit to Children's Fairyland in Oakland, California The Disney family learned that Liliana couldn't have any more children so they decided to adopted a girl they named her Sharon. In 1951 Walt took his daughter's to Griffith Park to ride the merry go around while he was sitting there he thought of another Great! idea. The idea was a theme park where the parents and the children could have fun together. The first thing he need to build a larger theme park was land and lot's of it. He told his Roy brother to find him a location where he could start building 2 month came and went, when finally Walt himself found a location in Anaheim, 165 acres all filled with orange tree it was a Orange Grove.As Disney explained one of his earliest plans to Herb Ryman, who created the first aerial drawing of Disneyland presented to the Bank of America during fund raising for the project, he said, "Herbie, I just want it to look like nothing else in the world. And it should be surrounded by a train.
The next month they were on already planning to build the Sleeping Beauty Castle. It took two and half years so they park could be ready as perfect as Walt wanted it. The day before the grand opening he invited some of his close friends to come to the park and have fun with him. They said (those who were there) he was drunk as a sailor. In July 17, 1955 Disneyland was open to the public. Almost half a million came to the Grand opening of Disneyland. Walt speech was short and sweet "all those who come to this happy place Welcome!" Walt kept and kept improving the park and wanted to do a new park called Walt Disney World.
By the early 1960s, the Disney empire had become a major success, and Walt Disney Productions had established itself as the world's leading producer of family entertainment. Walt Disney was the Head of Pageantry for the 1960 Winter Olympics.
In early 1964, Disney announced plans to develop another theme park to be called Disney World a few miles west of Orlando, Florida. Disney World was to include "the Magic Kingdom", a larger, more elaborate version of Disneyland. It would also feature a number of golf courses and resort hotels. The heart of Disney World, however, was to be the Experimental Prototype City (or Community) of Tomorrow, known as EPCOT for short.
On December 15 1966 Walt died of a heart failure. His life was beautiful to me because he kept and kept pushing for the best.
After Walt Disney's death, Roy Disney returned from retirement to take full control of Walt Disney Productions and WED Enterprises. In October 1971, the families of Walt and Roy met in front of Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom to officially open the Walt Disney World Resort.
When I was 14 I went to disneyland with my whole family it was a surprise to me for my birthday. I was wondering how all of land came to life well not life but real, and thats when i started to resreach all of walt disney and how you tried so much for his dream to come true. I admire him, he is one of my heros. I wish i could have that can of drive that he had before well even threw his death.
Now the Walt Disney co. is just a bussiness people in that company just think about the money. Disneyland tickets are 80 dollars thats the lowest they could go. I have read many books about him and that wasnt his wish or his true dream he wanted parents and children to enjoy themselves in one places.Its just a disaster now.

love
My journey beings when I was just a seed in the ground. I grew big and strong, all the other rose envied me and my handsome qualities. Then one day a man came and cut me from my roots. I was furious and I got red as a tomato. I was placed with my brother's and sister's they were much more prettier and handsomer than me. We finally meet all the other types of flowers, in this stand where all the flowers are, I was even more frusted so I got even more red after the time went on. Finally this human came to our rescue and picked us out from all the other flowers. I was so glad he picked. Next thing you know we give us as present to this beautiful, amazing, gorgeous girl. She was shocked how amazingly we looked she quickly kissed him telling him "he was the best boyfriend ever" he was so glad. He finally wished her a Happy Anniversary. :)

how it feels to be a teenager in the 21 century/ Los Angeles
The 21 century is very nice, very new, and especially living in a big city like Los Angeles everything in changing all the time. There’s a lot of very bad things that can distract a teenager from their school; or studies in LA drugs, alcohol, sex, violence in other town its not like that because it’s a small community and everyone knows each other. When you’re a teenager you do crazy things and don’t think with your head. When I walk home I see little teenage girls drinking beer or smoking weed or doing other drug its not healthy for them or their body system, I think about how stupid they are to waste their life doing those kind of things they give addicted to it but they don’t care.
Some people say this generation will be the worst of all. The last one was the working class generation who knows what they will call this generation. We have a lot of new technology that teens get distracted by like ipods, computers, cell phones or any other things. In this century teens have more jobs opportunities and things that could help us in the future. But most teenagers just want to have fun go to theme parks or play video games or just hang out with their friends.
This generation has to be the small one not the one that drops out of high school because you just didn’t feel like finishing school or you just got caught up in the drugs. Teens in lower class income communities should be trying hard to get into a college instead of smoking weed or pounding a 40 (drinking beer). The UC’s or Cal states mostly look at students with a higher income or their academic career. Your grades in 12 grade don’t really account because the colleges just look at your sometimes 9-11 grades that point of working your butt off when your in those grades.
I want to go to Cal state la or long beach that’s why I’m trying to do the best in school but sometimes the laziness gets to me and I don’t want to do anything. I know a few students that want to go to college but most of the teenagers at West Adams prep high school don’t want to go to college they want to work and think of money I say that’s why you have your parents their, there to support you and the life path you take.

Facebook essay
The articles we read were about social networks how young adults or teens put all
their information and they don’t know who can be seeing them. Facebook is the most
popular social network at the moment the first popular social network too me was
Myspace it offered the same thing every social network does sending message , chating
with your friends, seeing your friends pictures ,creating your own website. But this young
man studing at Harvard university came up with the idea “the facebook” . Its said that
that the Winklevoss brothers came to Mark Zuckerberg with the idea of the Harvard
connection a website that lets students from Harvard have the own website like Myspace
or Friendster but mark had a better idea.
A social network that was even better than any other network so he started
creating facebook or known back then the facebook. Mark needed some money and he
asked he friend Eduardo he told him all about the website and he was going to make him
CFO of the company. Going back to the point of this essay is that a lot of people but their
information and don’t even know whose looking at your profile it could be anyone. The
point about facebook is a social network to talk to people or to met new people but its not
to put all your information out there. If you comment a crime the detectives they will look
at all your websites myspace twitter and especially your facebook people put more
information about them selves in facebook than anywhere else and the website asks you
for a lot of information name, date of birth email address I ask myself why do they need all
this information but me cant it be just your name and email.
It makes me wonder if they government is behind all of this their just checking up on
everyone but why would they taste their time to see everyone’s facebook accounts. Maybe
its because they need all this information to make the site better but I doubt it. Facebook is
now worth over 25 billion I was shock when I first read it in the Forbes website in
December. How can a website in 8 years valued over that much money the public these
days just goes along with anything that comes up over 150 million people are login into
Facebook all over the world. What’s cool about facebook is that its coming out with new
things every year and its much faster than myspace or any other website there is.
Young adults or teens don’t know that a stocker or a anyone with a sick mind can be
following them on facebook that’s why don’t post on your wall what your doing or where
your going to go. A women got robbed because she posted on your wall that she would be
going out when she came back home most of her stuff was gone that’s what she gets for
being stupid. All this, is the same as creating your avatar a graphical image that
represents a person, as on the Internet. Some video games take that to a extreme level
letting you create your own house, career, character basically any and everything you can
image. The internet is virtual chat web you can met anyone in it .
That’s how boys and girls get in trouble with all the sexual predators out in the
Internet. I believe that’s all the games like that’s should be banned from little immature
kids or teens because you have no idea who is out there. it’s the same as Facebook its all
a game that we play on the internet because how do you know if a person is watching very
post everything you or your friends post on your wall. I have a Facebok account and I
know all the risks that where is but I never put where I’m at or who I’m talking to. A lot
of young teens than me have one and they put the most stupidest things on their status I
don’t get how they put that because people know where they are and can rob their house
or steal something or even steal your ID numbers.
An avatar is your second life you created but it requires information from your real life
and if you put that information out there everyone will steal your Indention. My advice to
everyone who has a face book or avatar is to keep it a secret. Don’t put your information
out there, there’s crazy people out there that do very bad things.
