My name is Jose and my family is from El Salvador. I know you might think I was raised very differently from you but I doubt that. I was raised with a firm hand.
I'll tell you a little something about my education throughout my life. I went to a private/catholic school K-8. When I graduated from 8th grade I applied to just one Catholic high school, they turned me down. They said my grades were to low and they had no room for me. I felt so depressed because I thought no high school wanted me expect the public ones and no I did not want to go there.
July of 2009 was a very difficult time because my parents told me to choose between Home schooling with a tutor or public school and I did not want to stay home all day listening to one guy speaks to me so I chose public school. I came to this school (West Adams Prep High School) with an opened mine. I thought everyone in school was a drug deal, I thought the first day someone was going to "jump" me because I looked innocent. I didn’t make any friends after 3 months I just walk the whole third floor alone, maybe that’s why I'm not afraid to be alone in life because for part of my life I was alone.
All throughout my life I've never been an "A student" I have tried to be but I failed a bunch of times. My parents hated coming to my school when I was young because all they would hear is that I wasn't doing my work or that I was talking to other students and would distract them from their work. I just thought that the teacher hated me because I would be like they use to say a "hand full"
Enough about my life as a student now let’s talk about my life out of school. I live in Los Angeles one of the largest city in the United States. This is truly a great city, it has its areas of rich and poor but i still love living here and don’t want to move.
There lots of things to do in this great state. For one, there are lots and lots theme parks like Disneyland or Knott’s Berry Farm or Six Flags Magic Mountain or Universal Studios plus theirs hundreds of land marks in Hollywood.
Well that’s all I have to say
Sincerely,
Jose
