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.

There are a lot of cases that LGBTQ kill their self because society doesn’t accept them. In this

Story I am going to tell how a gay man dealt with his life. His name was Jamie Dean and he was going to Colombia University he was a transsexual but no one knew he was only his boyfriend. His family was against all the gays or lesbian or even transsexual, his family live in Mississippi and most of the people from Mississippi don’t like that to see gays or lesbian.  Anyways going back to Jamie like every night Jamie would go to his dorm and study or call his boyfriend then he would eat something and fall asleep. The other night was very different because his boyfriend came to New York and he really wanted to see him. They saw each other in the airport and then they went to the gay club all dressed up. The first night his boyfriend was there the social abuse start there was a protester outside the club. They threw rocks and watermelons to the entire homosexual the owner of the club called the police but when the police came they all felt. They went back home and cried  like little babies.
   Jamie and his boyfriend brian went back home and stayed there for three days

Academic Autobiography

      I was very bright when i was young, in kindergarten i got my first and only honor roll which was the highest achievement  that a student could get. In first grade i was a troublemaker so that didnt go well  with my grade the teacher hated me because i would make her life a living hell, me with some other classmate would fight over anything but i still managed did pass that first grade. In second grade i was improving in my behavior and my grade werent the best but i was trying. I remember one thing about second grade that all the students had to participle in a play it was the Independence of the united state of america.
I had one line but i was so nervous because very parent, teacher,and classmate would be there and i begged my teacher her name was Ms. brown by the way. The moment of truth came and i said it after saying my line i thank god that i didnt have a heart attack or mess up.Third grade was find i did my work and by the end if the school year i was pround of myself that i had passed the grade. The whole school talked about how fourth grade was the hardest because the teacher would give tons of homework so i was sacred going into the fourth grade.
 I was back into my troublemaker ways because the classmate I dislike was back. The teacher would tell us to needle down witha heavy book on our heads or she would get a yard stick and hit the desk when i wasnt paying attention and i didnt know if it was us or if it was her (down syndrome) son thta would get her mad every single day. In  fifth grade my teacher was Mrs. Hamilton god rest her soul she died over two years ago. Everyone thought she was so nice but i didnt see it in her because every time i would get a F or a bad grade she would yell out "F BOY".
  I told my mother but she agree that the teacher was right to call me that. The sixth  grade teacher was the same one as my kinder her name was Ms. Martel she really was  the nice one . You would have gotten away with murder in her class but she was truly a nice and fun teacher. In seventh grade i had three teachers because i had failed  that grade my aprents were very upset,disapointed they told me that they werent going to put me in another private school again but they did my next school was St. Gergory.
  I had To finish half of seventh and eight grade in that school. The teacher seventh grade teacher Ms.Phills was nice to new students that came to the school. So eight grade was coming up and the whole school said that the eight grade was the hardest grade in the because the teacher would be tough on you and would want you to succeed. I started the eight grade the whole year went well, with my studies and we went to alot of field trips. We had like 4 field trips one to San Diego Zoo another one to Knotts Berry Farm and the last one to Six Flags all the trips we took were with my friends and classmates. That was the prefect school year but expect for one thing that i didnt get into the school i wanted which was Don Bosco.
  So I had to come to West Adams Prep high school i didnt like the thought that i was goign to go to my first public school but i had to. Freshmen year wasnt godd for me because i would be a loner no one to talk with. i would walk to the halls of the third floor. I really waqnt to go to a great university something like a UC or a CAL state.
