expertise

A particular hobby that I am really am really into is skateboarding. Skateboarding is helpful for me because it keeps me active and in-shape. I have made a lot of friends while skateboarding throughout the years and plan on making more. Skateboarding is an action sport which involves riding and performing tricks using a skateboard. 

      Skateboarding can also be considered a recreational activity, an art form or a method of transportation. Skateboarding has been shaped and influenced by many skateboarders throughout the years. It is very modern too, since the 1970s skateparks have been constructed specially by the use of skateboards.

      Skateboarding was probably born sometime in the late 1940s and 1950s when surfers in california wanted to surf something when the waves were flat. The first skateboards started with either wooden boxes or boards with roller skate wheels attached to them. 

      The boxes turned in planks then eventually companies started forming skateboard decks. I ride my skateboard everyday for many reasons. I plan of skateboarding the rest of my life because it gets me through a lot of stress when I just feel like doing what I want to do.

career day

Career day was helpful for me because I got to hear from five different people about how their jobs are, or how to get them. So yes I thought it was very interesting. I like the presentation by Dr. Markel the best because she achully told the student secrets about OCC and other community colleges in the area. Instead of just talking about the job or college you are from. I did not like the electrical engineers presentation because I had no interest in electrical. I also didn't like it because they had strobe lights in the back that made me dizzy. I do not have a career goal as of right now because I'm not really in the position to have a job. I do not have a car yet and I am only 16. What I'm doing to find out what career I want is I'm talking to more and more of my older friends that are in college and finding out whats interesting. Even though I don't have a job for the school year I think I want to take this summer off and have fun! After high school I either plan on going to Santa Monica community college or Orange Coast college. I will defiantly have a job by the time I'm in college.

3 wishes

My first wish would be to be a senior, not a junior. I would wish for that because all of my friends are seniors. I only have a few friends in my whole grade. This year a ton of my friends are leaving for college and I don't really know what id do without them. I wish I was a senior so I can just skip the whole stressful, boring year and go to college with my friends.

   My second wish would be to get 5 million dollars for free. I would only choose 5 million or less because if you have more then that its most likely going to charity or your going to buy every stupid little thing you see. I would want to pay off my parents taxes and bills. I would also definitely buy myself a car. I would buy myself an R8 audi.

   My third wish would be to have a concrete skatepark built in my backyard. Having a skatepark in your own house is every kids dream. I would want a skatepark in my back yard because I skate everyday and that would be very time consuming considering all my friends are leaving for college this summer. I would be skating from 10 in the morning till 10 at night. Besides that there aren't much other things I would wish for. A skatepark, a car and being a senior would do it for me.

role model

The only real alive role model I have right now would definitely be my dad. My dad has shown me how to do a lot of thing such as being strong and don't feel alone. When my dad was 5 months old he lost his mom to a heart attack and lost his dad at age 12 to cancer. 

I couldn't ever imagine how difficult life would be without parents, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. He is my one and only role model because he is the strongest man I know and he has been through more things then I could even imagine.

     Besides that I don't really have any other role models. If anything I am my own role model. Some traits you that are important to me and to be used everyday is always think of the best possible thing, and most of the time those best possible things will happen to yoU. 

 Other traits of people I would look up to would definitely be someone who accepts whats given and someone that takes other point of view. In conclusion my dad is my biggest role model and will always be .

domestic violence

During this assembly I wasn't paying much attention because none of that topic had to do with me. In the presentation she talked about "red lights" to beatings. It defiantly showed us how much we didn't even know about domestic violence or how much it happens. Before this presentation I didn't how big of a problem It is or how much people make a big deal out of it.
     First, I didn't believe a lot of the things she said such as that 1 in four people are going through domestic violence issues. Or the rest of the statistics she was saying. I didn't feel like a lot of them were true but just more to persuade us about how bad the topic is. I did feel bad for her when she said she experimented a lot of domestic violence when she was young, going in detail of how and when this happened.
     Second, I liked how she talked about the warning signs of domestic violence or what to look out for, because It gave the kids to think about there personal life. A lot of the rest I didn't really listen because It was mostly statistics  that I thought were completely wrong. I also didn't like how she said get your parents involved but a lot of the times getting your parent involved will just make things worse.

     Third, I was very surprised when she started showing all the girls who have died due to domestic violence. What was even more scary is that those all happened in this county too. So it proves it happens everywhere.

My summer vacation

This summer I want to do A lot of things, but the 3 big things I plan on doing this summer is going to Europe, going to the beach a lot and skateboard a lot during the summer. I plan on living up this summer as much as I can because next year, when all of my very good friends are off in college I will no longer have anything to do. So I plan on making this the best summer yet.                                            

     First, this summer my parents really wanted to go to Europe and a bunch of countries. They want to go for 14 days, which is two weeks. Once I heard that, my whole mind changed from "stoked" to "not stoked". I went to Hawaii last summer for 10 days and that was very fun and I was very glad to get out of Newport Beach for a bit. After the 5th day I definatly changed my mind about the whole trip. I realized I couldn't stay away from Newport for more then a week. So after talking about it with my parents were still debating weather I go or stay home.

Second, what I want to do a majority of the summer is going to the beach and go body boarding. Summer is the only time of year where you can trunk it and not be freezing your butt off. So I like to take advantage of that as much as I can. I have so many good memories from being down a A street or Wedge and going to great mex everyday. I also love the vibe of the beach when a bunch of tourists come to town ha. 

Lastly, I plan on skateboard a bunch also. They have recently taken away my favorite skatepark around, Mariners skatepark. So for now on me and my friends need to find another place where we can skateboard and have fun. I just got a new deck yesterday so while i'm not at the beach ill be planning on skating every day I possibly can.
