My Autobiography of Me

                      Born in Inglewood at Danielle Freeman Memorial hospital Friday April 14, 1995 at 1:45 in the afternoon, i came out of my mother's womb basically dead. I was black and purple, and wasn't breathing at all. I was also a rather skinny baby but that hasn't change over the years. Anyway the doctor had to revive me, which is why I am known as a miracle baby. My mother brougth me home one easter day Sunday April 16, 1995 which is why she calls me her easter bunny.
                     During this time I was the only child, granddaughter, and niece in the family. I was spoiled also throughout the 5 years of my life, because of the fact that i was the only one. When I was 4 years old going to preschool one day, I was walking with my mom, singing my numbers in spanish, when i fell and cracked my chin open. I was rushed to the hospital immediately. My mom cried so much since that was the third event that happened that was unfortunte.The first was when she raised the car seat up and i fell out of it and hit my head on the floor. The second one was when she put my pacifire in my shirt and it was attached to my skin. my grandmother was furious with all of the events since I was her first and only grand baby she had at the time she wasn't very happy with me getting hurt alot. After that I got stitches. My 5 years with being the only granddaughter was pretty sweet, besides the fact that my dad was rarely in my life.
               My dad was a man I rarely saw and rarely loved. I mean I had more love for him, then he ever did for me. My dad spoiled me with everything I wanted but he never spoiled me so much with love. He put me in predicaments that risked my life. Alll my love for him turned into hate when he didn't believe me when something happened reallly important for a parent to believe a child about and when he never came back to see me after I set in the window waiting to see if he would come back for me for over a month, there was nothing to say.
              My brother came into the world August 25, 2000 the exact day Aaliyah the singer died R.I.P. Like they say everyone whodies bring in a new person wel at least I think that's how it goes. I hoped for a sister but he was my baby and still is even though he gets on my nerves, i love him to death. He was the second grandchild and distraction from my attention but I was cool with it son I got over it. After that many other grandchildren decided to appear, which to me was cool, because I wasn't alone anymore. it was my cousin T.J., Alex, Jeremiah, Jayden, Essence, Katelin, B.J., and Emari.
                 I was very intelligent in school as well. I got good grades because my mother always pushed me to my fullest, and she would never let me forget that I could do anything I set my mind on. She told me to never tell her what I couldn't do because she never wanted to hear what I couldn't do. I graduated from preschool and past kindergarten. i went through first to fifth grade still trying to figure my self out and what i wanted to be. I was very insecure but I loved myself to at the same time. I graduated fifth grade happy that i had succeed in alot. When I entered middle school I was happy and excited.
                     I pasted middle school with a whole lot of drama. i got into 2 fights in Dana Middle school but I manage to make it through with good grades. i maintained my grades and made sure that i was always focused. By the time I hit high schoolmy life was different, but like they say the only constant thing in life is change so minus well get us to it. Any way I had alot of confidence in myself yet I faced alot of obstacles that I was dealing with during the time of my 9th grade year. I didn't really respect myself and i would chase after guys. I went to San Pedro High school most of my high school year and then i moved out of San Pedro and went to City Honors High school where I ran into new people and friends and old ones as well. My 10th grade year at CHHS was alright in the begining which around this time of my life I had a boy friend named Cameron Hilary we aren't really official until oct-14,-2011 but he and I are fully committed to each other. he is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Well this is as far as I have gotten on my journey of life. I see a bright future ahead of me as well and that is what I really hope for with the help of my father in Heaven. I hope to make something big of myself that could change the world and my self for the better.

living during decade

 If i could live during any decade it would be during slave times to see how it was back then. I would want to be invisable alittle so i guess it wouldn't really be living there it would just be staying for a little while and that's about it. When I explore with what it's like out there I would try to fix things even if it were not my time and It felt like I couldn't. I would try to make white people realize how ignorant they are acting. I would try to make black people stand up against what they believe in, and I would try to make things go my way. I would try to stop segregation like Martin Luther King and Malcom X and Harrit Tubman. I would try to make a differnce in the world and the way people view it. I really would hope that i mad much a difference to.

Ends with Beauty .....Last with Love

     The most beautiful black girl ever imagined, walked the halls of San Pedro High. Yet to herself she was locked in a body she felt was unperfect. Neila Sullivan was darked skinned with dark brown beautiful eyes. she had had short hair that reached down to her shoulders, and a gorgeous smile everyone cared to see. She had a gorgeous attire and a wonderful personality at which she walked with knowledge. she never feared the obstacles that got into her way, and was commited to anything she did. to everyone else she was a perfect outgoing girl, but to herself, she felt like her existance was worth less.
        She wanted someone to show and tell her that she meant something to them. that she was born for a reason besides living for herself. she ached to have someone . No one knew how Niela felt about herself , and Niela never cared to tell until she met him. His name was Kevin Kenneth Hampton, he had chocolate colored skin, and he had the  most gorgeous features a guy could be gifted with. He was a junior basket ball player. He had nice lite brown eyes that Niela fell in love with when she first layed eyes one him.
         They were in the cafeteria when she first saw him. She stared at him wondering why and what made her so interested in him. Catching her eyes on him, he made eye contact back. Without anyhting  else to do she said hi. He calmly said hi back and Niela was just moved by everything. After that moment Niela talked to Kevin almost every time she saw him and gave him a hug every time it was time to say good bye. She never gave their friendship much thought into becoming more because of her insecurities and the rumors that were thrown around with him liking her friend. Niela loved where she was with her friendship and nothing else mattered to her except for the unfortunte news.
           Neila found out that she had to leave where she lived at and she was heat broken by the news. She never knew how much she would hate moving, until she had to move. She had 1 month and she took her time everyday to make the best of it. She took alot of pictures for memories, did alot of things she never did before , before she left and let everything in San Pedro, stay in San Pedro.
        One  day on Thrusday afternoon, She was walking the halls getting her papers signed and turning in all her book she had, Kevin came from behind and had his arms over her shoulders. They walked and talked about things for the rest of the period. They walked around the entire school, talking about anything they could think of that would make the conversation last. Before parting ways they exchanged numbers. They gave each other a hug and went to their separate classes. Niela finished the rest of her week outof San Pedro High School and  went to another school in Inglewood called CHHS City Honors High School. She started her new school not knowing what followed in her future.
           She was going on good through school and sometimes Kevin would call alot to see how she was doing. They talked about life and other things and Neila would even come to Kevin when she felt insecure about something that had anything to do with guys. They became came very close and Kevin even tried to come see Niela one day but plans didnt go so well. After the rest of the school year, summer came and Neila had changed her number. For a while her and Kevin lost contact and she missed his calls and suppost that helped her over time. After searching so much with disappointment at every turn Niela just gave up. One day when she was searching through a friend's phone she founf his number, and texted him on her friend's phone about how much she missed him and how he should call her and she gaved him her number for him to call. After a few days he called her and their bond grew very strong.
           They talked almost everyday and almost about anything they could think of talking about. One night they played a game called the question game and things were shared between the both of them that were never shared before. They asked eachother questions and shared answers and in one of those questions their frindship turned into more. They were like on after that, they always spent time with each other and fell in love after time. Niela felt like she was worth something and he made sure she knew that she was. Her confidences was higher then they had ever been and everything they did together made their love even better. They went to college and were engaged to eachother during the time. After settling in with life and the success and traveling, they got married had children and continued liife together to the fullest.

appreciating parents

The reason i feel that teens should learn how to appreciate their parents are because parents know what best for us although we feel like we know whats best, parents know more then we do. If some people lived without their parents i feel that they wouldn't know how to survive. For example, I have a friend who has his mother in his life but they got into alot of arguements and she put him in a boys home. While in there he had problems and didnt like it and he also had to learn how to take care of himself without his mother to depend on. It was hard for him but yet he still managed to make it because he was so strong and believed in himself and what he could do. He may have a chance to go back with his mother but in the mean time he continues to wish that he could return back home. Anyway the moral of my story is just that he didn't have his mom really and had to manage on his own and that's what we expect for ur parents to help us with instead of doing everything on their own. So unless your mom tells you to do something wrong and tell you that your worthless, you should really appreciate your parents

typical day of my life

A typical day in my life would be when i go to school over the week, and when i hang out with my friends over the weekend. When i got to school over the week, I wake up, brush my teeth, wash my face, and get dressed. After i get all my stuff ready and i do my hair, then i walk to the bus stop to wait for the school bus to pick me up. While im waiting i talk to my friend ayrianna about our weekend and what we did all weekend. Then I get on the bus and go to school. I go to all my classes and do my work. I write down my homework and then after my last class for lunch, I go get my lunch, eat it with my friends and hang out and talk about random things. After that i finish my day out and go to track practice. At track practice i lift weights and run. Then i go to the library and do some of my home work. Finally I got home and do my homework, study, eat, take a bath, talk on my phone for a while and go to sleep. My life doesnt sounds so fun but when i look at it i don't think i would change it cus it is me who makes my life the way it is.

To end a relationship

Well I think it's pretty simple to how people should brake up with someone. As long as its not through texting, through the phone, through a friend, through email, through anything that is not you really or isn't in person, then I think anyone can brake up with another person really easy. For example I was with my boyfriend for about 3 weeks and going okay except for the fact that he always talked to me about sex and wanting to do it. He would touch me in ways that were wrong and to me i just didn't feel right. I wasn't in love with him nor did i want to have sex with him. So one day i sat down and thought about everything and how i really liked him just not some of the things he did. While thinking about it I decided that i should brake up with him. So when i got to school the next day i sat him down and explain to him what i didn't like and what he was doing that was wrong. I told him that i just wasn't ready and that I couldn't do anything i wasn't ready for and that him pressuring me didn't make anything any better. So he understood and we decided to just be friends together. He respected the way i broke up with him and how i did it in person and to his face instead of doing it through the phone or through a friend. I was proud of myself for doing somthing so brave in a very well mannered way

How to make a nrw friend

I would make a new friend by at first picking a person I have payed very close attention to and greeting myself to them in anyway possible that i can. For example, I met my best friend Lakia when I greeted myself by asking her what book she was holding in her hand. She was new to the school and didnt Know anyone but the people she lived by. We talked in the classes that we had together and next thing I knew talking in classes turned into talking outside of classes and hanging out togther all the time. Every situation we had we worked it all out togther. We have been best friends for over a year now and don't plan on giving up on eachother. I may have moved but we talk everyday and i really do hope that our frienship last for the rest of our lives.

cause and effect of prejudice

This problem is happening as we speak. Although it is hidden behind expressions and words with other words sugar coding wat is really begining said, prejudice is still there. What cause this was back in slave years when white people thought that they were better then the rest of the population as they still do at this time. They use blacks and mexicans and also other populations to cater for their needs and they felt that other populations were weak and dumb. the effect of this called men and women like, MalcomX, Martin Luther King jr., Rosa parks etc, to rise up and take a stand against thses causes and show exactly why they were wrong and should be stopped. Although it still goes on until this day, it's not as bad and is however illegal to do. I feel that people who think that beinging prejudice was alright, should feel very ignorant for thinking so because they are showing how very cruel they are.

Life without computers

Life without computers would be a major change because, now-a-days computers are all we use to communicate. Without computers life would be very difficult and kinda complicating to find some information in the world that we need. We are on computers more then  we are watching t.v.. Although teeangers are more on the computer then adults, its a big value apart of life. Without computers alot of people won't have businesses and jobs. Students at school won't pass all their classes and anything else if they are not provided with a computer. Just as i am typing this I wouldn't be able to finish any of my work if I didnt have access to a computer. Computer would change the world alotand i truly believe for the worse. So if anyone decides to take away computers they should think again.

moment with a family member

If i could spend a day with one family member it wouldn't just be one family member, it would be three. If i could spend a day with all three family members i would spend it with, my mommy, my brother, and my aunties. I would spend my day with my mommy because, she is the closest, most caring and loving person i have in my life. When im with her my day goes by fast when we are together. People usually mistake us for sisters yet i never treat my mother has though she is my sister because I have more respect then to do that. We normally have fun together unless she is taking care of business, try to entertain myself.  I would spend a day with my brother bacuse he knows almost everything about me, and would alwats be ther for me and we could talk about anything. My brother is like my twin even though we aren't twins. Although he sometimes jugdes me to be so young and immature he can be a big help, and finally I would spend a day with my aunties because, they are very entertaining and will always let me know i am loved and appreciate. Some times I wish they could be with me everywhere and guide and entertain me but life doesnt work like that. They are like a second half of me in which I hope to never loose. These people are really big in my life and i really appreciate them with all my heart

best part about my home

The best part about my home is the living room. my living room is the best part because, it's big, warm, and relaxing to me I like to sit, read a book, or watch movies in my living room. Another best part in my home is my bathroom because, it's very comfortable for me to take baths in and it is very comfortable for me to do almost anything. Both of those are my best places to be at home beacuse they are very peaceful to me and i love to be at peace with the world. Although i am still yong i have stress to and need a place to relax away from the world so i use those two places in my life to clear my mind.

what's special about me

what is special about you? Explain what makes you a unique indiviual.
Don't get me started with this subject. What makes me special individual is that I am very unique and wonderful. I don't see how anyone couldn't love me unless they didn't know me, and I mean if you don't get the chance to know me or won't take the chance, then the only reason to not like me is because you are a hater, and if you have tooken this offensive then I have just proven, my point. I am sweet, adorable, loving, lovable, active, smart creative, a genius, beautiful, expressive, loyal, committed, mature reaponsible, and too much for words. I am not what everyone calls me or says about me. I am the person that i feel i am without everyones judgement. So if anyone thinks I care about their comments then stop thinking because your dead wrong. I'm sorry to get all into to this but just know that I am more then the beauty of my existance and the shell on my outer body .......i am lashon andrea lachapelle smith and that is someone you"ll never be.

pride in your work

Discuss the importance of pride in one's work
Pride is a very impoartant thing in one's work because if you have pride in your work then you know that you've done a good job. However, if you don't have pride in your work then you may not have done a good job. For example, if a car company made a car abd had pride in it, then that means that they have done a good job and they will now and see that people will be more eager to  buy it. Where as if some other company has not done a good job or may think that they have but arent so proud of their work and themselves then, they will not get as many customers to buy their vehicle. know that I for a fact complete everything i can to be proud of my work because then, If i have proud, ill be more confident in winning. If i feel like everything about my work is better then anyone else's then I will know that i have done a great job and that I am proud of my work and will succeed at whatever I do
Most States allow people to get a driver's license at the age of 16 some people feel that 16 is much to young for the responsibility that comes with driving a car and that teenagers should not be allowed to drive until the age of 18. In your opinion, at what age whould people be allowed to drive and why?

         Should teenagers have to wait until their 18 to drive? Does the age between 16 to 18 really make a difference or actually determine somone's maturity? both of those questions are asked to states that allow teenagers at the age of 16 to get their license. i truly believe that some people deserve to wait until the appropriate age, while others deserve to have their license at the age of 16. i believe this because, some teenagers may think it's alright to drink whie driving, they might think it's cool to text while driving, and other teenagers at 16 are mature and know how to follow the rules of the road.
             
              Now a days over 60% of teenagers around the world are involved in an accident or have died over drinking while driving. In this case it is felt that teenagers over the age of 16 to 20 shouldn't start with their license at the age of 16yrs old. Rebecca Johnson a student at Hambolt University was invited to a party with friends, without as secong thought Rebecca took the invitation and went to the party. While at the party her friends had more drinks then usual and were about to drive themselves back home. Noticing that the driver of the car was drunk she turned down the ride home and warned them that they shouldn't drive in that condition. They refused to listen to her and presisted anyway. The next morning it was on the news that 4 teens had been injuried in a car accident and that 1 of the 4 teens had died at the seen. Just to look at the tragic event that happen Rebecca was thanful that it wasnt her own life.
              
                      Moreover, I feel that teenagers should wait until an appropriate and mature way because, teenagers all over the world are still stuck to the ability of their phones. Even I as a teenager am still stuck on my phone 24/7, even though however I know when to put it down. Not so many are like me which is why I feel that some teens should wait because they believe it's okay to text and drive. I was watching an show called "Meet the Browns" and in that showed it was a story about a girl who was texting her best friend, while he was driving about the color theme of a party. Without thinking about the consequences of the road the boy texted her back and got into a car accident and died at the hospital. When the girl found out she blamed herself for the death of her best friend. The moral of the story was just that you shouldn't text while driving because it has dangerous consequences.

                        Finally with all the examples to why teenagers shouldn't have a license at age16, here is a reason on why they should, I feel that some teeangers are mature enough to get a license at 16 is because some teenagers know how to follow the law and what happens on the road. 16 year old Lundun Love at City honors High School, practice for her drivers license since she was 15years of age. She pasted all her tests and got her permit. Now Lundun has entered her 16 year and is waiting on her license to come into the mail. From the performance I viewed seeing Lundun's maturity and driving skills, she is a very good example on why teenagers mature enough should get their license at 16 years of age.

                 I can't say that all teeangers deserve their license at 16 but the mature enough ones do. I think that if all of us were to mature at an early age their wouldn't be so much judging of us teens as it is now and we be able to pass through life without any regrets. However since I can't be ever teen in the whole entire world, I'll use my abiliy to the fullest to try to influence the teens that need to be more mature. The examples I have provided, that some teenagers may think it's alright to drink while driving, others may think it's cool to text and drive,and the very few teens at 16 are mature and know how to follow the rulse of the world, should give people reasons to why they should and shouldn't judge teenagers on driving. These examples could happen to anyone, but just the fact that it is a bigger percentage in teens makes us look more known to doing it. So to the teeangers out in the world mature yourselves before you step foot on the road, and the ones that already have should continue to, to influence the ones that haven't.

volunteering

               Many people volunteer their time to help others, either through non- profit organizations, church, or charitable venues. Write an essay  convincing readers to find a charity and volunteer their time.

                                               Volunteering

                       It is a shame how the world spends more time against each other rather then working together. i feel that some of us should see the importance of helping unfortunate people, and volunteer our time to help them. i believe thie because, it would help make the world a better place, you would feel good to be appreciated and needed in another person's life, and you would make someone in need for any reason feel like their not alone in this world.
   
                      volunteering yout time to help others, either through non-profit organizations, churchs , or other charitable venues would be important because you could help make the world a better place. for example if teenagers or young adults spend more time volunteering for their future other then, smoking, drinking, joining gangs, partying and doing nothing with their life, there would not be so much crime and hatred in the world. You would also see more young adults graduating from high school and going to college to make some thing better of themselves. you couldn't see so much graffiti and fights going on . neither will you see so much hatred going on around with all of the gangs. it wouldnt all stop but at least it would be a start.
                          Moreover you would feel good to be appreciated and needed in a person's life when, someone volunteers to work in a nursing home, that old person in the nursing home may have an absense of loneliness inside them and needs someone to care for them. the person that volunteers would end up to be that someone they depend on to feel that absense. After a while both the volunteer and that old person will get attached, when that old person misses the volunteer and the volunteer find out about it, the volunteer will feel like they are appreciated and needed in someone else's life. then both the volunteer and the old person will feel like they have someone in their life to care for and that cares for them.

                          Finally, volunteering is good in the world because, you could make someone in need for any reason feel like their not alone in the world. For instant, say you volunteered at a church for christmas or any other special occasion to feed the homeless. you as the volunteer would serve the food, give them new clothes, smile and show that you care. to you it would just be nothing but volunteering and it may not seem like you have done anything important at all, but to the homeless person getting the materials of life, it means alot. To the homeless person it makes them feel like their is still hope for them inside the world, and that its not to late to survive to get off the streets.
                       
                        Volunteering for a church, charitable venues, or non- profit organizations, can change the lives of so many human beings. it could make the world a better place, bring in of sense of being appreciated and needed in someone's life and it would makea homeless person feel like their is still hope in the world. volunteering can not just have a big effect on you, so why volunteer you ask? well think of it like this, the world cant save you, but you could save the world.
