South central would be known as a ghetto place. When people hear the word ghetto they think poor, bad, handy, gun shots, projects,and all these negative stuff. What they think of ghetto is basically describing South Central but like everything its not so bad. Some positive stuff about South Central is the food and the amount of diversity we have. Living here could also teach you life lessons by...

Yes, I have grown as a person. I think I have become more responsible about my work and grades. My grades would prove that I have grown better. The only thing that will never change is my personality because its just weird to change it. The thing that would prove that I havent changed is just remembering how I was before and how I am right now its just the same. My feelings toward people and the...

My ancestors are from Mexico. My culture shapes my identity and character because it is who I am and it represents how I look and it also represents my background. I am proud of every aspect that comes from my culture. I am those type of people that are proud of where im from but i dont show it a lot. I will identify myself mostly as a Mexcan because I live with the traditions that show that.

I usually deal with anything by being around with people that are making me feel better. Basically being in a positive environment. The normal strategy is to say no but usually I dont hang around with people who do that. Even if I did hang around with them and they forced me those wouldn’t be the types of friends that are worth my friendship. I would consider me both but mostly a leader....

I have a habit of moving a lot. I really cant stay still. Its wether im moving my feet/leg or my fingers but its usually in place. This habit helps me and hurts me because it in a way helps me relax (at least thats what I think). Usually people think its because im nervous but im not it just happens. It hurts me (not really more of my family) because I really irritate my mom. She doesnt like...

What's so scary about CHANGE?
withoutlove:
I hate CHANGE… I mean, I REALLY HATE CHANGE. I am one of those people that order the same thing every time I go to the restaurant. One place I go on a regular basis, the owner actually pays for my meal as long as I let him decide what I am going to eat. He just wants me to try something new every now and then. There’s nothing wrong with not liking change… there is however something...

It is important to make positive statements to other people because you want to make sure you treat others with the respect you want them to give you. And overall name calling and all the sterotypes hurt people. It makes them think wrong about themselves. Now and days people are more suicidal and I think its because the things people have told them. It just gets to our head and hurts us that why...

If its an emergency you can just think positive. They might get better or not their is always a chance. My way would be listening to music but everyone has their own way. I also tap a lot and for some people it might be iritting but it kind of calms me. Being calm in the emergency room can help because they are able to do their job. If you’re panicking they might have to stop and calm you...

Most of the things that I have accomplished is by the help of the people around me. Wether getting good grades or just doing something at home, i do it by all the people who have taught me how to do it. When i work hard on my grades I get them by what I learned and what I can be capable of doing and that I can try hard. Its all because of what the teachers teach you. I think things that people do...
