I am one of four children’s. I am the only girl. I am eighteen years. And my name is
yaritza. School hasn’t been my best strength. Although I have worked extremely hard to stand where I am.
To begin with I was born in EL Salvador. I don’t live with my parents. They have never been in the picture. Because of that, the person that has and is supporting me academically is myself. When younger I realized I didn’t have an adult that supported me academically that’s when I came to the conclusion of always being my own supporter. After I came to this country, I did not start school immediately that’s the reason why I am one year behind in school. I went to Alexandria Avenue Elementary School. Which is located by Alexandria and Oakwood street in Los Angeles. I went to Alexandria from first to fifth grade, when I graduated from there I later went to Marina Del Rey Middles school located by Catalina street. That middle school was a magnet school a very beautiful but was too far from home. For that reason I attended Marina Del Rey Middle for only two years, and then changed to Berendo Middle school for my eighth grade. Since Berendo Middle school was my home school. Which is located by Pico and Berendo street in a not so good neighborhood. After accomplishing my last year in Berendo I ended up graduating with honors and received two metals. One in Science and the other one in Social Studios. I don’t have a favorite subject. The only two classes that I enjoy is art class and theatre. I like going to my art class because I get to be creative and I get to sketch interesting images and objects. Art makes me appreciate the smallest and simple things that daily surrounds me. Although theatre is the class that’s interests me the most it makes me relax and be myself. I also enjoy that class since I get to be different characters. My second grade teacher has to be the only influential teacher I have had. When I was in her class I knew nothing but Spanish. Ms. Isomotto which was her name since sadly past away, was patient and helpful to my learning. Ms. Isomotto would stay with me after class to try to help me improve my English and catch up with the rest of my classmates. She would always tell me “there is no limit to an extraordinary future”. At the time I did not understand what she meant but now I understand that what she meant is that’s there is no limit to dreams. I once remember having to do a project in elementary. More than just a project it was about being responsible. My teacher gave everyone in class a pot which inside had a seed buried . Our assignment was to take the pot home and bring it a month later or so. I learned how to be more responsible and how to appreciate nature is so valuable. We later, had to write an essay about the development of the plant. That’s when I learned for the first time how to write an essay or at least how the structure of an essay is suppose to be written. First an introduction about your topic, then a thesis, at least three body paragraphs and lastly a conclusion that takes you back to your thesis explaining about your main point of the essay. A academically I see myself in the future assisting to one of the best acting performing arts college or university. I am going to be honest and say I am not going to be the BEST student in class since I have a hard time expressing myself although I would be one of the best since I always try my best in everything I do. In second grade is where I learned how read, write and speak in English. By going to SL classes and with the help of Ms. Isomotto. My English grades in Junior high, were a couple of A’s but mostly B’s. I wouldn’t a lower grade than a B. My specific goal for this class other than passing the AP exam is to get ready for college. I am in this class to become a better writer, reader, listener and student. But more importantly to learn how to express myself when it comes to writing or communicating. I am in a AP class and for that reason I am going to act like one although that does not mean I am always going to know the answers to everything. I expect my teacher to be patient with me since I am a slow learner but with great abilities.
