Hi my name is Darwin Carranza I came to the United States when I was 5 years old. I attended Magnolia Elemantary School located on Orchard and Venice. I began kindergarten because I didn't know anything. I didn't know how to write my name due to the fact that I had come from a different country. Years passed by and on 4th grade I was choose to be in the gifted/talented program. In this program I had to stay afterschool. I learned stuff about science stuff that later on what I had learned was useful and easier for me. My parents were very happy that I was in this program because all my teacher had told them that I was a smart person. I felt proud of myself. After I graduated from Elementary I attended Berendo Middle School.
All the way through Middle School, teachers had told me to keep up my good work that I was very smart student. Afters 6th grade math had been my favorite subject because I really liked math back then and it was way easier. It wasen't till I arrive 8th grade where my math teacher wanted tp get rid of the honors class he wanted to make the class a regular class because some students were to lazy to do their work. My history teacher told me what he was doing was wrong. This nightmare was getting worse everyday. I stood up for the class and wrote a letter to the principal saying that we wanted to keep the honors class the way it was because we had been working very hard and just because lazy people didn't want to do their work it wasn't fair thbat everyonee had to suffer. My math teacher told me that what I was doing was a joke. Unfortunately he ate his words and the honors math class was not vanished. I was awarded with a medal for the effort I had put in and I achieve what my friends and I wanted. I felt pround of myself because I was the leader of all this. In 2008 I graduated from Berendo Middle School it was 3 years of stressful work but everything payed off.
After I graduated from Middle School Now I'm attending West Adams Preparatory High School. In 9th grade I had very nice teacher like Mrs. Yang for biology, Ms. Rodarte for geometry and Ms. Pettus for english. In 10th grade I had a mean teacher for P.E Mr. Tupivao but if you did his work he was cool. I thank my parents, family and my friend for cherring me up and telling me to keep up the good work but I'm more grateful with god because he was given me the strength to keep going. In my 2 years of being in high school I've only gotten a C the rest have been A's and B's. So far I feel very proud because even though I come from a poor country I want to be the firs one to graduate from high school and make my parents proud and help them out when I start working. They work very hard so I can have everything I need and I need to thank them by doing well and having a career where money won't be a problem and I hope I keep up my good work and soon help my parents.
