Wild card essay
My name is Jonathan I grew up in Los Angeles California. My height is about 5, 9 and I weight 205. Today I am going to talk about all the great things that had happen to me and experience. In my good 16 years that I lived I had a lot of memories that I would love to share to the world. I had when I went to Las Vegas, six flags, ECT. I also experience bad things in my life about 2 years ago when my cousin had passed away of cancer.

I remember when I was about 6 years my mom me and my family went to six flags. I didn’t want to go there cause I was scared of the rides I had told my mom that I didn’t want to go, she said that to not be afraid we r not getting in the rides. I was happy until my uncle had told me lets go at first I was like no I don’t want to but he told me there’s noting to be afraid of when I was kid like you I was scared to, I was like okay so, I went in I had never experience noting more scarier than the ride. I had some nasty bubbles feelings in my stomach, when I got out the ride I wanted to go back. I thanked my uncle for taking my fear out of me.
It was one Halloween when me and my girlfriend jasmine had went to universal studios. She told me before we got there im scared I was laughing at her because she likes going to Disney land but, not universal. We got inside now it was me that was scared but, at that time I had thought what my cousin had told me “never be afraid of what you see if you know they won’t do anything to you.” There was a maze called house of horrors were you have to find your way out while they scare you. My girl was scared she was hugging me so tight that I couldn’t breath, it was almost the finish when someone had come out the curtain and scared me I tripped and fell, and it was the funniest thing ever when I pulled down the person down with me.

It was January,3,2005 when I had gotten a call from my aunt crying I told her what was wrong she said pass me to your mom. My mom told her to relax and tell her what was going on. My aunt had told my mom that her daughter had cancer. It shocked me and my mom I told my aunt noting is going to go wrong everything would be okay. About two months later she was in the hospital, she was taking the strongest medicine for the pain. My aunt didn’t want to tell her that she had a little time left to live. It was March, 12, 2009 I was at my cousins house, I went in the room and saw her really sick. We dedicated a song to her, because I had her the doctor say that she is not going through this night. It was 11:00pm when the doctor told us is almost time if anyone wants to say good bye do it now, my uncle and aunt went first then me my mom and dad and so on. It was 11:30 the doctor said that she passed away the only thing keeping her alive is the machine. Me and my family were crying, at 11:45 my uncle and aunt decided to disconnect the machine.

Violence essay
In my whole life I went through many many tough and sad times. I wish that when I was small I lived in a neighborhood with peaceful people. What I am saying is that I went through people getting killed and jumped for no reason. In my whole life I went through 10 people getting stabbed, shot, or jumped.
I used to live in pico and hoover, but eventually we had to move because the building got flooded and the main entrance had water coming out the door. So, then we moved to lake and 8th it was good there at first. A week later me and my mom notice that the place was a bad idea. There was a lot of gangbangers and to much drug dealing going on, we didn’t have enough money to move again. One morning we woke up and we heard got shots my mom and I woke up we went to the hallway and saw a women crying, my mom rushed at her and said what had happen she said “look at the wall” my mom looked shocked when she saw the lady’s husband dripping blood.
Another thing was when I went to a party at my aunts house in san Bernardino. I went with my mom, dad, girlfriend, and her family. It was my aunt’s neighbors daughters 15 that I went to. Everything was going on great, we were eating and spending time together. It was 9:30 pm when to gangbangers came in and started mad dogging me and telling me where was I from, I said no where they were watch your back. I didn’t say noting because I didn’t want to start problems they were starring at my girlfriend after I still didn’t want to start any problems so I decided to move to another seat. It got back to peaceful, like an hour later they came back I stood up and said what was there problem they said what you are going to do. I fought with both of them I cracked one with a bottle and the other I mange to brake his jaw. I got hurt so ion went to the hospital they told me I had swollen ribs. It was noting serious I healed up back with in a week.
Till this day I still go trough bad times about 2 weeks ago I had to go to court because some 26 year guy wanted to press charges on me for me hitting him and braking his nose. The reason I done that was because the guy had try hitting a 16 year old girl because she didn’t want to give her sidekick to him. I had got there and told the guy what do you want for her he told me mine your own business. I got there and took the bat away from him. He mange to sock me in my head twice, I stood up and socked him with an uppercut I broked his nose and he ran away. Unfortually the judge doesn’t believe me and I have to make community service and a warrant on him.
