My name is Danny Salvador and I was born in Los Angeles. I live with my parents and my little sister - Emily. Ever since I was born, my whole family expected that I will grow up to be a successful college graduate; this has not been done in my family. The one who expected most of me was my grandfather who died when I was in 4th grade. I made a vow that I would make him proud by succeeding in school and becoming a role model to the rest of my family. In 7th grade, I was introduced to a program held by wonderful teachers. I was astonished by the opportunity and decided to join in. I was welcomed by fantastic teachers and students who were ambitious, courageous, and had a thirst for knowledge, like I did. I am currently wait-listed into every private school to which I applied and joining Hollywood high school SAS.
Hello I am Anthony Mitchell; I attend Pacifica Christian High school.
I love my school; the environment is amazing. I have copious friends, and I am currently running for Sophomore President. I enjoy all my teachers; they have taught me so much not only from the subjects they extol, but also just life in general. Because Pacifica is predominately Christian, I have adapted to the rituals and ceremonies celebrated by them; in fact, I have worked on my relationship with God since attending. My school is one big happy family. I have always dreamed of a place where not much animosity is present. Because Pacifica wants their students to think well and live well, its a green light for success; therefore, I am a better student and a better person.
