I was born 4/27/2000 the year of the dragon as some people might say, in Russia and from what my parents had told me a little part of my life was in an orphanage. I could not tell you what part of Russia I was at but I can tell you that I had the greatest opportunity of my life. The opportunity to have a great family that cares for me.

This happened at the time when I was adopted and sent here in California they must have gone a long way just to get me and my brother, but I wont talk about it. Growing up I had no idea were I was so I seem to have been a little monster to my family. There were times when I still spoke in a little Russian that what my mom said. But I knew that this new life in California was a great opportunity I was not all bad at school work but I was very much into sports. I was not such a hard worker when I reached to the new grade level just like any other kid probably would I academically was tuning down my studies. But with the great school district I was in they gave me options to be able to be more academic. the district is amazing in California but after that I it was lottery schools from there on. Because of my grades slipping I went into a stage of being angry with myself and that did not go well for me so I spiked out on sports and went to become a couch potato that has no other thing to do but his work, even them I was not improving. I am not saying I flunked I just did not do my work.

With my time in California I have been able to meets some great people even though I was in elementary playground rules to getting a friend was an actual thing there was one and only one rule don't fallow any rules to getting friends, confusing right every one made that rule up. I remember one of my best friends his name was Dave me and my brother met him at one of my games he seemed to share the same interests as my like he likes video games, sports, and skating. With friends and family I am low here the best place I have come to know. the birth day parties were not so bad ether.

Going through middle school was the worst it was filled with bullies and cameras I barely survived the place until the bullies went away and my life was so much better the school was easy to get threw the wok was easy the teachers nice and we got to have computers but the bad thing about that was that carrying the things we a pain in my back side the kid were nice though because it was a technology school and we were allowed to use any sort of technology we had. but with the computers I mentioned they were watching us threw the screens and you never know what they will do to you if they cot you playing video games on school property with the computers. mostly it was just a warning but I had a friend that was kicked out of the school because he looked at a very inappropriate picture online. They told us that you net book is your baby and so never drop it or ells the fine is 300 dollars if you did not pay the fine you could not walk at graduation. In DATA Grade meant everything because your a lower grade you could not have a seat I am not talking about academic grades just what grade you are in It was one of the things I was not expecting in the school. though the teachers at this school are amazing the teachers at DATA really do not care enough about the grades you get much less if you are getting bullied you see one kid go into the office and then that kid goes to the office for the rest of the day.

What I am saying is that if I had never been adopted my life would have been in that orphanage until 16, that is the age were they will not house you. This opened a huge opportunity to live with a family that cares enough to go that far for me I got to experience so much than I ever would have If I was stuck in that orphanage hell I would not have any friends, go to school, or even type this. thanks to all this I live in a place that is called home eating pizza, cake, and ice cream in Russia I would have only been eating bread and drinking water. but there are some days that I wished that I would not have experienced like school I am gusting that it happens to every other kid in the world and I should not think about it. At this point I am stalling for time because I am getting off the assignment and I do not have anything more to type and it is hard to type a thousand word essay. it seems that I am not ready for the big life of collage yet but I will get better as I go good bye.
