On November 22,1963 John F Kennedy was assassinated by a man who hid behind a window in the Texas School Book depository. A man was later arrested because witnesses had pointed him out, his name was Lee Harvey Oswald (Randall, biography, 582). Many people believe this event had happened because of some sort of conspiracy. But no one can really prove why it had to happen.
John F Kennedy seemed to be one of the only one of the few presidents that actually tried to help his country. That day had to one of the saddest days in history. Many people were in tears when they had announced the president's death. Only someone who honestly had no sense would rebel against the president's decision. Lee Oswald wanted to be noticed, so he went and took extreme measures. So many people were devistated by the event. "That morning's Dallas News had carried a full-page advertisement critisized Kennedy for his abandonment of the constitution and softness toward Moscow and communism." (Randall,Biography, 580) I can only imagine how life would be if kennedy had survived to this day.
Kennedy only wanted what was best for his country, that was his promise to America. He had made a program called 'the new frontier', it emphasized on finding solutions to many problems. One of the most important parts of his achievements was to make sure racial segregation had disappeared, he wanted everyone to have equal rights. Although he was only presideent for little over a thousand days he changed alot.

District Assessment
We now live in the 21st Century, the majority of people use technology in their everyday lives. Technology has a negative and positive side to it.if used correctly then it will help many people. adults usually think,"..that children are wasting time online, texting, or playing video games." But research has been made by authors to go against that statement.
The authors believe that advanced technology is the only intended to be used as a type of thing you may use to get research or connect with people at times. They have made new programs that will help the youth learn more. "The digital world is creating new opportunities for youth to grapple with social norms,explore interests, develop technical skills, and experiment with new forms of self-expression". The authors are trying to show 'us' the readers that technology is not a terfible"waste of time".I can honestly say that most teens mis-use the new technology but a small percentageactually uses it to help and gain newer information."A smaller number of youth also use the online world to explore interests and find information that goes beyond what they have access to at school or in their local community." New site creators have made their programs advanced in a positive way.Not only have they made it more useful to the youth and they are able to learn things more independently.
The authors have made it pretty clear that they believe the new media is a good thing and is very influencial. Companies are still trying to change the minds of the people that dont exactly like technology. They have a lot to back up their statements on how its a great thing. I still dont quite know where I stand on technology so I guess I'm neutral.
In conclusion,after spending some time,three years to be exact; the authors just want to focus on the positive aspect there is to technology instead of focusing on the negative side. Companies only wish to advance and do greater, and better things in the future. In my opinion technology has it's ups and downs but it is also has helped a lot, we should all learn to live with the new media.

Autobiography
Yeah I know Lissette isn't normally spelled with a double S or a double T, but let's face it my first name isn't spelled "correctly" either. I grew up living in Los Angeles and have lived here just about my whole life. My life has always seemed pretty mellow. I've always been pretty quiet about everything. One of my favorite quotes is "The best is yet to come" ,which was quoted from Frank Sinatra.
I'm not the best when it comes to describing myself but I'll try my best. I'm not exactly quiet although i usually never talk; i honestly choose not to talk. I love writing poetry; one of my favorite poets is Edgar Allen Poe or as known as "The master of terror". I especially love slam poetry, it's just inspirational to me. My favorite academic subject have got to be math and science. I was a part of the academic pentathalon for a while in middle school but I didn't feel comfortable so i decided to quit. I attended Pio Pico Elementary/Middle school, a few years ago it was converted into an all middle school. At the time, I was in the fourth grade so for fifth grade I went to Virginia Road Elementary which was right near my home. For middle school i went to John Burroughs Middle School.
i usually never get bored because as the saying goes, "only boring people get bored". I just think that if you are currently still breathing then you should live your life as amazing and crazy as possible. I love rock music and old school rap, I vary in genres for music, that's basically how you sum it all up. My favorite colors are orange and olive green. I have a great amount of hatred towards the color pink, I don't even know why. I use to like playing softball but i still love football, I'm a huge football fanatic. I use to be a Cowboys fan but my team now is the San Diego Chargers. When I graduate high school i plan to go to a good university to study in the medical field to soon after be a pediatrician. When i was younger I always wanted to work for the FBI more specifically, be a coraner. I thought about joining the army for a while but then i realized it's not worth it. I would love to volunteer all the time, I like helping people because who doesn't, other than cold-hearted people.
I hope freshman years goes good, even though it started out pretty rough since i transferred schools; I still miss my old school, even though nearly every teacher says it's a bad school. I can honestly say it wasn't a bad school, it just has bad history. So far I don' exactly love Fairfax High School, but it's okay because I might get used to it after a while. I hopr to get my grades on check and make the best of it.
