Yohely Lydia Mendoza is a very special girl in my life. I really appreciate her because she has been with me for a while now. It has been a few years since I've known her and I can honestly say that those years have been great. We have fought a lot, but we have somehow managed to get through all of it. We have had rough times, but we have also had our good times. I have created so many great memories with her. She has been with me through thick and thin, and for that I am thankful. She is overprotective and she can be very crazy at times. But somehow she still manages to get my attention. I love her and I appreciate everything she does for me.

Technology is a big part of my life because I use it every day of my life. When I am at school, I am always on my laptop doing my work since my school is so advanced. When I am at home I am always either watching TV, or on my phone. But if I'm not, I am still surrounded by technology at all times. The world is advancing into a new era where everything we do will soon include technology in some type of way. Technology is giving us knowledge, and with knowledge comes power. So basically technology is making all of us more powerful. It is improving our lives and making our lives a lot easier as days go by. Technology will continue to improve and improve for as long as the human species live.

My favorite soccer team is FC Barcelona  and it is one of my dreams to watch them play in their home stadium. Camp Nou is located in Spain and the reason why I want to see them play is because the best player in the world right now is playing for that team. Lionel Messi is the worlds best player at the moment and he will continue to be the best until he is no longer able to play. Barcelona is not a great team just because of him though. There are other great players such as Iniesta, Pique, Alves, Alba, Neymar, Suarez and so on that are playing for Barcelona. Together they are unstoppable and they make such a great team. They have always been a great team and they will continue to be succesful as long as they have each other. Barcelona will never die out. Visca el Barça.

My dad is one of the greatest people I know. Although he can be very annoying and very irritating he is still my hero. He out of all people has had the greatest impact on me. The reason for that is because he pushes me to be my best. Whenever I feel like I can't do something, he is always right there telling me that I can do it. He is the one that has always believed in me. My dad is always there telling me I'm the best, telling me that there's nothing that I can't do. He is my number one fan. He supports all the decisions I make. Not only that but if I do something wrong he never criticizes me. He just gives me advice to improve myself. He is always helping me with everything. He tried to make my life as perfect as possible, and for that I am thankful.

Ronaldo de Assis Moreira also known as "Ronaldinho" is my inspiration. He is a retired professional soccer player and even though I never met him, he has affected my in big ways. The reason why inspires me so much is because as a little kid he lived in poverty. He was poor, he barely had anything to eat, and he was just overall living what people would call a miserable life. But Ronaldinho didn't believe that his life was miserable. With just a soccer ball and clothes on his back he was happy. He didn't need anything but that soccer ball to keep himself entertained. Ronaldinho soon began dreaming. He dreamed of becoming of becoming a professional athlete and so he trained day and night. He trained so hard that soon he became one of the best players in his hometown and so he got scouted to play in a small team. Then from there he moved up and up until he got into the best team in the world. He worked his way up towards his dream and he never quit. He accomplished what I dream of accomplishing now. He is known as one of the greatest if not the greatest player that ever lived. Ronaldinho is so humble, so hard-working, and so inspirational. I hope one day I will get to meet him.

My best friends also known as "The Guys" or "The Fire Tribe" have been a part of my life for a very long time now. I have created so many memories with them and they have just overall been such great friends. I can always count on them to make my day better. They have been with me through my bad times and my good times. Because of them I have tried new things, and I've learned new things. I honestly believe that they are in my life for a reason. That reason is to make my life better. Not only that, but also to make me better as a person. They all have a significance in my life. They are all very important to me. They've done so much for me I honestly can't thank them enough. I know they will always be there for me. No matter what it is, I can always rely on them to help me.

I still remember the trip to Disney in 8th grade like it was just yesterday. I remember flying there and being amazed by how beautiful everything looked in Florida. It was one of the greatest things that I've experienced so far. During this trip I was able to bond more with all my friends. I was able to learn new things and experience new things. We went on roller coasters and learned about how it all worked. I learned what technology was used in the making of the whole thing and how it has improved over the years. I remember jumping around in the hotel beds and going on late night swims in the pools. I enjoyed myself so much, it was like paradise. I would want to go back again, but it wouldn't be the same without my friends. It was such a great experience. I will never forget it. It will stay in my memories and in my heart for as long as I live.

My middle school is called "Multicultural Magnet School". But I like to call it my second home because I loved every single thing about that school. The students in the school were like my siblings, and the teachers in the school were like my parents. We were one big happy family. Going to MCM made me love school. I loved learning because I actually had fun. But the most important reason for why I loved the school was because we not only learned school topics such as math, reading, history, science and things like that. But we also learned a lot about life. In MCM the teachers would always give us life lessons. I was able to develop myself and learn about who I am because of those lessons. Those words that my teachers have said to me will never be forgotten. I was able to express who I truly was in the school. No one judged anyone, and no one criticized anyone. Which was why we all bonded so well. We made more than just friends in that school. We made a family.

"A Secret To Success" is a speech that was given by Eric Thomas. This speech spoke to me. It was inspired me to do great things. The main topic of this speech was to never give up. No matter what your goal was never quit. I use this speech to help me when I am frustrated with something because it lets me know that I may be suffering now, but in the long run it will be worth it. Or whenever somebody tells me I can't do something, I refer back to this video. It makes me realize that instead of quitting and letting that person win. I should work twice as hard to accomplish my goal not only for myself. But also so I can prove that person wrong. This video has opened my eyes. It has made me realize that I am capable of doing things that I never imagined were possible.

When I listen to music it makes me feel very powerful. It makes me feel as if I can do anything in the world. The sensation that music allows me to feel is just so amazing. Music has helped me a lot in the few years that I've lived. No matter what I am going through I can always rely on music to cheer me up. Even if I'm just feeling a bit lonely or need time to think about things. All I have to do is pick up my headphones, plug it into my phone, hit play and I can just relax for the rest of the day. Everyone listens to music because it is something beautiful. The sound of it just makes you want to smile and sing along. You'd be surprised at how much music can affect your mood.

I honestly do not know what I would do without my family. They are all individually amazing in so many ways. They are the ones that helped me grow up into the man I am now. They've been with me through thick and thin. I can never thank them enough for what they've done for me. They have given me a life that most people wish they had. My life may not be perfect, but it is more than I can ask for. My mom, my dad, and my big brother have protected me ever since I was little. We fight and we hate but at the end of the day we're still family. They love me, and I love them just as much back. There's nothing in the world that I wouldn't do for them. 

Growing up I have always enjoyed both watching and playing soccer. I am very passionate about soccer because it has helped me get through rough times. Whenever I am stressed out, mad, feeling down, or just not happy overall I play soccer. It helps me clear my mind and it just makes me happy. Soccer is my medicine. Not only that but I am able to bond and make new friends through soccer. They are so great and its amazing because you get to meet people from all around the world. Soccer has improved my life in many ways. I am thankful for this sport. I will continue to play and I am hoping to make a career out of this. I love soccer will all my heart.

     Technology has affected the upcoming presidential election in many ways. For example, technology has gained a lot of support through social media. Most people have found out about who is running, when, where, how, etc. through social medias. Not only that but the candidates can keep the people updated of what they are doing through social medias. Last social medias can advertise and influence people to vote for specific candidates. For example, all over twitter you can see people telling others to vote for Kanye. Social media is spreading the presidential election. More and more people are getting involved because of it.
     With technology, the candidates can make online polls and see what the people want. Then they can take that information and incorporate it into their speeches. This will help them look like a better president. Technology can help the candidates improve their knowledge which will improve their overall being. But this can also be a negative because there are still hackers out there. With technology, the power is in the hands of anyone. Anyone can learn how to hack, and they can get into one of the candidates online accounts. Then after they get in, they can easily post something that can ruin their whole reputation. Hackers will frame these candidates and they will ruin their chances of becoming the next president.

     Portable laser pens will be introduced to the world in 2017. These pens will be used mainly for one reason but can be used for many other reasons. The main reason for this pen is to heal big wounds that will cause you to lose an excessive amount of blood. If you are ever in the middle of nowhere hiking or rock climbing and you get a really big wound by falling or maybe worse. Then this pen will come in handy because it will seal the wound by burning it shut. This way you won't bleed out and die instantly. This is also a lot better than using actual fire to heal the wound because you reduce the risk of getting an infection. This little pen can also come in handy for defense against animals, creating fire to cook food and creating fire to boil water.
     I believe that this pen is very important for our future because it will save many lives. A lot of people die while hiking, or doing stupid dangerous stuff. So for those people, this little pen can be very useful. This will improve our future because it can be used for so many things. Not only will it be used for saving lives, but people can use this as a defensive weapon instead of using a gun. It is still dangerous, but it is less dangerous so it reduces the risk of people going on a killing spree. This is a handy piece of equipment that can be used in all types of situations. This little piece of technology can save you from many life problems.

     My favorite person in the Information Technology field is Steve Jobs because he has done a lot for our generation. We have developed so much because of him.

He started a new era of technology which amazed the world. His work and his words will never be forgotten.
