Personal Narrative: I Am Lizette Loredo

About Me Diagnostic Paper
I am Brenda Lizette Loredo. The way I got my name was due to a discussion between my mother and aunt resulting in my father being the resolver. I was born on September 25, 1997 in Richmond, Texas at 2:48 am. This resulted in my first two years of my life living in Richmond, Texas. Around two years old we moved to Rosharon, Texas where I have lived for almost sixteen years. In these sixteen years that I have lived in Rosharon I have experienced many things, but the uttermost great thing that has happened to me and for what I am grateful the most for is for having a warm home full of love and a wonderful neighborhood. In my neighborhood, everyone is friendly with each other. If one person needs help we all pitch in order
to help the person in need.
I have a warm, loving family for whom I am grateful for. My parents have always supported me whenever I need their help. My dad is Raul Loredo and my mom is Ma Guadalupe Loredo. They have been married for twenty years and I have a younger sister. Her name is Anahi Loredo. Overall, our relationships with each other are wonderful despite the fact that sometimes my sister and I fight over small, trivial things but those fights only last a couple of minutes and what is great about each fight is that after the fight we end up getting along as if nothing happened in the first place. At my house there are four rooms, but my favorite room is my room because I can call it mine. In reality, I cannot call my sisters room mine nor my parents room mine since I do not sleep there. And as for the guest room it belongs to the guest. In my room, I know where everything is at and it is my tiny place where I can rule at home, although sometimes my parents barge in and tell me what to do. I currently have a dog, a rooster, and a chicken. The dog is named Hachiko and as for the chicken and rooster they have no name they are just called chicken and rooster. Originally we had a dog, four roosters, and seven chickens, but a dog ended up killing three roosters and six chickens. That day we let the chickens out of the cage and roam around, but we forgot to close their cage and at night a dog killed our chickens. Sad but true.
My interest and hobbies included listening to music, drawing, painting, and volleyball. I listen to all types of music, yet the two categories that I like the best are classical and pop music. As for drawing and painting I love it; however, I am still practicing in order to master it because despite my passion for it there is still a long way before I master it. Although I do not play volleyball at school nor outside of school, I love to play it with my family. At least once a month my whole family gathers around and we have a volleyball match. I usually end up having a lot of fun and it is a great way to have a family night.
My life is built around goals and rearranges as I achieve those goals.
My short term goals include getting my Capstone Diploma, maintaining good grades in my academics, striving for success, and graduating high school. Striving for success is essential as well as graduating high school, but I feel like they are less daunting than the other two short term goals I have. Getting my Capstone Diploma will be a challenging road. It is not easy to achieve what the College Board requires for in that class, but I know that both the teacher and my determination will guide me through in order to accomplish my goal. And as for maintaining good grades in my academics I will have to turn in everything on time and study the material given in the course in order to grasp my goal. For long term goals I want to become a successful electrical and computer engineer. I know this goal will not be easy, but I feel like I have the determination and confidence that it takes to reach my
goal.
Last year my classes were delightful. I took Pre-Calculus, Introduction to Engineering, AP US History, AP Seminar, Forensics, Physics, and AP English III. I fared to maintain all A’s throughout the school year in all of my classes and as for what was my favorite subject it was physics because I fathomed the class resulting an easy class for me especially since I liked it. My favorite teacher is Mrs. Reed because she took the time to make sure her students understand, making the class nice and simple. If I could be a principal one day I would not change anything since everything in this school seems appropriate and manageable.
My preconceived ideas about dual credit include that the class will be challenging at times and we will be treated as college students precisely because it is a College course.
Frankly speaking, I believe this is a great introduction into college, so when we do enter college, we will be fully prepared for the course ahead of us. I also believe that a dual credit class will help me learn the skills I need in order to survive college. Along this path I will also gain all the responsibilities needed for college. Unlike high school, college is harder and requires more skills and responsibilities; however, dual credit classes will be the stepping stone between high school and college that will help me acquire the skills and responsibilities as
needed.
