How Did we Even come to America Anyway?:

How Did we Even come to America Anyway? Little is known about our family’s past or excactly what part of Italy we came from. All that I personally know is that our famlily immagarated from Italy in the later 1800’s possibly the early 1900’s. When we arrived in America it is believed that we went though either Ellis or Angel Island inorder to start our new lives as immagrants. We where very poor and we probly lived in a industrial part of town and workded in a factory to survive. This really inspires me because it takes true courage to go to a new world and survive with no money and having all that you own in a suit case.

My Family Tree:

My Family Tree My family tree was made around 8 years ago so everyone in the pictures now is a lot older. The man in the center is my Great Grandfather, Salvatore Rocci . This timeline was made for him for his 80 th birthday. Even though the timeline illustrates a small portion of my family , I really like how it gives an idea on how big my Italian family really is.

A summary of my family’s Health:

A summary of my family’s Health After studying my family tree and following my family’s health I found that I have extremely high risks of inheriting diseases later on in life because of my family history. ( Unfourtantly this is because I am female). I know this for a fact because my great Grandfather had thyroid disease and was a carrier Graves disease which only affects women aged from their early 20’s to their 50’s down to my mother. Grave’s disease is a life threatening disease which, like cancer, cannot be fought with out large amounts of radiation. M y mother was diagnosed when she was twenty two years old. It is believed that my mother had inherited the disease from my great grandfather . I am horrified to know that I am a carrier for such a devastating disease . This means I can easily pass thyroid disease to my son or daughter during pregnancy. I am also shocked to know that I have a 50% chance of acquiring the disease myself later on in life . Another decease that I have to look out for is ovarian cancer. This disease really scares me and all the women in my family have at least a 10 % chance of being diagnosed with this devastating cancer . Knowing what I know now , I am truly frightened about the diseases I can acquire from my family’s past. I am truly lucky that I have been educated about these diseases so I know how to prevent them from affecting me in the future.

My personal study habits :

My personal study habits I believe that over a period of 5 days I would study for about 5 hours or a hour a day. I unfortunately have a very bad procrastination habit and I personally find it very challenging to focus only on one thing. I have mild attention deficit disorder or ADD and I find it hard often to focus when there is other things in the room to distract me such as my phone or a conversation going on in the next room. I found that my usual one hour of studying I can usually pass my tests with a “C” or a “B” grade . Next year for my senior year I plan to apply myself more to my studying and not give in to procastination. I believe that if I have the right focus and determination I will be able to pass all my classes with a “A” next semeste r.

MY Sleep Habits :

MY Sleep Habits On a average school week I find that I get about 45 hours of sleep or 9 hours a night. This means I receive the right amount of sleep to be alert and have my body function properly. ( The average teenager needs between 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night)To be able to get the amount of sleep my body desires I find that I usually am in bed by 9:30 and asleep by 10. ( I wake up at 5:30 each morning to get ready for school). I am personally very satisfied with the amount of sleep I receive during a school week and I plan to follow my sleep routine my senior year.

My Television , Phone ,& Computer Use Per Night :

My Television , Phone ,& Computer Use Per Night Like most teenagers living in today’s society ,I am personally very addicted to my cell phone , I-Pod and other electronics that I own. I estimate that I spend at least 60 hours using a machine during my school week. I believe that this is a unacceptable amount of time I’m wasting using my cell phone and Nintendo D.S when I can be using more useful things with my time such as training for Kung –Fu , playing with my pets, doing homework, or going outside. I believe that I spend way too much time on electronics and wasting too many hours of my day. To stop my addcition to my electronics, I am currnetly forcing myself to use items such as my D.S and I- pod less often and spending my time more productivly . My goal is to only use my phone and D.S for only four hours a day. I believe that once I reach my goal I will be a much happier person both physically and mentally.

My total from Each and overall totals.:

My total from Each and overall totals. Subject : ) Fitness Testing ) Studying ) Sleep ) TV, Computer , & Phone Use Hours I spent : 1.) When it comes to fitness I spend atleast 8 hours a week at Kung – Fu . I found that I was able to pass the fitness tests with ease. 2.) When it comes to studying I only spend about one hour a night on each subject . That’s not nearly enough studying if I want to pass my classes my senior year. My goal is to study for two and a half hour each night for my classes. 3.) I get about 9 hours of sleep each night. That’s excatly how much sleep my body needs to stay healthy. 4.) I used to spend about 45 hours a week using electronics . That’s about 9 hours a day over a 5 day week!! My goal is to cut down my electronic use to 4 hours a day and fin more producitve uses for my time.

My Emotional and Social Health:

My Hobbies & Talents : :

My Hobbies & Talents : Kung –Fu : I have been training in shaolin Kung – Fu for almost 6 years. I am only 1 level away from my black –belt and I am very excited to be so close to finally receiving my goal. Arts and Crafts : I have been doing arts and crafts ever since I was a little girl with my grandmother. I love doing art because of the fond memories arts and crafts brings . I love to use polymer clay to create sculptures and write poetry and stories in my journal. Going out to eat : One of my favorite things to do is to eat out at restaurants . I really like the ability to get out of the house and spend time with my family as well as having the ability to choose what I want to eat . What I like the most about restaurants however, is the chance to be able to try new foods from all over the world. For example , m y favorite food right now is sushi or Pho ( Vietnamese rice noodle soup) .

My Pets ::

My Pets : My Cat : My Lizard : This is my cat Shadow . He is a Ragdoll Burman. His breed is called a “Ragdoll” because their bodies go limp when you pick them up. This is my bearded dragon lizard Gordy. Gordy is called a bearded dragon because he has the ability to inflate his throat to look like a giant beard when he is angry or frightened .

Traveling (My Favorite Trip ) : Lake Shasta:

Traveling (My Favorite Trip ) : Lake Shasta Every August My family and I take the long , torturous 16 hour drive to Redding California to go house boating for two weeks on lake Shasta .While on the lake I usually go wake boarding , water skiing , hiking , tubing, fishing , and swimming . What I love about Shasta the most however is the family time. It is not very often that families get to sit around and talk, play board games and enjoy each other's company. There is never a dull moment on the water . For example one time my family decided to dock our boat on a really muddy shore. Next thing we know we where all knee deep in mud trying to get the boat from getting stuck it was really hard freeing the boat but there was a lot of laughter and afterwards a huge mud fight. (That was the best part.)

My Closest Friends :

My Closest Friends This is my best friend in the world Ilia. Ilia and I have been best friends for 5 years now and I consider her to be my sister. Ilia has a special talent for helping out others and making them feel special. People are just naturally drawn to liking and trusting her. Ilia and I will always be there for each other though the good and the bad times and I know she will never let me down. I am very lucky I met Ilia. She is defiantly a true friend for life. This is my really good friend Carlos. Carlos is a amazing person who looks for the good in everyone and makes friends with ease. Even though Carlos is from Peru and sometimes gets his English mixed up when he is talking , he is always a great listener and he always tries to give good advice when you have a problem My boyfriend John is defiantly one of my closest friends. John and I have also in common and we find that we can talk for hours on the phone until way past curfew ( ooops) . John never fails to make me smile and he always goes out of his way to make me happy no matter where we are. What I find most endearing about John is his loyalty to me. John has stayed by my side though every bump in our relationship and he constantly tries to better himself to be a better boyfriend to me. I am really lucky I have someone like John as my boyfriend .

The schools I have attended in the past ::

The schools I have attended in the past : 1.) This is Lakeside Farms elementary school . I only attended my kindergarten year at this school. 2.) This is Benito Juarez elementary school.

Benito Juarez Elementary 3.) Lewis Middle school 4.) Rancho Bernardo High School

Clubs I am in or want to Join. :

Clubs I am in or want to Join. I am currently in the Link Crew at Rancho Bernardo High School. I chose to be in link crew because I like the fact that I have the ability to help freshmen succeed in high school and make new friends in the process. When school starts however , I would like to join the vegetarian club and the animal rescue club. I believe that because this is my senior year it is really important that I get as involved as I can on campus.

MY Health Triangle:

MY Health Triangle PHYSICAL 85 80 72 Age 17 I believe that I am slightly above average physical condition. I swim daily, do Kung Fu three times a week, and I eat a vegetarian diet. My family eats extremely healthy, but I tend to have a sweet tooth and have been trying to eat less sugary goodness. Socially I feel that I get along well with almost everybody, and have a lot of really good acquaintances, but only consider a few people close friends. My mental health score is the lowest due to my dad being away for an extended period of time, and my boyfriend enlisting in the Marines. I am seeing a therapist to help me learn to adjust to changes in life. SOCIAL Emotional I love to make new friends. I am one level away from black belt in Kung – Fu. I am very determined to accomplish my dreams and wont let anything stand in my way .

M y picture time line .:

M y picture time line . My time line goes from my birth to now however I had to skip some years because I was not sure of the date or the place the photograph was taken. Unfortunately there was a problem with the scanner this being the best copy. I hope you are able to read it .

My Personal crest:

My Personal crest 1.) M y greatest personal achievement was when I passed my math class this year. This is a huge deal for me because I have always struggled with math so when I passed my math class with a “C” this year I almost cried. 2.) My happiest moment was when I held my bother in my arms when he was first born. I was so excited I even put on my best dress just to meet him. He took almost 24 hours to be born but I was determined to stay by her side the whole time. My brother is the best gift that anyone has ever given me. 3.) I believe that my family’s greatest achievement is the fact that we are all so close even though we are spit up all over the world. For example, one of my cousins is currently living in France with her husband. I love it when we all get together because of the stories that are told of everyone's experiences. I think its amazing how we are able to connect and talk to one another even though we are all thousands of miles apart from each other. 4.) What I can personally d o better would be to listen to my mom. I often do what I want to do with out first stopping to think about asking my mom for permission. This causes the trust between us to be broken. I want to have a strong amount of trust with my mom so I will listen to her needs more often than to my own. 5.)If I had one year to live and could have instant success I would go to the bottom of the ocean in a submarine. ( I want to study the abyss as a marine Biologist) I would also like to travel the world because I have always been fascinated by other cultures . 6.) MY friends say I'm brazen, cocky and confident. 7.) My full name is Alyssa Ashley Villegas

My song  :

My song  The song I chose is the Knee Deep By the Zach Brown Band. I believe that this song represents me because its my dream to spend all day in the ocean as a marine biologist. I t would be wonderful working and making a career off something that I love . To me the ocean is paradise. I also think this song relates to me because I love relaxing and taking it easy with the people that I love . The song also talks about not having a care in the world. I believe that if you truly love what you do your job becomes your passion and you can have fun doing something you love your whole life not having a care in the world. Knee Deep Lyrics by The Zach Brown Band Gonne put the world away for a minute Pretend I don't live in it Sunshine going to wash my blues away Had sweet love but I lost it She Got too close so I fought it Now I'm lost in the world trying’ to find me a better way Wishing' I was Knee deep in the water somewhere got the blue sky, breeze and it don't seem fair the only worry in the world is the tide going to reach my chair Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky never been so happy never felt so high and I think I might've found me my own kind of paradise Wrote a note, said "Be back in a minute" Bought a boat and I sailed off in it Don't think anybody's gonna miss me anyway Mind on a permenant vacation The ocean is my only medication Wishin' my condition ain't ever gonna go away Now I'm knee deep in the water somewhere Got the blue sky breeze blowin' wind thru my hair Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky never been so happy never felt so high and I think I might've found me my own kind of paradise This champagne shore watchin' over me It's a sweet sweet life livin' by the salty sea One day you can be as lost as me Change your geography and maybe you might be Knee deep in the water somewhere got the blue sky breeze blowin' wind thru my hair only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky never been so happy never felt so high and I think I might've found me my own kind of paradise Come on in the waters nice find yourself a little slice grab a backpack otherwise you'll never know until you try when you lose yourself you find a key to paradise [

The person who made a huge positive impact on my life.:

The person who made a huge positive impact on my life. One person who made a huge impact on my life is my Kung –Fu teacher Sifu Mario. My Sifu has made a positive impact on my life because he was there for me during a time I had a low, shattered , self –esteem from being horribly bullied at my middle school. Once I had started Kung -Fu I was often confused and horrible at memorization witch is essential for lower level belts. Sifu , however, never gave up on me and did everything in his power to help me succeed. One of the things that Sifu did for me was give me one on one private lessons every Friday so I can improve my skills. The one on one lessons not only helped me with my Kung- Fu but also helped me with my self –esteem as well. I believe that if it wasn’t for Sifu Mario I would not be where I am today . Going to Sifu’s Kung- Fu class gave me a positive attitude and the confidence that wil lstick with me for the rest of my life.

My Letter to Sifu Mario:

My Letter to Sifu Mario

Where I see myself in the next 3,5,& 10 years:

Where I see myself in the next 3,5,& 10 years In the next three years I can see myself studing at UCSD for my bachelor’s degree on marine sciences. If I am lucky I will be moved out of my parent’s house and living in a apartment or a dorm with some roomates. I will continue to remain close to my family and visit every weekend, birthday, and holiday. In the next 5 years I can see myself in my own apartment working and going to school full time. I probalbly will also have roomates. My goal is to be living at the beach near the water so I can go to the ocean to surf and do reasearch. It is my dream to work for scripps Ocanography program especialy since I would be a student of UCSD. In ten years I hope to be married and have my PH.D in marine sciences. It is also my goal to live comfortably on a little house on the water without worrring about debt or living pay check to paycheck like so many Americans today. I also would plan to start having c hildren of my own . I would also visit my family often coming overt for holidays , birthdays and whenver I get a chance.

If I can only accomplish one goal in life… :

If I can only accomplish one goal in life… If I can only accomplish one thing in my life I would hope to accomplish living in total happiness. I want to live in total happiness because I believe that life is short and we should spend all our time doing what we love instead of stessing about money and material goods. I personally would be more content livng in a small dirty apartment with a loving husband than living in a huge manson with someone I don’t love. Money doesn’t buy my happiness. I would reach total happiness in my life when I have my dream dog , a nice modest house , and a husband that treats me nicely. Besides becoming a marine biologist being happy and content with my life is my number one goal.

My opinion on the media:

My opinion on the media The media in my opinion has no controll over my choices in music , clothing or activities. The reason I don’t let the media take over my choices is because I want to be able to wear what I want and be my own person with out stressign over trends and fashion “Do’s and Don’ts “ . In my opinion following trends in fashion , music and activities is really ignorent because trends are constaintly changing. I think people would be happiest if they wore and did whatever what they wanted to instead of stressing over the next big trend that the media brings out to the public /
