Dear Mr. Villaraigosa

My name is Ronald McLoren. I am currently a senior at Phineas Banning High School in Wilmington the LAUSD. I am writing you to ask for your support in keeping the community a little more safer.

To Begin with, our cities need more police officers. Many people around the city are scared to walk the streets at night or even alone even in broad daylight. With more officers present, Crooks and gang members will be less likely to attack someone. The next thing our cities need are more street lights. We need more lights to illuminate the darker areas around the city. With more street lights and Crosswalk Lights, people will be more safer and comfortable in their own city.

We know that without both city leaders and the residents cooperating we as city cannot function. When the city and its inhabitants work together to make a better city, we all benefit. Please Help us Better our community. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Ronald McLoren

My name is Ronald McLoren. I am currently a senior at Phineas Banning High School in the LAUSD .Throughout my four years in my high school, ive seen many things that I really like about our schools and I also see things that I know that are not working in my high school.

The first thing that should be changed is

As the school strives to make more well-rounded pharmacists, service learning is a course that is considered being implemented as a required course in the curriculum. Many students have the same concerns that a new implement to the curriculum would add. When you volunteer each week, time constraints come into play. Even though it is only two-three hours each week that can add up fast for students…

Service Learning Reflection

weeks of spring break off from service learning had finally come to an end. It was time to get back to work with the students. Time has fly by quickly and we only have five weeks left of the program before the semester is over. When I was driving on the road I was reflecting and thinking back on the first day of my service site and how uncomfortable and insecure I felt about this new experience. Now however I feel confident and I think that during my time performing service at El Jardin I am slowly beginning…

Service Learning Experience

Taking part in this service learning, “The Bone Academy,” should help to introduce my classmates and I to working with children. These children will be about four and five and most probably cannot read or write yet. Teaching the four and five year old children the bones and information about the bones should be an interesting, but also somewhat challenging task for this reason. Even though some parts of this service learning may be difficult and others easy, I am sure that it will be a great experience…

Service Learning Reflection

To state, the learning service hours for Spanish was nonetheless an enriching experience for me. Though I did have some advantage when coming into the class being a Hispanic myself, I must say when it came to speaking the language I would grow very timid because in all honesty I may be aware of what people say in Spanish, but actually bringing myself to speak is a whole other story. Yet, through the service learning component I was able to learn to speak confidently because even though I could be…
