Jocy.

I am an 11th grader who attends Linda Marquez High School. I am a hard worker at school. I try to be as involved as I can, such as being in part of school clubs. I am also in the school's varsity basketball team. I love basketball, Thai tea, and Italian food. I hope to attend UCLA after graduating high school. I wish to have a successful career as a doctor. I am a very optimistic person. I was blessed with the best people in the world, which i am lucky to call my family and friends. I wish nothing but the best for myself, and i am excited for the future!

Summary/ Reflection


Summary: Grandparents of a young girl kept her locked in their apartment bathroom. She was only allowed out of the bathroom to attend school or for special occasions, such as a visit from a family member. They kept her in horrible conditions and only provided a blanket for the poor child. This horrible practice lasted six long years. When psychologist examined her, they evaluated her to be normal. This older couple had various felonies charged against them.

 Reflection: It is shocking to think that grandparents are capable of mistreating their grandchildren. To think that an innocent little girl has been trapped in a bathroom for six years is devastating. Thinking of the living conditions she was in is sad. The only thing I could think of is that in those six years this child should have been enjoying her childhood instead of being locked in a filthy bathroom. No one can give her back those six years and she has to live with the memory of that traumatizing experience. This man and women deserve to be punished. It is definitely not right to treat their grandchild inhumanely.
