My Life

Hello my name is Lucas Kenefick I am 16 years old and currently a softmore at Great Oak High school in Temecula California. I’m also from Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians; I am the Jr Tribal council for hour youth at Pechanga. I also play sport such as Lacrosse. I was born in the United Kingdom because my father was in the military then after two years moved to the reservation at Pechanga. Through out the years on the reservation I went to a school on the reservation for five in half years. I was the first athlete of the year and also to reach 100 miles through out the year at Chamakilawish, then graduated in 5^th grade and also the first to graduate at that school and I was very proud of those achievements. I am very competitive and will strive to get what I want to achieve. What I want to do when I get to college or work up to college is to major in arts and graphic designing. I was raised on the reservation so I was into motorcycles and playing in the dirt. Then we moved in the neighborhood and know I was introduced into the technology world as I like to call it but it will never get in the world of my culture and my family. I’m still currently learning my native language even though is hard to learn I still work my hardest to learn it. When I was in elementary school I knew a lot in my native language and use to know it fluently but when I went to middle school I stopped knowing how to speak it through out the years. But still strive to learn my culture
