I am going to write about my past, present and future. I don’t like to talk about my past. My past was really challenging and difficult. I grew up in Oxnard and from kindergarten thru 3rd grade I went to a privet school in Oxnard. My mom was always so proud of me I was getting good grades and had a great attitude. Life was great and seemed easy. For fourth grade though I went to a public school and that’s when all my troubles started. At first I was the smartest kid in class because I went to privet school. After a while though I guess I got into the wrong crowed and I guess you can say I dumbed myself down to be cool. It was like that till I was in middle school. In seventh grade though I had a bunch of problems at the school I was at and I was forced to move to a school in Ventura by where my mom worked. I didn’t know anyone there I was starting over. I still got bad grades and still got in with the wrong crowd. Off to high school I went still doing badly until my junior year I came back to Oxnard for school and starting over again but this time I got into the right crowd and this time I was getting a 3.0. I ended up graduation my senior year with a 3.5gpa and everything was great. I found I was pregnant August 2012. I attended college and my first semester was a piece of cake my second semester I took two classes as I was due February. I had my son Jacob February 7 2013 and it was the happiest day ever. I did though end up dropping my classes though. School just got hard.
My present is pretty much y son my whole life is based around him. I do everything for him. I am attending Oxnard College and I work part time at Kohl’s. I love working there but I do have a shopping problem. Since I work there I do get the perks of doubling up coupons an always getting a great deal just recently I bough 7 pairs of Nikes for $52.65. Yes I know you can’t believe it but yes that was my exiting shopping day. My son is 18months and growing everyday he is though a big troublemaker. I have my 4year old dog Bella she’s a yorkie and I just call her my older child. She is my company and always there when I need her. I also have a 2-year-old sister. Her name is Victoria and she is 8 months older than my son. As you can imagine it is a crazy household as I still live with my mom. They are always fighting all the time. I love them all so much and wouldn’t trade it for the world.
My future I see nothing but great things happening for me. I see myself graduating and getting my AA and then transferring to CSUCI to stay close by to home. After I get my degree in Liberal arts I do want to be a high school teacher. I see myself living in my own place with my son and my dog. I want my son to have the life I didn’t have but my mom tried giving me. I don’t want any other children for a while maybe no more who knows. I know though where my life is going I will accomplish my goals and will do great in life and teaching my son that hard works pays off and maybe after he’s done needing me he will take care of me.
This is Jacob my son.
This is Victoria my little sister.
My older child bella.
