Welcome to my world. I have been in a world where I think everything is going to fall apart. I have been in a world where I can’t even imagine it getting any better. When I was little my world was very different then it is now. When I was little I did not think I would do any of things I do now. I thought I would never move out of the house I grew up in. I thought you only cried when people died. I thought when people did bad things they apologized. I thought when you say, “I love you” to someone they would always said it back. This was the world I grew up in.
The world I live in now is not what I excepted. I live in Ventura, CA. A very beautiful place I would never want to leave. I was born here and raised in Oxnard, CA. I moved back here in the middle of fourth grade because of family and money reasons. My family always pushed me to try new things, meet new people, and see other places. My parents pushed me to play sports so I did. My parents pushed me to get better grades so I did. I guess you can say I'm a goodie goodie but all I really want to do in my life, in my world, is to make them proud. My father mostly…
My father is the quiet type but he wouldn't hurt a fly. My father is NOT the type of guy that hugs or talks or says "I love you." When I started playing sports; he would always watch. He would always help me out with anything he could do. I play volleyball not just for me but to make my father proud.
My mother on the other hand. She is loud and always says what's on her mind. She is the one that pushes me through school. She’s the one that pushes me to go to college because at first I did not want to go. Four more years of school? NO, THANK YOU. She showed me the reasons to push through everything that comes my way and give it my all.
This is the world I live in now. It’s where you have to do anything in your power to make others happy regardless of what you think. To make my parents proud is the goal everyday and I sure hope I accomplish it. The world I live in now is the opposite of what I thought it’d be. When I was little I couldn’t wait to grow up and be a teenager with freedom. Now I wish I could go back and be my four year old self again. My one goal In life right now is to be happy for me not anyone else. Genuinely, intensely and consistently happy, regardless of what that looks like to others. This is the world I am growing up in.
