I was born right here in Ventura, California, February 24, of 2000. Although I was born here I didn't grow up here. I lived in Simi Valley, Oxnard, and Thousand Oaks. I also lived in Washington state also. I lived with my dad, step mom, and grandma. My dad got divorced, my real mother was put In a recovery house, so I lived with my grandma for a little while.
Moving accrued a lot in my life. It was like every year I lived somewhere new. Having your parents work all the time is hard. Especially when you're home alone with your drug addict brother. My brother would always tell me " it's my life, my choice", when I tried and helped him. But what he doesn't understand when his choices affect my life it now becomes our life. My brother has messed up a lot in his life, and I would not life to follow in his path. But too me it doesn't matter where I live or who ai live with, my goals and dreams in life will remain the same.
My ability of strength, and courage are brought out in my when times get tough. Yes not living with both parents is difficult but it doesn't take away from how much they love me and there high expectations they have for me. My parents are the main reason why I go to Foothill Technology High School, and why I do so well in school. They have showed me they anything is possible, although it might not seem like it. Although my past might not be the brightest my future is even brighter.
I will be the first in my family to do something big with my life. The one to graduate high school, and have the option to go to college. My parents and my brother weren't even given that option. It's like they have my future planned out for me, going to college and spending the next 10 years of my life behind a school desk. But I'm not sure what I want to do with my life yet. There are so many options, I don't want to be tied down to just one.
I want to do something spectacular with my life. If I have to go to college to do so then I will, but I want to live my life with many adventures. Instead of learning about the world, I want to travel it! So college might not be perfect for me right now but who knows I could end up really wanting to go to college. All in all I know whatever choice I decide to do with my life it will be the right one.
