I was born on fifteenth of May, 2001 in Oxnard but most of my life happened in the surrounding cities that make up ventura county. It would be a lie to say my life has been absolutely perfect, even though some times it has, but really it’s got a good amount of problems. The first of these problems started when I was born early and caused lots of stress in my family. The real problems happened was the consequences of being born early that included six months in a nicu, had various illnesses, and near death experiences. The biggest problem that determined my life was when my parents got divorced.
I’ll never know what a “true” family is like but I know I have to accept the fact that my parents are divorced and I have to live that life. That life is not always carefree though for one of the aspects of having divorced parents is living at different houses. This was dreadful for quite some time because I hated going to my dad's house and I would hide under my bed till I was pulled out. Through this and every other event in my life I had a eleven month younger brother named max to be their with me and carry the burden of this life. The next hardest part of this life was my step-mom who now I would not consider her evil but till I was fourteen, I would. During this time we did excessive chores, and were talked about badly from swearing to discriminating me and my brother.
My life sure had its bad moments but still had plenty of good parts. Both of my parents have been very involved with my education, and I have no doubt that this is one of the best thing they could have done for me. They got me into a relaxed first years of school that got me to love learning, not grades. Besides school they show me many different careers to see what I want to do with my life through documentaries and taking me places like JPL (jet propulsion laboratory). Even though their are some negative parts to to my family my parents always provide me with the help I need and all the caring support they can.
This situation may not seem the best but in the end I came out with two very important things. One was determination, even though times were hard and people were bad I was determined to not let this chapter of my life affect my future. Also the push for learning at an early age made me embrace learning and love it rather than pushing it away and despising it. This made me strive to best I can academically and to apply to Foothill tech, where I go now. Now in high school I plan to use what I have learned to get whats required and more out of it and to get into a great four year university where I can pursue my desired profession of engineering.
