Nothing spectacular ever happens that would make me feel home sick when I leave home. I wouldn't have a problem moving away to college. I was born in Ventura, California and I have lived in Ventura for my entire life so far. It is a great place to grow up in but not a place to start my career or life in. I am simply a bird who is anxious to leave the nest.
Overall my family is half good and half tolerable. My two brothers are the spawn of the dysfunction in my family. I don’t have many relatives either. My closest cousins are a two hour drive away and the farthest cousins are as far as Norway. As far as friends go, I only have one friend who I would have a hard time parting from. I have known her since we were little and leaving her would be hard. However, it has to happen one day.
Ventura County was always a cool town and it hosted the most amazing events. The Ventura fair grounds are my favorite because they are right next to the beach and they always hosted the Vans Warped Tour towards the end of June every year. The fair was fun too but as I grew older it wasn't as fun except for one or two concerts. Though I still enjoy going beach camping at Faria Beach right next to the water with my dad every few months. However, all this was so much more enjoyable when I was much younger. For some reason, as you grow older all the fun gets sucked out of everything you did as a child.
All my childhood favorites were slowly striped away as my family matured and moved on. It is sad to say but my family slowly grew apart as my parents divorced after ten years of happy marriage and five years of hateful marriage. Also as my older brother’s anger and physical abusive issue has grown to the conclusion that my happy childhood was officially gone. The more responsibility, the more stress and personality change occurs. All kids need to cherish their responsibility-free life style like I should have cherished mine. Time is such an illusion because in the moment you feel like everything is moving at the slowest pace but when you look back on all of you slow moments, you realize how fast your life goes by. I can even imagine that it will be the exact same feeling when I grow old and look back on my whole life.
When adults always complain about wanting to be younger and hating their aging look, it makes me realize that the same stage is just beginning for me. Everything is sugar coated in the young years of life. It is time to move away and start my life elsewhere. No more Ventura not even California. I want to movie to Maine. I want to have harsh winters. I want to have a kid who can have a cherish able childhood which won’t last long enough like everyone else’s. I am completely done with California. I am ready to face reality and officially start my career and life.
All of these cheerful events in my life ended up shaping my thoughts, dreams, goals, and future. My parents teaching me their engineering profession and their math skills has lead me to having the favorite of mathematics. Leading me to my, hopefully, successful profession of either electrical or mechanical engineering or computer programming. Even the smallest things in your life can influence your future drastically.
