You might not always end up where you thought you were going, but you will always end u where you are meant to be. I was born on October 29th 2000 in Nochistlan Zacatecas Mexico. It is a small town in the middle of mexico where my family has lived for a long time, almost all my family lives there. When i turned 6 months old my dad moved from Mexico to the US to find work. I didn't know what my dad looked liked until I was 3 and a half. When i was 3 my dad sent my mom a letter that said that my mom and I should come to the US with him because we would have a better life there. My mom told me that she was hesitant at first but that she agreed because she hadn't seen my him in a long time and that way I would see him. I still remember when I fell asleep on the car ride to where my dad was staying and how when i woke up and the first thing i saw was my dad and I had no idea who he was. My dad lived in San Francisco at the time so that was where i lived from ages 3 and a half to 4 and a half, when i turned 4 my dads job closed down so he went out looking for work he found a job working on motorcycle seats in Ventura so we moved and we have lived here since. My day to day life had a schedule from when I was in kindergarten untill middle school it was strictly, go to school get home, do homework, play soccer and sleep I had very good grades and was in the advanced program at school called Gate.
Once I got to middle school everything changed...I was having problems figuring out what to do with myself and school. I started heading down the wrong path. I had mostly Fs in my classes and I was hanging out with the wrong crowd. I had started doing things I wasn't supposed to I pretty much fit perfectly the stereo type of a teenager, before i even was one. I was being a rebel and smoking weed. I payed no attention to anything or anyone, I did what I wanted when I wanted and if I got in trouble I just waited out the punishment or found my way around it. This is how my life was until the end of 8th grade when I had to do community service as a punishment at the E.P Foster library downtown and I met Jane Middleton the teen librarian and this girl i really didnt like because she was a goody two shoes. Her and the girl i didn't like took me and they turned me around and made me stop what I was doing, pay attention in school and try as hard as i could to stay away from my old friends and pay attention to my parents. Now I am one of the head volunteers at the library and help run the teen group. The girl I didn't like (her name is Carla) is now my best friend and my neighbor. Also my Grades are a lot better and I do what I'm supposed to do thanks to my best friend, the teen librarian and my family with all the support and work they put in to me made me what I am today. A normal kid that loves music and does what he needs to do. This is what made me, me. You only live life once and even if the choices you make at first aren't that great learn from them and move on and make every moment count, you don't have time to waste.
