June 30th 2001 I was brought into this world, what a strange but awesome place to be. Ive lived in Ventura my whole life, I've played baseball here since I was about 5 or 6 years old. Ive made plenty of friends upon growing up and I've kept some of the best friendships ever since kindergarten. I have a big loving, caring family, even though I don't get to see a percentage of them very often it’s awesome to have such a huge family.
I guess you could say i'm a pretty average kid, and sometimes I forget how easy I have it. The reason I say that is because there are some families in the U.S. that are struggling financially and I know that's hard because my family have been through that too. There are even families that don't get to have 3 meals a day or have clean water to drink. So whenever I want something but I don't get it I get pretty pissed off (depending on how badly I want it) i have to stop and think about those kids that rarely get anything they want because of the situation they are currently in.
I once met this kid a while back who is one of my best friends now who I had invited over to my house to just hangout with me and a few of my friends. When he first walked into my room he was almost “mesmerized” by how much crap I had. And in my opinion I called all my stuff crap is because I never really used them or they just didn't entertain me, I guess. But the look on his face when he first saw all the stuff I had was almost like he had just won the lottery. He was surprised about how many games I had and even how much clothes was in my closet. My friends were kind of freaked out at first but I just told them to keep their mouths shut. I even thought to myself like does he not have clothes or something, no games, nothing?? But one day when he had invited me to his house I finally realized why he was the way he was when he first saw all my “Crap” it was because he didn't have half the amount of stuff I did. I just remember how bare his room was, he didn't have a TV, no games, no movies, nothing. I mean he had clothes but again not as much as I did.
Till this day I know my parents raised me right because I know some people don't have it as easy as I do. And they say “I know your life is soo rough, just think about other kids in the world first” So now that I'm older I can kind of understand where they are coming from.
