My Past, Present, and Future

            My past was not as excited as others but I liked how it turn out to be. I come from a small rural town from south Mexico called Tlaxiaco. It was a really good place to live but my family decided to move to Baja California, in north Mexico. By then, I was six years old. In Ensenada, I went to school from first to eight grade. My life was as normal as any kid. I have two brothers and six sisters, a big family. With each one of then I have a different relationship. With my parents, I have a better relationship with my mom than my father. My father was living in US and he only came to visit us two or three times a month. On other hand, my mom was always there, when I needed. At the age of thirteen, I started to work in the harvest of spices, tomatoes, and vegetables. It was a very hard job, but it was the only way I could buy things that my mom could not afford. My mom told us that it was time to see my father. It was the mean reason why we came to US. Although now I have a better relationship with him, it is not the way I would liked to have. After we arrived, I got into Pacifica High School. At the beginning, it was very difficult because of the language. I have to work harder than the regular student just to pass a class. I graduated from Pacifica High School in 2010.

            I am 20 years old and will turn 21 in three months. There are not a lot of things I like to do. On the Saturday my family use to go to eat burritos. Then on Sunday mornings I like to go run in the park and sometimes at the beach. My present is based on my education and job. I am working in a plant nursery. My job is to cut back and water the celery. Sometimes I deliver the plants to the fields. I am also attending to Oxnard College. My major is accounting, since math is the subject I liked. In this semester I am only taking two classes because I do not have enough time. The main reason why I am not taking more classes is because I am buying a home in Mexico.

            I do not know how my future will be. There are two things I want. They are to have my own home and to get my college degree. Both of them are important to me and I am sure I will achieve it. I want to get a bachelor degree on accounting. My goal is to transfer to Northridge. For myself, I do not think to get merry soon but who knows. If it happens, I want to have one or two kid. On the other hand, I want to get back to the place where I was born and see my grandparents who I have not seen in 14 years.
