Summary of my life

    I was born and raised in Mexico until the age of 15. I come from a family of six, two older brothers and my twin sister. I am the youngest of the family since I was born twenty minutes after my sister was born, the funny thing is that my parents didn’t know that they were having twins, so they were kind of shock when I  showed up. My childhood was somewhat difficult because you can say that we were raised without my dad because since I was born he would always come to the U.S. to work. He would only go back for 2 or 3 weeks during the whole year and there were times where he would take longer to go back. I remember I would always see my friends with their dad and this was something that made me sad. I was already used to only see him for a short period of time, but then finally after like 10 years he had requested for residency for all of us they approved it. So at the age of 15 I was forced to come to this country, I remember I was not happy at all even though we were going to finally be all together. I remember coming into high school, I really hated it. I just wanted to go back to my old friends, my old school. Little by little I started making new friends; the only hard thing was the language. I remember I would get frustrated because I didn’t understand a single word at first. There was always that one person who would always make fun of you when you made mistakes trying to say something. So, for the most part I would just go, do my work and I would rarely talk to anybody. I finished high school and decided to attend Oxnard College. I was attending college when I started working a full time job. I started to do bad in some of my classes so I just decided to stop for a while. The idea was just to stop only one or two semesters. A mistake I made because these two semesters became four years until last semester that I finally decided go back to school.
    Currently I am still working a full time job, but trying to manage my time properly to try to do good in my classes. My idea is to get my AA and go from there, I know that education is the only key to get somewhere in life. I only have a few more classes to go to be able to graduate from college. Besides working and attending college I try to keep myself busy doing things that I love. Definitely something that I really enjoy doing is playing soccer, I have played soccer all my life and the other would be music. I can spend hours just listening to music, it takes my mind to other places. Whenever I need sometime for myself or just to relax I just put on my headphones and forget about everything.

    In the future I would like transfer to a four year university to get a degree that is going to get me a better paying job.
