Arizona
I was born on July 20, 2000. For the past five years I have lived in Califonia. At this point it is all I know. I remember the thought of moving scared me. I would be leaviing home and not returning. I would be leaving my friends and family behind. I might have been entering a new state but in my five year old mind, it was a whole new world. -
Losing
I was finally accepting the fact that we had to move. I was liking my school and my new house. My parents sat my sisters brother and I down and said that they had bad newa. I remember looking over at my sister,who is the strongest person I know, and seeing the tears fall from her face. I knew it was serious after that. I wasnt ready for what was about to happen. We packed all of out things and moved in with my Aunt. -
Leaving.
My dad soon became fustrated with the way we were living. He said that he was going to make things better. He ended up leaving to California. We were left in the dumpster room alone. I remember being so angry aat him. I loved him so much and at that time i just couldn't understand why he would ever leave me. -
Christmas
This is when we were very short on money and still living with my aunt. We were very grateful that we weren't living on the street. Christmas was coming by and my mom told us that we couldn't have one this year. Later to find out that we were on the giving tree at my school. I was getting charity gifts that year. I felt so embarrased and ashamed. I didn't understand how beautiful that was until later on. -
Court
My parents were born in mexico. They have been going to court for a while to get their papers. This is the time i remember. perfectly. I remember writing them a letter saying how much I love them and that everything will work itself out. It said good luck and that god will be on their side. They ended up getting their papers a couple years later. -
Moving.
My dad wanted us to be with him again. I was so excited to leave the little room to be with my dad again. We moved back to California once again. When i found out we moved just to be in another little room I was dissapointed. I was glad to be back with my dad and my other family members. I hoped this is finally where we would stay. I was wrong. We moved back to Arizona about two months after. -
Middle school
I was a very awkward shy girl when i was 12. I have always been the new girl in school and nobody really liked me. The kids at school would put things in my hair and call me all kinds of things. At one point one of the teachers jumped on the bandwagon. She made a comment and everyone laughed at it. That was a very sad and dark time for me. -
Another school
My parents didn't want me to go back to that school because of everything that was happening. I had to change schools yet again. I was worried because it was a brand new school and if the kids didn't like me it wouldn't just be because I was new. That year was great. I made a lot of new friends and got into sports like softball, volleyball and soccer. -
High school
My freshman year was dreadful. Most of my friends in middle schools went to another school. I was alone again. I was lucky enough to find a girl who I liked a lot. She was my first girlfriend and she made me so happy. I was also very dramatic at this time. I wasn't doing to good at school and I was getting into a lot of trouble. My girl and I broke up and my grades still didnt change. I decided to go online after that year -
First Job
January this year I started my first job. Every weekend I wake up at six to get ready for work. some how working makes me feel so much less lonely. It helps me be social and it really makes me happy. Although it does get overwelming at some points.
