Even though many years have passed, I can still remember my childhood like if it was yesterday. When I was a couple months old we went to live in a small ranch in Somis. In that small ranch is where all my past childhood memories are. I never had neighbors or any kids to play with that were my age. I can only remember having my older sister to play with. Later my two younger sisters were born. I attended a small School a few minutes away from my home from Kindergarten all the way to 8th grade. After graduating from 8th grade, I attended Camarillo High School. By the time I was done with high school, I had got a job at Fed Ex where I worked for almost two years. I then quit my job at Fed Ex after realizing that I didn’t have a successful future working in a warehouse. I knew then that in order to have a better future I had to return to school. I had always hated school and wanted a fast career, so I then began attending Medical Career Services to become a Medical Assistant.
Today I am 22 years old and I still live in that small ranch in Somis with my family. I have a wonderful boyfriend that I appreciate for always being there for me. Also, I am working full time as Medical Assistant for a Podiatrist. Even though I love working as a Medical Assistant, I have returned to college for an even better future. It is my second semester as a full time student at Oxnard College. Sometimes it gets very difficult for me since my job does not work with my school schedule, yet I don’t let my job interfere with my goals. To this point, every morning I wake up very proud of myself for all that I have accomplished and for never giving up or settling for less.
Although I have many plans for my future, I am still indecisive on which career to pursue. I know that I want to continue working in the medical field but I’m still not sure if to either become a Registered Nurse or Radiology Tech. In my future I can see myself happily married with three kids and a great career. All I want is for my kids to have everything I didn’t have as a child due to financial issues. I know life is not perfect and maybe everything will not happen like I plan, but for now I will continue to fight with life’s obstacles and I will never give up on my dreams.
