My favorite family memory is when I saw my mom return to me in Mexico from the U.S. after being gone for a year and a half. I remember coming out of my grandmother’s house in Galiana and seeing my mother for the first time in many months, which for a 4 year old seems like and eternity without his mother. I am positively convinced that was the happiest I have ever felt in my entire life.
My favorite school memory was when I was in the 5th grade and I met the most wonderful teacher ever, Ms. Browning. She was my reading teacher. Even though I cannot say I learned too much in her class, I can say I sure learned to dream.
I am most proud of myself for turning my life around for the better. Before, I was constantly being drawn in the wrong direction. Now I try to stay away from any negative influences and also try to do my best in all my activities. I believe in myself more and I am always respectful towards others.
The most important things in my life now, are my family, friends, and loved ones. Even though I don’t have any family close by, except for my sister, I try to stay close with my family in Mexico and other parts of the U.S. My sister and I have a great relationship; she is my best friend and also a great rolemodel I can follow. I also have many close friends I am fairly close to.
The one thing that worries me more than anything else in the world is the thought of going back to jail. I would rather be dead than locked up in a cage like an animal again. Just the thought of being incarcerated sends a chilling tremor through my very bones.
In this point in time, talking to girls is about my favorite thing to do and what I spend a lot of my free time doing. I usually only talk to one female at a time, but since I do not have a girlfriend, I have a little more leniency with my morals. It is fun and entertaining to talk on the phone with girls. I love learning new things about people and this gives me a great opportunity.
I expect to achieve my goal of becoming a successful lawyer. If I do not become a lawyer, I will probably be doctor or a scientist of some sort. I believe myself an intelligent individual and I am certain I will accomplish what I have set out to do.
My relationship with my family is great. Besides my sister I do not really see any of my family since they are all in Mexico, out of state, or way across state. I know good family relationships are essential for a happy life, and since I want nothing less, I try to do my best to keep them intact.
