A Letter to Me

Favorite Family Memory

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.

Favorite School Memory

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.

What I Accomplished and Am Most Proud of

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.

Things in My Life that are Most Important to me Now

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.

Things that I am Worried about Now

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.

Things I Like to Do and Spend Time on Now

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.

Career goal I Hope to Achieve in the Future

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.

Relationship and Family Plans for the Future

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.
