I am the forgotten child in my family, I never get questioned on what I want to do in life or simply how was school. I moved so many times that I can't even count, I never had a best friend for more than a year cause I moved. My only best friend was my dog, Roxy. I have a mother and father who been together for 20 years and two older brothers. Both sides of my parents family do not like me because of my race, so I don't know them as well or if I do know them I get criticized. My oldest half brother has Schizophrenia and the second oldest brother is completely stingy and selfish that we don't even speak.
My mother who was born in California thinks I will not make it in life and will end up like her, 16 pregnant with no boyfriend, out of high school and no job. My father born in Arkansa wants the best for me, that does not want me to end up like my brothers not knowing what to do in life, but does not want me to go straight to college.
As my mother has criticize me everyday and thinking that I am not as intelligent just a woman with sex traits had given me strength to change my world and shut people words out and turn them into positive things. Her words has actually make me work hard for what I want. I am starting to read more books that i never got the chance to read, having a job I love, not being pregnant, almost 17 and having no boyfriend. With being shut out in my family, I am starting to join clubs in school such as the GSA, the Gay Straight Alliance, Care Club, a karate club, being a peer tutor next year, volunteering at an animal shelter in El Cajon to get more excelled in my future major, Veterinary Medicine and doing sports such as Track and Field, Cross Country and Field Hockey.
Being shut out and alone it had made me a rude and violent person that I did not want one person to talk to me or I will go completely off. However, high school changed me so much that I open up to people, listen to their problem and give them advice, being nice and caring and actually be able to smile. Even though I was outcasted in my family and thought wrong of, it had opened doors for me on wanting to help others and animals and inspired me to be a leader for other students.
