Past, Present, Future


    In general, I consider myself to have a very poor memory of my childhood. Usually, recalling things from my past can be quite difficult let alone writing about it. I was Born in Ventura and have lived in Oxnard all of my life.  The first thing I can ever remember wanting to be when I grow up was a Paleontologist in kindergarten because I was obsessed with the Jurassic Park movies. Since then it has changed multiple times. Most of my elementary school was competed at Christa McAuliffe School and I am happy to be able to say that many of my best friends today I met there.  During this time in my life I began playing Soccer for AYSO and spent most of my time at the after school program with my friends. Later, I attended Fremont Jr. High which went by faster than anything I can remember. What I remember most about Jr. High is listening to a lot music and really connecting with the lyrics and rhythms in songs.  I fell in love with volleyball when I began playing for Oxnard High School during my freshmen year. High  School was a roller coaster of good and bad, and in all honesty I did not attend as much as I should have.  
    Currently, I spend most of my time at work. I have been working for Best Buy since I was 17. The rest of my time I am spending at school, this semester I am taking twelve units at Oxnard College. In my free time I enjoy taking my dogs to the dog park next to the college, meeting up with my run club, and going to the beach. I am also taking a lot of time planning out my next steps in my education. I am majoring in Art Management and am planning to transfer next fall hopefully to Cal State Fullerton. 
    I change my mind so often that its really hard to imagine the future. As of right now I predict to being attending Cal State Fullerton one year from now and graduating with a Bachelors in Art Management two years after that. From there I would like to relocate to San Diego and work for the San Diego Zoo as a Curator or something similar. Eventually, I would like to travel to Ireland and possibly move there either for a couple of years or for good. And of course like everyone I hope to one day meet someone special, fall in love, get married, and start a family. Its all sounds so serious and scary, so I'm glad all of that wont be for a long time.
