My Past, Present, and Future

Comparing my past to my present I see a huge difference. My past was always about joining a soccer team, spending money at the mall, or looking for excitement with my friends. I never had to worry about anything because my mother was always there for me. She did teach us about responsibility, manners and all that great other stuff and I must say even though my mother was a single parent raising my siblings and I, she did a great job. I grew up with two older brothers and an older sister. I was the youngest of the four. I was born in Thousand Oaks, California and raised in Moorpark. I am a very social person and get along with pretty much everyone. I always worked in the morning and went out all night. After high school I had decided to take a break from school and decided to just work. I now see that, was my biggest mistake.

My present life feels different because of all the responsibility I now have. I currently attend Oxnard College as a full time student. I am a certified dental assistant and been working in the dental field for 4 years now. I recently stopped working so I can attend school and still have time for my kids. I have a three year old daughter named Destiny and a one year old son named Robert. My kids are my biggest challenge in life but I am determined to give them a great future. Whenever times get hard I know I can always depend on my family to help me. I must admit one thing, I am a very independent person. There are times I might need something but refuse to ask anyone for help I would rather keep trying to get it myself.

In my future, I hope a lot of things are different. For one I hope to get into the dental hygiene program. Getting into the program would make me feel like as if I have accomplished my most important goal. I always thought that by the time I was thirty years old I would buy a house. I might not be buying a house soon but I am heading towards the right path to get there. A lot of people have a timeline of when and how they want their future to go, I on the other hand don’t. I just know that I want to be better than now. Bigger and better opportunities will come my way. That will be when I make my decisions.
