Autobiography


On January 19, 1989,
I was born in the city of
Santa Ana, California.
Lived the first six years
Of my life. The place where
I had my whole family there.
The place where my family
Will reunite on Sunday afternoons
To go watch those soccer games.
I grew up watching soccer and hearing
All those arguments that happen in those
Games. Remembering those green fields
Where me and my cousin will play in and
Cheering our dads on.

The sadness in life is always when
You lose someone you love and is part of your family. My uncle passed
Away from cancer. I remember going every
Saturday to visit him, seeing the sadness in my
Moms eyes, seeing her brother in that hospital
Bed not being able to take or to move. I remember
Staying in the hospital and hearing those nurses
Come in and out of that room. My uncle trying to
Drink water and struggling to take his medicine.
Just remembering that text message and saying
My uncle passed away today and being at school
Not being able to see him
And say that last goodbye.
But saying goodbye in his funeral
Was the hardest thing that can happen to a person.
That day of the funeral it was windy, you can hear
Everyone crying. You smell all those roses that everyone
Has taken for my uncle. When we got to the cemetery all you
Can see was my uncles case and the dirt next to him.
I remember walking to where my uncle was getting buried,
We a chance to throw dirt and all I can think of is why.
Seeing those dove fly away made me relize that he was
Going to be fine after all he was in a better place and
Not suffering anymore.

My first kiss was unforgettable .
Just remembering it bring back
The chill that I have felt. Walking
Down that long pier being scared of heights
But knowing he was there making it seems like
It was a normal walk. Holding my hand and telling me
I meant a lot to him and he stopped me and held me close
And kissed me. At the time the wind was blowing, waves
Crashing , and the people all around us didn’t really matter.
Thinking to myself this kiss will always mean something
Important to me.

In high school I found out
Who was my true friends.
And I also met people
That will always be part of
My life no matter what I did
Or what I had.
The person that is so important
To me is my best friend. I met
Him my junior year, I still remember
Seeing him walk in our history class,
Being shy as he was. So one day
I had the guts to talk to him and since then
It seems like we known each other for years
And years. Having those memories of our
Senior year and those good and bad memories.
And just thinking this guy is going to be a long
Life friend that I will never forget and will always
Be the person who understands me best.

As I grow older and I meet different types
Of people I learn something from every
Person who I meet and take the advise that
They give me. I having those people
That really make a great impact in your
Life is wonderful. I have had a few that have helped me
Accomplish my goals and even have set goals
For me. My co worker is always pushing to get the
Best of me. She the one that helped me get my
Promotion at work. The promotion that I receive was a supervisor. In the Vons company is rare for a person my age and less experienced that I have would be likely to get a promotion like this.
Everything I know is because of her. The only thing that took for me
To take my position was her telling me “I
Believe in you, and I know you can do
It”. When I have person like that push me
And believe in me it makes feel like I can
Accomplish everything I set my mind to.

I live day by day and minute by minute.
I enjoy everything I do and everything
That god has giving me. I couldn’t ask for
A better life and better family.
My family means everything to me.
With my family I have had the greatest
Memories that I never imagine having.
We have our days that we can support
each other but we can always come
Over them and be together
As one big family.
