FAMILY

Family has to be the number one thing for me. Family comes before anything. My daughter Genesis is who I live for; she shines my day every morning with a smile. She is going to be seven months already and I wish that time would go by much slower.  I have learned to live my life every day as if they were my last one. I will always keep working hard to be a good role model for my little baby girl.

                The day my life made a big turn and changed forever, was when I met the love of my life.  Julio is boy who I couldn’t stop thinking about and wondered if he would ever give me a chance. The day he finally asked me out I hesitated to answer, you know girls that’s how we do! After being together for over a year I knew he was the guy I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Now we have been together for more than three years and we have a beautiful baby we started our own family. We are happy together and we are going to keep working hard to reach our goal.

                One person in my family who I look up to and hope to be when I get older is my mother. My mother is and always has been a hard working lady who never gives up on her goals.  She came here to the U.S from Mexico as an immigrant and worked hard for what she wanted. She is now a citizen and owns her own house. She started from scratch and is doing just great. She raced my sister and me as a single mother and we were always happy and always had everything we needed and went on vacations every year. We have never needed anything from my so called father. Sometimes I do sit down and think about him, wonder where he is or if he even thinks about us, does he care? Then I snap out of it and realize I don’t need him I never have and a have a lot thank to my lovely hard working mother who I love with all my heart.  As a child I always looked up to her but now that I am a mother myself I admire and appreciate her more than before.

                That girl who I thought was so little and I could always bully around to do my chores, is now in college with me and sometimes bullies me around. I see her and remember the good old days. My sister and I grew up together; we are only one year and a half apart so it has been great I have a best friend.

                My family is not perfect or the biggest but we are a happy one. We have our ups and down but we stick together and always work things out.
