Past, Present, and Future

                My name is Sheila Maria Salazar. I’m a graduate from Hueneme High School year 2011. Throughout high school I had trouble getting good grades in freshmen and sophomore year because my parents had problems in their relationship and it was affecting me. I wouldn’t concentrate or do work at school. At the end of my junior year was when my parents got separated and I found out I was pregnant. So during the summer I planned out to graduate early so I can spend time with my little one, so I was able to graduate a semester early but I had my son when we were in finals so I was lucky my teachers passed me because I didn’t take any finals.  

I’m 18 years old and my birthday is in November 13. I have a one year old named Christopher Giovanni Prado. I am in a relationship with my baby's dad. We have been together for almost 4 years and 7 months, our anniversary is on February 5. I still live with my mom. I have 2 sisters and a brother, it’s my older sister that’s 19 years old, then me, then my brother that’s 17 and then my little sister that’s 10 years old. I like to go shopping; I like to go walk to the beach. My favorite food is Mexican food, I like to eat “tacos” and “birria” with rice and beans. My favorite color is green. I like to go to the movies and watch action movies. I also like Coach purses, Uggs and I am usually wearing sandals. I like to go bike riding with my family. It’s my second year going to college. I didn't expect to go to college but my boyfriend changed my mind. He started college a year before me and convinced me that I would be better off if I also went to college. While I come to class, our baby stays at home with my mom. I don't have my license so, for now, I depend on my boyfriend to take me to school and our baby's appointments.  

In the future, I want to transfer to CSUCI and get my bachelor's degree in nursing.  I want to have 2 or 3 more kids but first of all I want to get married with my high school sweet heart. I want to live with him and I also want us to have our own place. Moreover, I also want the best for my son and I want him to grow healthy. For myself, I would like to get braces. I don't have my license so I would also like to get that in my future. When I do get my first car, I would like to get a Nissan Altima from the year 2000 and up, but any good working car with less than 200,000 miles would be good enough for me. In conclusion, I have a lot of plans for mu future but I have to accomplish the ones on my present first.
