My Soccer Team

My Oxnard College soccer teams means a lot to me. I am currently playing my second and last year for Oxnard College and it makes me really sad. I love going out everyday to the beautiful soccer fields Oxnard College has. Going out every day and playing really keeps me relaxed because I have fun every day. I love my teammates because they are always there for me. They are like my second family. I hang out with my soccer teammates more than any of my other friends. We like to have sleepovers and movie nights and we just talk about soccer for hours. I'm glad I joined the Oxnard College soccer team because of the people I met and because how fun it is.

Change

Peer pressure really gets to kids when they go to school. They see that some kids are wearing a certain type of brand or certain style of cloth and they also want to be cool like them. When I was in Juniors High I thought that Hollister was the best store in the world. I only thought that because so many people were wearing it in my school. It was so expensive but I didn't care because I wanted to be like everyone else. A simple t shirt was about 20 dollars when I could have gotten a similar shirt at another store for half the price. I was pretty much paying extra money to have my shirt say Hollister on it. I wasn’t really paying because at the time I was young and wasn't working. Every Sunday my dad would give us an allowance of 10 dollars and I would save it and at the end of the month I would go shopping. Not only would I spend my allowance money but once we were at the store I would beg my parents to buy my more cloth. All of my friends would buy that brand and I wasn't going to be the only one who didn't wear that. Now I look back and think it was all very immature. I was just following the crowd not thinking about how expensive it really was. Now I know the value of money and think twice about buying cloth that expensive. I know how hard it is to earn money and I'll rather spend it on something more useful. I still love to go shopping but now I think twice about buying something really expensive. I usually go shopping at Forever 21 now where the cloth is much cheaper than Hollister. I probably haven't bought anything from college since I started high school and I'm very proud of myself. 

My Amazing Family

My family is the most important thing to me. They give me the support and love I need. I have to brother; one older and one younger. My older brother’s name is Marcos and he is 20 years old. Marcos and I grew up together since he is only a year older than me. We would always do everything together when we were younger; he was like my best friend. My older brother is a role model to me. He is so nice, strong, trustworthy, and I know I can always count on him for anything. My younger brother is Trinidad Jr. and he is 10 years old. My little brother always knows how to put a smile on my face. He is so funny and always says weird things that cheer me up. I love playing sports or just about anything with my little brother since he always has a lot of energy. I try to be a role model to my little brother because I know he looks up to me. My mom’s name is Emiliana and she is an amazing mom. My mom is always there for me with whatever I need. She cares so much about me and will do just about anything to see me or my brothers happy. My mom always makes sure that there is food on the table so we can eat. She’ll prefer to buy my brothers and me something before buying herself something. That’s the best characteristic about her; that she puts her family first. My dad is also very caring and loving. His name is Trinidad and he is a very hardworking person. My dad is the only person who works in my family so my mom can stay home and take care of us. He works very hard and my whole family appreciates that. Every Sunday my family and I like to go out and spend time together. Every Sunday we go out to breakfast and then we do different things after. Sometimes we go to the mall or sometimes we go visit some of our uncles. I have a pretty big family and I really like it. I like having a lot of uncles, aunts, and cousins. My cousins and I are really close and we always do different things together. We like to go have sleepovers or we like to go out to the park to play different things. At the end of the day my family remembers are the only people I know will always be there for me.
