Future Autobiography
If I could be any type of person in my future I would like to be; a hard worker, independent, responsible and mature. I really am a nice person and kind to everyone. I will enjoy helping people out and doing favors for others when I get the opportunity. I used to be a person that never laughed but I have learned how to laugh a lot and I want my future to be full of laughter. I enjoy learning and want to keep learning in my future. I hope to be a person who helps out the lives of the people I care about; helping them with money and things they need. I would also love to travel all over, Brazil, Atlanta, Chicago, Texas and New Mexico.
When I think about careers, I think about maybe joining the army and becoming an EMT or paramedic, or working with children in some way. If I joined the army, I would be interested in being a nurse, or being part of the military police, or becoming a mechanic, or being part of the construction crews.
It will be important for me to stay physically active in my future. It will be good to keep me healthy, help me release stress, and keep me from being lazy. I’ve always enjoyed basketball and boxing the most because they are both sports where you have to move fast. I like the physical contact in basketball but i dont like it if people get mad. I like boxing because it takes away stress and anger. Afterwards I feel lighter and can be nicer to people. One thing I will definitely do in my future is skydiving; I love heights and I get a happy feeling doing crazy things.
Its hard for me to imagine a future family. I’m not sure I want a family, even though my teacher, Rick, does not believe me. Maybe deep inside of me I want a family but when you think of all the stuff you have to go through, it seems better for me to be alone.
And I don’t mean what I have to go through, I don’t want my kids to go through all the bad things. In my heart I do believe that things will get better and my future will be good; it all depends on my confidence. Some days I’m very confident and optimistic but some days it’s very hard to be positive. On days like that I end up not caring and not trying. Either way, I think about my future all the time.

My Birth Story
I was born December 1st. I was born premature, a little bit more than 2 months. The reason why I was born premature was because my mom got in a fight with her twin sister and that caused my mom to go into labor.
My parents
My parents are great people. my moms name is Mariela. She has 14 siblings and she’s a twin. She cares about my future more than i do i can say. shes really opened up about her teenage life so that we will have a better life.
My mom worked really hard to keep a roof over our head and have food on the table since she was very young. We just moved down here to Rifle where my step dad brought us to live so my mo wouldn’t have to work anymore. Now she stays home, takes care of the house, cooks, does laundry and chores. When my dad, sister and I get home the house is clean and there’s dinner ready. My parents expect the best from us. They believe in us because they know we can be anything we want and succeed in life.
Pivotal moments
One event that has changed my life is when I moved to Silt, Colorado. I moved down here from Aurora, Colorado. I started school here at Riverside Middle School. I hated that school while I was there. It changed my life because I didn’t really like the people there i just stayed by myself most of the time. There was absolutely nothing i was interested at that school. That school was the worst school I have been to in my life. Another pivotal moment that has changed my life is when I moved to Yampah instead of going to Coal Ridge High School or any other school. This school is much smaller and has less people. I don’t like being around a lot of people. I am an independent person. I like Yampah because there are less people, and you get to make your own decisions. I have attended more at this school then any other schools I have gone to in my life. My favorite thing about Yampah is that we have freedom.
What Makes Me Happy
Music makes me the happiest person in the whole world. All I do is listen to music.
What makes me really happy is being in the darkness, I love the dark, I like to go for a walk at midnight and just listen to music.
Drawing makes me happy because I draw what I feel and it helps to get my feelings and thought out.
My Family makes me happy when we are all together having a good time. When I see them happy then I am happy too.
I like shoes, especially black, blue, brown, gray and white.
I love make-up, it makes me happy how I can be so creative with it and just learn to do different things with it even though i berly even use any.
sweaters, sweatpants and big shirts make me happy because i feel comfortable.
I like cleaning my house because I like to be clean. I listen to music while I clean so makes it better for me.
What Makes Me Sad
Family fights are the saddest for me because I like to see my family happy, not fighting or arguing.
Loss of a loved one makes me sad because all that is left are the memories.
Not having music to listen to is very sad.
Strengths, Talents and Gifts
i really love sports and I am pretty athletic. Playing hard is a great way to release stress. For my size I am physically strong and a hard worker. I am an artistic person and I love to draw. People say I am pretty good at it. I have a lot of love inside of me and I love to laugh.
My weaknesses…
When people talk smack about my family.
When people stare at me; it bugs me and makes me angry.
When I go out with friends and do whatever.
I don't like school or enjoy it much but i come and try to get through it.
What friendship is?
True Friendship is when friends are loyal to one another, respect each other, are honest, and are there for one another in the good and bad moments. A true friend will give you good advice. laugh with each other a lot .
What beauty is
Beauty, for me, is in nature. also Beauty is everyone and everything in this universe. People have a different way of viewing beauty; for me, it is a girl/ woman without make up. It is what comes from the inside.
What is home?
Home is a place like no other; a place where you can pretty much do everything you want and no one is there to tell you what to do or how to do it. home is also a place where you find love and peace and feel safe.
My religion/s
I don’t have a specific religion that I believe in. I do believe in everything there is in this life, bad or good. It's not that important to me because I feel that everyone should pick their own religion or just live a normal life and be okay with not having a specific religion. I am not sure there is an after life, maybe if you believe in God. I really don't know the truth about life. I don't believe that if you don't believe in God you will be punished by him or your life will be miserable.
Good parent…

THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN MY LIFE
The 3 most important people in my life are my mother, my sister, and my niece. They are always there when I need them. They each have been a good influence in my life. I love them. I would give my everything for them.
My mother is a lovely person as long as people stay on her good side. She is a caring person. She loves helping out people, wanting nothing in return. In fact, it kind of makes me mad because she is way to nice most of the time. I still love her. My mom has always talked to me about my life now and my future. She always encourages me to do well in school, and to work hard now so in my future I wont have to work as hard as she did at my age. She was an elementary drop out not by choice but because she had to go to work. Her biggest dream was to go to school. Now she tells me that life isn't easy without an education. And if I want a good life I need start doing well in school. She wants me to take advantage of the opportunities she never had.
Personally, I love my sister. I have always had her back no matter what. My sister is really nice and friendly, something am not! I don’t like the fact that she always gets hurt for trusting people, thinking they will always stay loyal. I always try to encourage her not to criticize her but because I care for her. She has been through a lot in her life and she is only eighteen. I have learned a lot from everything she has experienced and gone through in her life. I wouldn't be happy without a sister like her.
I would give my life for my niece. The second day after she was born I changed her diaper and held her in my arms. She is like a daughter to me. I helped my sister raised her since she was born. She completes my life. She makes me think twice about life and good choices. I wouldn't be anyone without her. I love her. She is the only one that understands me. When I need a shoulder to cry noshes there. She whips my tears off my cheeks and says “it’s okay nana don’t cry I love you”. Her words are what make me stronger, a better person and to think about my choices twice. I would change everything I am for her if necessary.
My mom, my sister, and my niece. They all mean a lot to me and they love me as much as I love them. They all have made a positive change in me in a different way. They mean the world to me. I am no one without them. I am grateful to have them in my life.
