Autobiographical Narrative“Sometimes when things are falling apart, they may actually be falling into places” - Marcus Tullius Cicero. All I have today is thanks to my parents. My accomplishments, my goals, my successes and so many things. I know that everything they do is for my own good.They want me to be successful and have a great future. I come from a small town call Puruandiro Michoacan, Mexico. I am the oldest of 3. I was 12 years old when my family and I moved to California. I was so scared because I didn’t know any English and also because I was going to miss all my family; my grandmas, uncles, aunts, cousins, friends and everyone back home. I was sad because one of my grandmas was so sick and I didn’t want to leave her. On April 22 2009 we arrive to this country and It was like I was in another world. Everything was so different, specially the food. The first days were terrible. I didn’t like the house me and my family were living in. The one thing I was mad of was not knowing English.
The first day of school was terrible. I didn’t know anyone in my class, I didn’t know what people were talking about, I didn’t understand anything. I cried everyday and I wanted to go back to Mexico with my friends and family. After one month of school I had friends who only talk to me in Spanish, they understand me and I could trust. Everything was going well. I was learning some English and I was just adapting to my new life. But then we had to moved to Santa Barbara. I was so mad with my parents because I was going to start all over again. When we arrived to Santa Barbara we stayed at my aunt's house because we didn’t have a house yet. We stay for like two weeks. In those two weeks I didn’t go to school because the school didn’t have my information because the school back in Lindsay didn’t sent my information to the school in Santa Barbara. Then we moved to Las Vegas. In there I did went to school and we stay there for two months. I made new friends and I was having fun. Then we had to moved back to Lindsay. I was so happy because I wanted to see my friends. But when I start school I notice the I was forgetting the English I learned because in Las Vegas the teachers talk to me in Spanish. So I set myself a goal, I was going to learn English before I start Junior High. When I started Junior High I was confident that I was going to learn English, and I did learn some English, the basic stuffs like; “can I use the restroom?” “I don’t understand” and many more. But for me that wasn't enough. My brother helped me a lot. He teach me how to write, speech and read English, he learned English faster than me. Months pass and on October my grandma passed away. I was so sad because she was like my second mother. I didn’t focus on school, I didn’t want to do anything I just wanted my grandma back, that was my mistake. Because I was so sad and mad at the same time I didn't focus In school and I didn’t do my homework so I started eighth grade behind in Math and English. But the good thing was that I knew more words in English and I was able to understand the teachers . I worked so hard and I finish my classes on time. My parents were so proud of me because I finished everything before the end of the school year. I finished what I didn’t complete in seventh grade and I also eighth grade like 1 month before the end of the school year. I started High School on pace, I was happy to see all my friends, but then something happened. Kids started to make fun of my because of Mexican accent. I was sad and I didn’t want to talk in English anymore. So I started to read books so I can forget everything that was going in my life. The first book I read was ¨ Un caballo llamado libertad” and I loved it, and I started to read more book but three books were the ones that I loved. The Hunger Games books. I loved so much those books that I forgot everything wrong that was going on. My mom saw that I loved this books that she bought me the three books. And today I still love those books and everytime I read those books is like im rearing them for the first time. In the future I want to get a good job so I can buy my mom a house because she does so many things for us ,that's how I want to tell her thank you. I see myself married and living in a beautiful place. I want my brother to have a great life in the future and be happy at the same times. So when I stop and think about how Inspire me to be successful, I always thing about my mom. I know what she does is for our own good. Life Map
