Who I Was

Throughout my life there have been drastic changes within my family and surroundings. Who I was? That is a very good question that I ask myself every time, but everything is in the past now. Who I was; I was a young person who had different characters than now.

I could start with my family life: I born at the Corozal Community Hospital, I used to live in Paraiso Village, I have two brothers and one sister, and my parents are separated. I graduated from Paraiso Government School and I went to Escuela Mexico. I was the unwanted child before I born, and up to now I am the preferred one. I have greatest achievements that I have accomplished such as getting awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd premiums the highest scores of the entire class. In primary, I got two 1st and two 2nd place of my class, I got one 3rd place award. In high school at the end of the four years I got six 1st place and one 2nd place awards because the school just gave awards on the last year (fourth form). I have participated in competitions; for example, the Math Olympiad.

The only trauma that I have through is the separation of my parents, I was young not knowing well what was going on, all that I wanted was my parents to be together but I t was possible. I was really affected because the dream of any kid is to have his/her both parents together as one big family. That was the saddest moment I have through, and the happiest moment was when I received various awards and recognitions of my great effort in my education. I once got scared of the following situation: I was once being robbed but it turn out to be a fake one, but I got scared. I was on a wedding and I got drunk, then started to dance like crazy, I felt embarrassed but I believe that I am not the only or the first person who have done such thing. I have changed my style of living and now I am independent.
Throughout the years of my education, my father, + grandmother, uncle, aunts and the entire family members have encourage me to continue studying because I am a great and intelligent student. They have been there when I needed it the most, with support and with money wise. There is one person that I want to thank even though he not here anymore, he was a teacher of mine at high school. He influenced me to follow my dream and his dream too. He taught me Mathematics, and I was one of his brightest students. He told me to follow my dreams and that it didn’t matter how big or small they were. The only thing needed to accomplish them was time, patience and determinance.

This person, “Who I Was” is now in the past, and I am now with different ideas in life.
