autobiographical essay

Hello my name is Yaritza Gonzalez, I’m 17, I live in Inglewood, Ca, and my goal as of now is to attend and graduate from a four year college/ university. There are six people in my family, which include my parents Isac and Gloria, my three brothers Raul, Eduardo and Isac, and me. I am Mexican-American and can be described as creative, outgoing, trustworthy, strong, and responsible.

            I was born on January 4, 1993 to my parents Isac Gonzalez and Gloria Gonzalez Sandoval. I could not have asked for better parents even if I wanted and I was blessed with them. They have always been there for me, supported most of my decisions, and have always tried their best to give me good advice. For most of the time, my parents are understanding and we tend to argue but no major and consequential fights. My parents are glad that I am very responsible because they feel that they can depend on my whenever they may need me. I have earned their respect as well as their trust, not that they ever had a reason to doubt, just that I have showed them that I do as I am told from them and never get in trouble at school and get good grades. I tend to be creative when it comes to doing chores and helping out my little brother Raul with his homework to make it fun for him.

            According to various people, I have a complex personality. I am very confident in myself and I can be a happy person as long as you do not upset me because I tend to get upset quite easily. One moment I can be as happy as possible and the next angry and I will not speak to anyone because most likely I will go off on them or take my anger upon them. I have been working on this issue for quite a while now because this is a quality that I am not that upbeat about. Not that I hate it, on the contraire I believe it gives me enough backbone to defend myself and not let anyone take advantage of me and I believe that this makes me very strong in my opinion. One thing about me that I love and other people like as well is that I laugh a lot and try to be as positive as I can be. Many people may not like my personality because I may be too impulsive at times and they have the right to not like me, I know that I definitely do not like everyone that I come across after getting to know them.

            Even though I did not join any sports, I have always liked them especially volleyball and running. When I had P. E. sports, I always tried my hardest to complete every task as best as I could. I get competitive at almost every sport that I play, I still remember how I always outran the soccer girls and other athletic inclined girls in my class even though I wasn’t as conditioned as they were because the only time I exercised was during that one and only class period.  I must admit that right now if I were to be put to run a mile I would not be able to complete it in six minutes flat, as I used to. I have stopped exercising and I am in no condition to even run half a lap.

            I have grown up and still continue to grow and learn more, and the thing that I have stuck to most of my life is to never regret what I do. I hardly ever even question the decisions I make, I did make them for a specific reason. I am not the type of person that will go back to try and mend things because what has been broken cannot be put back together in the same state in which it used to be before it was tempered with. I shall continue to make wrong decisions but from those mistakes, I will become stronger and wiser. As I continue to fall into the path of life and destiny, I will just keep going and not look back in order to get where I have to go.
