My Childhood

Improved Essays
Being asked about my childhood always gave me a antic feeling. The antic feeling did not occur because the question brought back bad memories, it occurred because it always has me realize how complicated everything in my life has been. I was born in Corpus Christi, TX in the year of 1999. I had lived in Corpus until I was about 5 years old. In those 5 years I was the happiest little girl I could be. Had both parents & two older brothers to protect me and because I was the only girl I’d get whatever I wanted. One day my mom and I came to San Antonio, TX to visit my aunt, Angelica. In this very short trip my mom ended up meeting a new guy. When I had found out I didn't like it whatsoever because as a young girl I wanted both my parents to be together. I remember staying a hotel with them and the next day I ran out the hotel because I did not want them to be together but that didn't work out. Few months after we went back to Corpus Christi, my mom ended up moving to San Antonio and so she took me away from my dad and brothers. I knew she was taking me away and I didn’t know when I’d see my dad again so, I had put a poster of all the memories we …show more content…
At first he wouldn't let me whatsoever, so it took a few hours to beg him to let me leave. When he let me leave, he told me he didn't want to hear me asking to come back. Living at my grandmas was better because I love being with her but it was still hectic because my mom came back with 2 kids. Months go by and in those few months it was so complicated cause my mom would go back and forth to San Antonio, going out, and we had our first physical fight. And I wasn't surprised when my mom told me she was going to move back to San Antonio with her baby daddy. It did bother me because she left me like nothing, but it wasn't long till I got over it because I was happy to live with my

    Everyone is saying bye to each other. Everyone is giving each other's hugs, kisses, and tears racing down our cheeks. I see that uncle. I say nothing to him. Just gave him a look. A very disgusting look. We get to the airport. Hop on the plane and off we go. It's ten o’clock at night. I brought with me the most memorable memories with me and left the ugly one behind. Ever since my trip to El Salvador, I had great anxiety when walking by a older man. Every time my mother would send me to the store to buy some tortilla, I would see a group older man standing in front of the store. I feel all the attention on me and it's not a good one.

    To my twelve-year-old self, I was convinced that she wanted to move just to get back at my father for splitting up our family and not getting that financial support she use to get when they were together. I would call my father every day begging him to take me back home because I did not belong in the “Sunshine State”. A few weeks later my mother enrolled me into Avalon Middle School. On my first day, I sat alone at lunch which made me hate Florida more than I did before I moved here because in Massachusetts, my lunch table was filled with all of my friends and sometimes the table was filled with people me and my friends did not even know. The second day of school I made a friend named Camila. She was in my history class. She was a very sweet, bubbly girl, the complete opposite of me during that period. She asked me to join her and her friends for lunch. When we both sat at the lunch table, she introduced me to her friends and for the first time in the two days I was in Avalon middle, I forgot about my friends back home because I was laughing and meeting new people, something I was never use to. Later that day, I went to my math class and I made another new friend that had just moved from New York and her name was Brianna. Our bond grew quickly over our hatred of having to move and start fresh.…

    A couple years ago when I was in 1st grade I started at a new school in Pasadena, California. The school was called Garvanza elementary. I liked living in California and having new friends at this school, but about half the school year my mother wanted to move to Arizona with my brother, sister and I. We didn't want to leave, but my mother said that she already got a house and a job over there. Even after we kept telling her that we didn't want to leave she made us pack everything and put it in the truck. We packed everything and left for Arizona which was about a 4 hour drive. Later, when we were settled my mother made me start at a school called south point. I spent the rest of that year at that school then moved again, but to an apartment.

    We waited till the end of the school year to move back but by then my parents had drifted so far from each other it was obvious there was no chance of my dad coming, not now and not ever. My parents were never married so technically there was no divorce but they were defiantly no longer together, the way my mom explained it was that they would always love each other and us, but they were just not in love anymore, not really understanding the difference, I just went along with it, and since my dad and I were never really close, The fact that he wasn't coming didn't bother me. Once again we found our selves packing our things into the back of a U-Haul truck ready to go back. For me it was a bitter sweet, i knew I would miss my new friends, but I was also excited to go back and be with my old friends and to have more family around me again. Everything was good when I moved back, however I think my mom realized that moving back didn't change the fact that her grandma was no longer here so we moved back to Florida almost a year later. Those two years had changed my life the most, I was forced to grow up and instead of my parents being there for me I had to be there for them. But not only did I grow up I was also able to build such an unbreakable bond with my brothers that I know will keep us close for the rest of our…
