blogging

Blogging for this class has been quite interesting and fun. We get to see what my classmates write and some of their blog post have been quite interesting to read. my classmates had some interesting topics of that they wrote about, especially the one when we talk about the tree people who mean the most to us. At the beginning i did hate it because i was nervous of what everyone else was going to read my blog. At the end it was pretty interesting. For my class mates i just want to say it was fun having you in class even though to some i didn't get a chance to actually talk to you guy. I hope the rest of your college experience go good.

3 people

My son

 He’s an energetic little three year old who loves to be active all day long. He features is that he is somewhat light skin, he has dark brown eyes like I do, he has long curly eye lashes like his dad. He has short brown hair which is straight, and he is usually always smiling when is in a good mood. The main reason why is he significant to be is because he has made reach my entire goal to become a better in life. When I’m said and need some motivation he is there to help me out for anything that I might really need help with. I love my little brat even though he could drive me nuts at times, but at least I know I keep on going for him. My little boy will make you happy as well because he likes talking to new people and playing with them, well mostly little kids. At times he could have his little anger when he doesn’t get stuff his way, but his at that age when he wants to be a little trouble maker.

My Boyfriend

He is tall he is 5ft & 9in well about and he somewhat in the skinny side. He has short black hair because he never likes having long because it’s curly. He is usually always in good mood but at times he could have his days. He is tan with light colored brown eyes and with curly eye lashes in which I love. The reason why I find him to be more significant to me is because he has always stuck by my side through tough times and good times. I am not going lie we do have our fights but it’s normal almost every couple have those. Especially lately he has help me the most he motivated me to go back to school and to go for what I really what to do in life. He helps me out my taking me to school, and brings me back home. It sucks because our situation has gotten harder since we don’t live together at the moment. This situation has made our relationship grow bigger. I at least know that I could count on him most of the time. He is there to cheer me up when I need it. I see him more than just my boyfriend, I see him as a best friend as well. I just glad that he has been around because he makes me feel happy having him next to me.

MY Daddy

My dad is dark colored he somewhat in the tall side. He used to be in the skinny side, but over the years my dad has gain a little weight. He has black colored hair, with dark brown eyes, mustache, and bushy eyebrows. My dad is significant to me because he didn’t judge me when I go pregnant in a young age. Instead he was their supporting me and making sure that I finished high school on time. He has helped me with still paying for some of my college to make sure that I keep on going to school. My dad has always told me don’t give up keep on going I never did. My dad has started his life with a difficult teenage life coming to the United States at age 16 and finding a job to send my grandparents money. He started working in the fields to provide for his family, and still to this day he is still working in the fields. He may have a different responsibility that what he had before, because know he is a supervisor. Even though he a supervisor he still treats his employees with respect, and seeing not change makes me proud of my dad.

my review

       

     A really good place to eat will be El Tapatio it’s a Mexican restaurant in Camarillo. It has different food that you could eat from tacos to menudo on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The meat that they have to offer is carne asada, al pastor, carnitas, and other ones. The three things that I enjoy eating from there will have to be their burritos, tortas, and their combinations. The thing that I love about their burritos are that it has delicious carne asada made right when you order it, with rice, beans, onion, cilantro, and chili on the side.  After eating that burrito it will want you to eat more. Another thing in the menu that I enjoy eating will have to be their tortas. They are a decent size not too big or small. The ingredients that it has will a meat of your choice top with rice, mayo, lettuce, guacamole, and tomatoes. Also the last thing that I like to get as well will have to be their combinations these are plates that come with lots of thing for you eat. It comes with the meat of your choice I prefer al pastor, then it comes with rice, beans top with cheese, and a bit of lettuce. There are different items in the menu: tacos, burritos, nachos, coctel de camaron, menudo, quesadillas, sopes,  enchiladas, taco salad,andcombinations. Also they will have good waters they will make horchata, lemonade, jamaica, and tambarino. Those who don’t like these drinks they will end up having soda as well. You should stop by and have a bit to eat here in the Camarillo location or the one in Oxnard.

Fast food

The Fast Food nation has made me open my eyes and made me realize things about fast food how it isn't healthy for our bodies. How the portions of food have gotten bigger and it had made people of this society end up eating more. This causes obesity between the young people to the old and its bad for our health, because this will end up causing harm with other health problems. Then the way that people are made to work harder to end up making the meat processing work harder. Then finding where food flavoring comes from which was surprising to me. In a way it has made me change my way on how I see fast food and how I need to healthier. To keep myself healthy that way I won't have health problems when I am older.

how my semester is going

My answer from last week is I have a Dog. His name is Scooby, and he is a very playful dog.

So far my semester is going pretty good. The hard thing is trying to balance everything out from school, my child, and work. I am a full time student going to school Monday through Wednesdays.  I have three classes in which I really need to make sure all my work gets done otherwise everything piles up. I have English, Geography, and History to worry about. I have essay in English, reports in History and quizzes, and in geography I have discussions, assignment and quizzes to do. It’s hard to balance everything out because besides school I have to worry about my part time job. Work gives me weird schedules at time which it’s not the same schedule every week. Then also I have three year old in which always want mommy attention and for me to be with all the time. It’s pretty hard to try to be super mom, and do so many things at ones. Then not living with his dad makes harder because I don’t have my other half helping out all the time with him. I always have to remind myself that I’m back in school to get a better future for me and my son. I want us not to be dealing about money situations and be able to be independent.

TRUTH OR LIES

1. I HAVE A DOG.
2. I HAVE A SON THAT'S 4.
3. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO MEXICO.
4. I AM MARRIED.
5. I HAVE A LICENSE.

CHOOSE WISELY U NEVER KNOW WHICH ONE IS THE TRUTH.

MY FAMILY

Well I have a weird little family there’s my son, my boyfriend, and myself.  I like my small little family I love my two boys. With my boyfriend we have been in a relation for almost five years and with my son I love him ever since he was in my stomach. Then I also have my family I have my two parents who I love very much and my two little sisters. Having a family means a lot to me because they are there for me when I need support or just need someone to talk to when I need it. My boyfriend he has been such a good support to me even though we have had our ups and downs thru out these five years he has been by my side. Anthony my son is also my little piece of me that makes me happy every time I’m sad or need that extra smile he is there giving me a hug to make it all better. The person who I love and I am grateful of having is my dad you could say I am a daddy’s girl. He has never judge by my mistake instead he is there to support me and push me forward and say things will be better just be patient that’s why you have a dad for. Also my dad convinces me to keep on going to school after high school and not to stop with a high school education. He told me that school is a good tool and that will make you a stronger person with more education and it will make your son proud of him mom. Another person that is important is my mom she was the person that had helped me finished high school if It wasn’t for her taking care of my son I don’t know if I would made this far in my life. My sister Pamela is also a person I care about I always go to her for some advice or to give her some advice. We tell each other our secrets and we stay along each other side when there is something difficult in the way. Then there’s my little sister yeah she could drive me nuts at time because we are eleven years apart but I still love her. For me family is very important without the people that I have mention I don’t know how I would have made it this far with my choices and having some support next to me. 

interview

The person that I had interview was Miriam Zaragoza she is sweet and kind person.  She is the oldest with two brothers one of them is 18 and the other one is 4.  She Graduated from Rio Mesa in 2010. This will be her second year of attending Oxnard College. The thing that motivates her to attend college is to have a better education than her mom. Her current schedule is she works Thursdays thru Sundays on the weekends she works in the mornings. She works in the mornings on the weekends so she is able to spend time with her family. Her school schedules are that she goes to school on Mondays thru Wednesday and some are homework days. Her role model is her mom because she made sacrifices for their family. Miriam considers herself to be a role model for her younger siblings by setting her brothers examples. Three words she describes herself are determined, helpful, focus. In ten years she sees herself to be done with her masters, working as a school counselor, have a place of her own and to hopefully be engage. The motto she has for herself is “No More McDonalds”. The stuff that influence her from her culture or family is to do more that general ed. The biggest surprised that college experience has is the cost of college and the atmosphere is different that High School.

Life Changing

Special event

            During the middle of my teen years I was excited to become a new mom, but I was nervous I didn’t know what to expect.  Being a mom at a young age is very hard I‘ve seen how some people have to deal with being a teen mom and how they have struggle. When I was in my ninth month of pregnancy I was just waiting for me to meet my son and trying to go school. I am not going to deny I was worried if I was going to be able to finish high school. My last day of junior year was fun I got to say bye to all my friends and I was ready for the summer to begin. It felt weird because the start of my senior year I was not going to have a big stomach anymore. A while after I had been on vacation I had gone to the doctor’s office and I was going to find to when I was going to give birth. Then the doctor had told me your son could come anytime now you are full term. I was happy but nervous of how the process would go during labor and delivery.

            It was the middle of the night, when I started having a weird feeling that I had to go to the restroom and I had gotten up my bed. When I got up the bed it felt weird I got this feeling that was unexplainable. Then when I had least expected it my water had broken. It was unusual to feel the water going down my leg. When I had notice it I had to wake up my mom and tell her that it was time for me to go and have a baby. She had told me to go and take a warm shower and put it in my back so it could help with the pain. After I had gotten out of the shower my mom had told me to dress and that she was going to go wake up my dad and my two little sisters. That’s I was started to nervous I didn’t know what to expect of the delivery. Especially since it was my first kid and what I have heard that labor is very painful and it’s a long wait. As soon as we had gotten ready it was around five o’clock in the morning we had left the house and first we had to go to drop off my sister’s at my aunt’s house. After that we had to the CMH in Ventura because that was the only place where they had token my health insurance. The long drive to the hospital seemed like an eternity it seemed like I was never going to get there because the pain was getting worse. As soon I got the hospital I had to fill out some paper work before they would take me into the labor and delivery. We walked to the elevator where I had to go to the second flood, the elevator felt weird because it was taking us up the floor too quick. Then finally we got to the second floor were they had taken me to my room.

            The nurse had told to if I need to go to the restroom to go right now before the labor process will continue. She told me to change into a gown. The room was weird because the bed where I was staying in was where I was going to have my son. Then I had laid down now knowing what I was going to expected from this experience. A nurse had come into my room and she had checked how far I was dilated. She had checked me and she had notice that I wasn’t has dilated that they had to induce my labor to get things going. She had left the room and came back with the IV to put in to my hand. That painful pitched from the needle hurt so bad it had made me cry, the nurse told me that she is going to put a medication in the IV called Pitocin. As soon they had put that in my pain level was becoming worse everything was speeding up. A couple hours had passed but I don’t remember how long it has been. Then a nurse had come into the room and she had asked if I wanted any pain medication to help with the pain that I was dealing with. My mom had told me not to get the epidural because that may end up causing back problems and it could end up becoming worse over time. I ended up getting a medication that goes in the IV but I don’t remember the name of it. With the medication I was able to go to sleep for a while to get my mind of the pain.

            When I woke up  my doctor came in the room and she hold told me that I am going to check how far you are dilated. She had checked me and I was ready to start pushing. I got so nervous and scared when they had brought the supplies even though it was covered I didn’t know what to expect. The doctor and the nurses came into the room to start setting up the items for the delivery. They had made me lay in the bed with my bottom all the way to the edge of the bed, with my legs up in the set up. The Doctor told me to hold my thighs with my hands and to start to push. I pushed every time I had a contraction because thats what they had told me to do.  Minutes had passed and I was getting tired of using all my strength. Then she told to give one big push, so I did what she had told me when I did that my baby’s head had come out. That’s when they had cleaned up is airway so he will be able to breath. She said to give one more big push, when I did my baby was born. When I hear those first cries I had cried of how happy I was to be a mom.

            Seeing my son for the first time it was a feeling that had left me speechless. He was a wide awake baby with his eyes wide open. When I called him Anthony he moved his head around trying to follow my voice. Anthony had a little bit of hair but his hair was a little Mohawk which it looked funny because they were little hairs standing up. Also my little boy was skinny he weighed six pounds and one ounce his length was 19 inches. My child had little skinny legs and arms, since he only weighed six pounds. Since he was so thin his skin was a little wrinkly. His cheeks were rosy, he had big eyes with curly eyelashes, and he had clear skin. That’s when I realized; that I would succeed has a teen mom. I would be able to become someone in life. There would be struggles along the way but I would be able to do it for my son and I whatever comes along the way I would be able to overcome.

text

Texting is everywhere now you see young people all the way up to older people having cell phones. Texting is very important now because it helps you get a hold people especially if you are running out of minutes. Everywhere you go now you see people texting. There is one thing that people should be careful while texting is to not drive while you are because it could be dangerous and you could end up putting others in danger. Yes texting could become very helpful to communicate especially if you can’t answer your phone. In some situations where you are in a doctor’s office or somewhere important and you can’t make a call texting is very helpful. It could make time go by even faster while using the phone. It’s fun when you get your first phone and having texting because you just want to go share it with your friends so you could keep in touch with them. I remember me having a phone with no text and I would hate it because while my other friend had it I didn’t I felt weird being the only one to stand out of them. Texting has become a big impact in our society. I do feel though that people should use it wisely and not get to carry away especially while driving.

reality

I am not going to deny it I do like to watch reality shows especially when I have free time. Lately I do miss out in some episodes because I am either at work, school, doing homework, or spending time with my son.  The reality shows that I watch is Keeping up the Kardiashians, Kendra, Jersey Shore, 16 and pregnant, Teen Mom, and etc. I like to watch a lot of them but the ones that I have mention are the ones I see the most. The reason why I like to watch Keeping up the Kardiashians is because it’s interesting seeing other people and how they react to different situations. Then I also like watching it because there is like drama in their family and they try to figure out how to find a solution to it. Their family dynamic is interesting as well because they try to keep each other entertain. Kendra I like to watch because of the way she was able to things myself when her husband was away and she will take her of son with just being the only one there. Jersey shore I like to watch because there is always some drama going on between the roommate and some of them deal with it in different ways. At time they will try to fix but it might get better or it might end up making it worse depending in the situation between them. 16 and pregnant I like to watch because of the way they at times struggle through situations and for some are more difficult than others. It makes me remember of my experience of being pregnant at a young age and still being able to succeed or change for their young ones. Then teem mom I like to watch because some of them reflect on me on how they are struggling with a child will some still trying to go to school or battle of how they are going to do it in that situation.  Then I do watch some other shows but I don’t really watch does as often.

In a way I do think that reality show could affect society but then it will depend of what. Well I think that 16 and pregnant or Teen Mom could show other viewers that having a child at a young age could be tough and it’s not easy. Then there is some that could influence young audience to make bad decisions by watching the show and trying to be like them. I do find them to be entertaining in at times but I just watch them on my free time. So reality shows could end up being good or bad depending on the situation the program gives or the way the viewer might end up seeing the show. 

Fast Food

I would remember that my family and I will go out to eat fast food like 3 to 4 time of the month. We will go when my dad didn’t have to work and he will take us to go and spend some family time. My dad will like when we will spend our Sundays out eating as family because we really didn’t see him much during the week because he would work from eight to twelve hours a day. I remember that my sister and I will be so happy when my dad will take us when it was Halloween time and we will get the bucket from McDonald’s.  The fast food restaurants that my parents would like going will be McDonald’s, Carl’s Jr, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell, and at times to Burger King. When I would go to fast food restaurants I would get the kids meals. When I out grown that stage I would get a number two at McDonald’s and share it with my sister Pamela, at Carl’s I would get the famous star, at taco bell I would get two taco with supreme nachos, at jack in the box I would get number 4 or 6, and at Burger King I would get the whopper Jr.  Then around when my little sister was born we didn’t really eat fast food as much is was more like a treat because after my little sister was born my mom was diagnose with diabetes type two. Then it had change our eating habits our family had become more health at that time we all did it to help my mom not get into a bad eating habit and so she will eat more health.

Now that I don’t live with my parents any more I could say that I eat fast food a little more than I did. I know it bad for me and my mom tells me not to eat it too much because diabetes runs in my mom side of the family. The reason why I eat it more is because for lunch at work instead of making myself a healthy meal I go get fast food. With my son I make sure he doesn’t eat as much fast food as I do because he is too young to be eating much of that. Recently during the past three month I have reduce the times I eat fast food because I am getting tired of always eating the same thing. Lately I make more time to make my lunch for work and to eat fast food once a week like I used to do it with my parents. I want to try to make fast food more like a treat and not eat it so often. Even though I have a good stable weight I don’t want to gain weight that I wouldn’t like to have. If I don’t have a lunch and I need to eat something I will rather now to subway or a healthier place.

about me

I was born in Ventura but I was raise in Camarillo. I am the oldest of three, I have two younger sister which their names are Pamela and Cindy. Pamela is seventeen years old and Cindy is eight. My sister's and I are close but the one I am more close to is Pamela. My parents are very kind and sweet they are always there when I need them well most of the time. I have live in Camarillo most of my life except for now I live in Oxnard. I graduate from Adolfo Camarillo High School in 2009. After I have graduated I went to Oxnard College for a semester, after that I went to a trade school to become a medical assistant. I got pregnant my junior year of high school it was a struggle being a teenage mom, but I wont regret anything because my son is my everything.

I move to Oxnard two years ago to move in with my in laws. It took me a while to get used to a house where I wasn't comfortable. It was nice to move to Oxnard becuase now I have my family close and I wont be struggling to raise my now three year old son. My son Anthony is the most energetic kid that you cold meet. He is shy at first but then when he gets to know you he will be the nicest kid. I just finished to become a medical assistant I graduated in July. Now I am coming back to Oxnard college to reach my goal as a Nurse. On my free time I like to spend time with my little family of three or going to my parents house. I am a kind person but at first I am shy then I will start to open little by little.

In my future I hope I become a nurse. I want to be a nurse for labor and delivery or in the emegency room. I hope to have my own place and be in a stable place of my life where I know that my accomplishments where good. I hope to retire in a good age where I wont be struggling with my money. I hope I will go on a family vacation with my family either to Hawaii or somewhere else where it  has nice views.
