best day

The best memory I have is when I went to Cancun along with my cousin Adrian. We went there to get away from reality and relax. It has beautiful beaches and has the perfect climate as well. This vacation we took was a year ago and cannot wait to go again since I had so much fun the first time we went. We are both college students and around the same age so we know how to have a good time especially when we get a break from school and work. When we first got to our hotel we were amazed of how nice it was and right away knew we were going to have a blast. As we stepped into our room we opened a bottle of champagne and began to celebrate.We then got ready and headed towards the beach and stayed there until we saw the sunset . I enjoyed swimming in the water since it was warm and clear. It was nothing that I had ever seen before. The nightlife is very enjoyable as well, but besides the partying we also did fun activities like go snorkeling and zip lining was also something we did. We swam along the side of many colorful fish and also looked at the coral reef which is beautiful on its own.

Important people in Life

My brother George has been a very important person in my life since he was always there for me when I was younger. He is about 10 years older then me so it makes him 30 , weighs close to 200 pounds and nearly 6 ft. tall.  I always looked up to him because he was a brave person and never let himself from anyone. If it meant fighting for what was right then he would do it and this is why I respected him so much. I followed his steps and until this day I have never let anyone step over me .
Another person of great importance to me is my cousin Adrian. He is about 6'2'' and weighs around 170 lbs. He came to this country illegally at the age of 8 using my documents and I know we will both remember this forever.However, he is now a citizen of the United States. He has my most respect because he started school not knowing anyone or how to speak English even.  That soon changed and started getting to learn the language very well  in the bay area or Napa Valley to be exact. He played Varsity soccer and was in the Varsity basketball team when in high school which lead to the scholarship he received to attend  Cal State East Bay. This is his first year at the University and is having a blast with one of my friends from so-cal as his roommate  He knows how to have fun just like me , but never forgets how much our parents struggled and this is what keeps both of us working hard to accomplish our goals.
My cousin Junior on the other hand is the person who I call cousin even though we are not related.He is a very athletic person that hits the gym almost every day. His father is my godfather and our families have known each other forever so that is the reason we feel as if we were related. He is an amazing soccer player and has had the chance to play with some of the best teams all over the world. He currently plays for a semi-pro team in Ventura called Fusion. We both played for a team called Oxnard wave when we were younger and traveled to Mexico together for a very big soccer tournament. These trips that I took with him have led me to know him so well and I know that he has a great heart for the sport. His skill level is the best that I have seen from any other player that I have played with or against. He continues to amaze me with every day that passes and hope he gets rich doing what he loves.

The book Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser really went  in depth into the fast food industry and opened my eyes. It has affected me in the way that I think about the options I have before making a decision of what I will be eating. For example, I now think twice before driving into a drive thru and ask myself if that is what I really want for myself. It has made me well aware of the dangers of fast food and for this reason I try to stay away from it as much as possible. I especially try and stay away from McDonald's  The author has also made me well aware of the amount of cows being slaughtered daily in order for huge corporations like McDonald's to continue in business. I feel that if we do not put a stop to this or at least set a limit these company's will continue to expand and make things worse.

Truth: My passion for cars surpasses everything

This semester has been a good one so far at Oxnard College as well as Ventura College. I have five classes in total and attend school Monday through Thursday. Having this many classes keeps me busy with homework every night since I go to work right after school. I am at school from eight in the morning until noon and go into work around two o'clock . I am very busy during the week as you can tell except for weekend's and that is when I spend time with my family as well as friends. It is stressful since I do not have a lot of free time. However, I know all of this will pay off one day when I get my masters degree in Criminal Justice. From that point on I will start a new journey and a new life as well. Having a good paying job with good benefits is what I desire the most and that is what keeps me motivated to keep going to school. Another motivation this semester is the trip to Mexico that I will be taking with my family once school is over. I am very excited to go since I know it will be a great time and leave a lot of memories.
School has always been a priority for me ever since I was younger and no matter how tough it gets I will never give up. It has gone through my mind to just quit school sometimes because I know I can make it either way, but by getting that masters degree I am playing it safe. This will open up so many doors for me and without it I will struggle a lot more.

My pride and joy

Change

Growing up I always looked up to my brother as well as my uncle. They were both great to be around with and they always took me everywhere with them. Since they were both around the same age they would hangout together and were basically brother's. He was basically like a brother for me also. Once I became a little older was when I found out about their bad habits and started changing my mind about them. I was totally against those people that used drugs, but in this case it was my brother and uncle doing it, so I could not be mad at them for that long. I figured it was only marijuana and everyone was doing it at the time.
Even though I found out that both were smoking marijuana I continued enjoying everyday with them having a blast everywhere they took me and eventually forgot about it. I got to meet some pretty girls as a young kid and even had my first beer at a young age. This made everything worth it to me and there was no doubt in my mind they were the best brothers I could possibly have. When someone or something is this close to me I could not change my mind about how I feel toward them forever. Eventually, I will realize that not everyone is perfect and people do make mistakes.
The main reason it bugged me at first though was because I always wanted to be a cop when I grew up. So I asked myself am I going to be letting my brother or uncle smoke around me like if nothing is wrong with it and then go out and arrest someone for doing it in public. That was my main concern that my own family was doing it, so how was I going to be a cop and not say a word. However, I was young and did not really understand why they would do it.
