Fast Food


Coming from a mexican background I never  had to rely on fast food. My family eats home made food for the most part until the day and usually if we eat fast food it's just a treat or if we are on the road .When I was a child my mother was a stay at home mom and she gave us her full attention everyday by taking care of us making sure we ate healthy food. Not saying she gave us the healthiest of food but at least it was cooked at home rather then fast food.If for some reason my mother did not feel like cooking on a certain day then we would go out and eat, but even doing so we would stay away from fast food restauraunts like McDonald's . Instead, we would visit mexican restaurants or any other restauraunt where it was not fast food. As a child I have always been athletic and never had a problem with gaining weight and I might just owe this to staying away from fast food. For that reason I am proud of my parents for leading me the right way and making sure that I was eating healthier then other people .  
Now that I am all grown up it is my responsibility to stay on top of my health and I have followed the steps that my parents led me through. However, I do visit fast food restauraunts occasionally like ; McDonald's, Taco Bell, Carl's Jr. etc. , but this is only like twice a week which is very little compared to others. I just rather eat my mother's home made food which is much more appetizing . The only time I do eat fast food is when I cannot get a hold of some home made food or because I'm in a hurry and the famous "Drive thru" comes to mind. When ever I feel like eating fast food that is a whole nother story. I will go to a Mc'Donalds drive thru and order everything that I was craving. For example, I will have two 10 piece chicken nuggets , big mac, large frie, large soda, and a hot fudge sundae.  I know that seems like a lot but that is what I  have when im in the mood of eating fast food. I've been this way since I was younger and learned that having it once in a while does not affect me in anyway . Out of all fast food places I do not have a favorite one I just visit the one that is nearest to me or whatever I am craving that day. When at the Taco Bell drive thru  I usually order 3 tacos supreme,a 5 layer burrito, 1 chicken chalupa, and cant forget the large coke. That is a bigger problem for me, it has always been hard for me to stay away from soda but I will not get off topic . If I am at Carl's Jr. then I usually just go light here with a ceasar's salad or I can get a number 1 ,which is a super star if I am not mistaken along with some chilli cheese fries. The only way fast food plays a part in my current life is if I am on the road or If I want to eat it. Thankfully, I have a mother that cooks for me every day or I can cook myself also. I do not live on my own where it would be harder to stay away from fast food I believe.

Past, Present, Future




The year of 1992 is when I was born and given the name Sergio by my mother. I lived in Oxnard my entire life, but was born in Bakersfield. I was a very athletic guy from the beginning until this day. At the age of 5 I started kicking  a soccer ball around and it was not until I turned 6 years old that my father put me into a soccer team. It was a local team that only played around the county and we were the team that everyone wanted to beat. This team soon became Oxnard Wave club team which meant we got to travel all over and play the best teams from every county. It also opened up many doors for me at a young age. I played soccer constantly until about the age of 18, now its an on and off thing or when ever I get a chance to. Basketball is another sport I played as a young boy and also started from the age of six. I will admit I was also a trouble maker at this age. Throughout elementary school I would play basketball with friends and got in trouble for it one day. The reason I say this is because we would bet each other for money whether it was a regular game or a 3 point contest and it was illegal to do so in school.  One day we all got called into the office with the police present ready to give us a lesson and from then on we kept playing the same way just did not make it as obvious . The only lesson we did learn is to be more discrete, it was not something we thought was bad so we kept doing it and nothing happened. I continued to play basketball in 7th and 8th grade for the school team and was a fun experience for me.
As of now I am still going to school because getting an education is important to me. When I graduated high school in 2010 I went straight to CSUCI ,but soon discovered I was paying too much for the classes I could just take at a Junior College and pay much less. Right now I am still taking general ed. classes which is why I am enrolled in the class. Outside of school I like to go out with friends, have a good time and live life the way I want to live it. Something to know about me is that I am a car guy, mostly into muscle cars. I have had a couple of them throughout my life and really enjoy working on them. I also ride a crotch rocket and have a passion for them. Even though it is very dangerous it does not keep me from riding and this summer I had a blast doing it.
My plan is to finish my general education and transfer to SDSU. There I will get a Bachelors in criminal justice. Once I accomplish this I will become a probation officer and continue my hobby which is to build cars and enjoy them or make money off of them. One of my dreams is to own a business and that is where I am headed. I also plan on getting married, have a beautiful wife and have beautiful children. However, this is in the near future and not any time soon.
