Life Paragraph

Part 1 -

If there is one thing I hate about myself is that I find that people tend to try to .make me mad because they know how it makes me react. This makes me frustrated quite a lot of the time because I know that in many situations people do it on purpose knowing how I will react and do it just for the pleasure of themselves. When this happens I find myself trying to understand for what possible reason they could be doing this and I try to examine the situation so I have a better understanding of why. Most of the time this doesn’t always work and people do it just because they love my reaction. So I found that I just don’t need to give people the time of day when they are purposely trying to make me mad. When people do this to me, I try to just blow them off and try to ignore them to the fullest extent in order to not let myself be riled up by someone.

Part 2 –

San Diego is my hometown and I have been here since I was born and I don’t think I will ever leave. I love this town because it is right next to the coast and the weather is perfect, everything is within a few hours drive because San Diego is very centralized in a way that the beach, the desert, the snowy mountains and the river are all within three hours of my hometown, I love it. I like living in this populated town but sometimes I feel that there are just too many people in San Diego and I feel that it is overpopulated in many areas. The good things about San Diego definitely outweigh the bad things of San Diego and I find myself often just sitting back and enjoying San Diego as a whole. I love to drive around and learn new areas while exploring a place that I have hardly seen much of simply because I love to drive in nice areas. The views and landscapes within San Diego are phenomenal and I don’t know what I would do without

all of the lookout spots that I find. I love my city and I don’t think I ever want to move.

Part 3 –

I was born on September 26, 1990 and I was the ladder of two children.

The relationships with my family are good especially through the times that we have been through together. We were raised with good morals, common sense, and logical thinking which allow us to think clear and make proper decisions. We have come closer over the past 8 years due to the loss of my father which took a toll on everyone in my family. My mom has raised me since I was in 3^rd grade and my brother since he was in 9^th, she has done it alone and for this I give my mom so much respect and I love her with all my heart. Raising two boys who saw the actions of their father and then we’re unintentionally reflected upon them is not always easy, especially because she saw him in us. My brother and I are close and we talk everyday and usually watch Adult Swim together and just talk about a bunch of random things. My mom and I talk all the time and she helps me whenever possible, our relationship is strong. These things have brought us together in everyway.

Part 4 –

A childhood game that I always used to play was Roller Hockey. I absolutely loved playing hockey and to this day I still do. My friends and I used to gather around on a flat street and set up goal posts, lace up our nice hockey skates and just play for like two of three hours just having a lot of fun with roughly six or seven people. As I got older and my friends moved away, I had to find another place to play so I went to the YMCA and played roller hockey there. I loved the YMCA although it took me a little while to really excel and roller hockey but it also took playing with bad players and good players and bad coaches and good coaches to better understand the game of hockey. As I got old I absolutely loved hockey and I was rather good at it, I loved being a forward and just “juking” people while making my way down the rink. I was good at keeping the puck and although I didn’t have a slap shot, my wrist shot was so accurate and so strong that it made up for me not even knowing how to do a slap shot. I played hockey for about 5 or 6 years.

Part 5 –

Someone who has made a big difference in my life is my mom. She has helped me through countless hardships and problems and through this I know that my mom will always be there for me no matter what. She has talked me through struggles and helped me come out on top, she is an amazing person and I don’t know how she finds time to do all of the things that she does. She gets up at 5:00 every morning and then goes to work from 8:00 until about 6:00-8:30 everyday of the week and then comes home and makes me dinner usually because my brother isn’t there and then we watch T.V. and she goes to sleep at 10:00-11:00. She does so much for me and I cannot even begin to explain how much I respect my mom, she is an amazing person.
