My Future

20 Years Later

It has been 20 years now and I am now 33 years old on my way to turning 34 in a couple of months. It is hard to believe that I was once a young girl dealing with the basic school, friends, parents, and of course BOYS. But now I am a talented fashion designer and I now own my own clothing line. But it wasn’t so easy as it might seem. I went through a lot of obstacles to get to where I am now. When I was 13 years old close to turning 14 things started to get more complicated, and I started to realize that you cant always get what you want. Like one day I clearly remember when I went to the mall and I wanted these really cute ROCAWEAR jeans, and I thought they would be the perfect fit for me. Until a girl came out of the dressing room to show her friend and she was wearing the jeans I was planning to try on myself. Then I realized that I had made a huge mistake in even thinking about wearing them or even trying them on. I had realized that this pair of jeans was meant for a normal sized girl with the perfect body, and that I would never ever look the same way this girl did. So as I hope any girl did I started to go on a diet, and started to work out excessively. But one day I finally realized that size and looks aren’t that important. But anyway, that’s not all as many of you that have known me you probably know me you guys no that I’m Mexican. Well almost every girl that comes from a Mexican family it is known to have a quienceanera at the age of 15. It is a girl’s dream to have one of these on that special that you turn 15. This whole celebration is a symbol of that once you turn15 you are a young lady and you are not longer a kid. For some families it maybe easy, but for my family it was a very difficult thing I may have come from a small family but both of my siblings are girls and I mean if it was a possibility that this party was going to happen my parents would have to do the best of earning money for the next 4 years for my other sister to have hers. So one day when there was 8 months left until I turned 15 I asked my parents if this was going to happen for me or not and they said “ YES”. But they told me there were some consequences that came along with this I could no longer have everything I wanted every time we would get to the mall. But I lived through it and the days got closer and I couldn’t believe this was going to happen to me, and all those little problems and all that drama that had happen before didn’t matter anymore. All I could think was how lucky I was to have such grateful parents like mine. So the BIG day came and it was the best thing that could have happens to me in my life so far. But surprisingly my attitude changed towards my parents I was not the young nice girl I once was. But I faced a lot of things in my past I was stuck between something that could either make my life something I could be proud of or something I will regret for the rest of my life. It involved a boy, my boyfriend he had told me that he was “ready” and he asked me if I was. But I knew that if I did do something with him I could face something my mother once did “ A CHILD”. Something that will change your life forever, I seriously thought I was ready for this to happen but then I seriously thought to myself that I cant because I want to make something good out of my life and actually be somebody. Then the right time came and I got married at the age of 24 and now I have 2 kids a girl Giselle and a boy named Alejandro and I have gone through all that and because of those things they have made me so much better
