Welcome to life, my name is Joseph Rodriguez; I am 18 years old and I just graduated from high school. This will be my first year in college; to get there it was not easy. But you know how they always say life is never easy. Someone that help me get threw a lot of thing was my lovely mother; she influenced my life in so many ways. She always told me to get threw in life you will need to succeed. Before all that got in to my head, I was a little bad kid that never listens to no one. This is where my life starts.
You know; when you were a little kid you wanted to go to school, you couldn’t wait for the first day of class. Not me, I never liked to be in a class; especially with no kids. That sort of came from me being in daycare; I always use to fight for toys and other little kid stuff. My first day in school was really bad, I didn’t know anyone, I didn’t even know English; on top of that I was only four years old. Now just image a four year old in the first grade with five and six year old kids, not knowing English. What a life! Tell me about it. That year was the worst year of my life, I got left back and I felt like school was not for me, so I hated it more then ever, but I did learn how to speak English. So from there my mother will always help me with my school work, as I started to pass from grade to grade. Until; I got in to high school.
I went to La Salle Academy, where the drugs were better then the teachers, as the pot heads use to say. I was living a life where things just keep on coming, people will try to pursuer you to smoke weed, even if you said no; they will still ask you. Where girls will do anything to catch your attention, even if it’s you going to their house and having sex with them, they didn’t care. They just wanted you to want them. So I did, and I did that a lot of times in my high school life; and that was just coming out of elementary school. My life was just with the lady’s in out, one to day and another one the next day, it just didn’t matter to me. That was all in the first semester of high school, in which I did VERY BAD. I didn’t know what to do with my life. The best thing was to drop out of high school, that’s what I thought. Then here comes my mom; Super Women. She wanted talk to me about what was I doing in school and about other things and I just didn’t want to listen to her, so I just kept doing what I was doing. Having sex with all of those girls and not give a dame about life, just living it to the fullest and just really having fun. Until I failed my freshmen year and haft of my sophomore year, that’s when it hit me hard in my head, what about college?
So from there on I just stop what I was doing, started to talk to mom on a daily bases. By talking to my mom I saw life to be changing, all those times my mom try to help me out with school and all those other things I just ignored her. So really my mom didn’t influence me in any way. She helped me get me get a new life, in which is the one I am living now. I graduated from high school and now in my first year of college, trying to do the best that I can to bring a degree home.
Has anyone ever tried to influence your life in any way possible? My mom has, influencing me in many ways, from the begging of my life in school to now in my college days. My life wasn’t rich with joy but it was rich with love, that is what matters most to me.
