Maricruz's Past, Present, and Future

The 18 years of my existence have not been the most memorable of all; furthermore, i have had the same ups and downs like many others. I am the middle child of three children. My older brother, Luis, is 22 years old, and my younger sister, Graciela, is 17 years old. My past does not bring a lot of good memories to me. I recall my childhood as a sad, and violent childhood. As a child I saw, and heard many things a child should not see, and hear at a such young age. Because my parents would always be fighting, my sister and I would always isolate ourselves. All we would hear was screaming and sometimes we would see our parents hit each other. The only comfort i had was my sister. I grew up with no comfort or appreciation from my parents. It was hurtful to never receive a hug or kiss from at least one of my parents. Because they knew they were never around, my parents believed that with buying us everything, everything was going to be okay. Our parents gave us everything and more than what we needed, but the one thing they were short of was love.
The lack of love has greatly impacted my present. Even though things have changed, I still feel an emptiness that was built when I was a child. Because of my past, I am an insecure girl. I am not comfortable with myself in all aspects. Attending college helps me forget about things. Unlike my childhood, now my parents are being really supportive. They show more appreciation, and for once i feel like I am making them proud. College is not the easiest thing for me right now, but I know its not impossible either. Doing my best in school is my number one priority right now. I am not worrying about my love life or anything else.
My past, and present are going to greatly influence my future. In the future I am going to be more aware, and more mature. The mistakes my parents once made are going to be a reminder to me. I want to accomplish many things; furthermore, I want to have a good education in order to have a good job. I want a job that its going to give me a flexible schedule to be both at work, and with the family. I see my future full of prosperity, and dreams. Also, in my future there is going to be my prince charming, a man that is going to be with me through the thins and thicks. I hope my future holds the best for me but only God knows what he has stored for us.
