I HAVE A
STRANGE LIFE

BY: JULIANNE CERVANTES

MY firstI know I have a first
friendfriend as young as age four,

but I had childhood
amnesia. Today I probably
don’t know them and they
don’t know me. Instead, I
will talk about a friend that
I’ve made when I was
young enough to
remember.
I still remember Mary
Joy. I can recall her from
our classroom. She
happened to be my
classmate that shares the
table with me. I asked her
for a pencil, instead she
gave me a color pencil.

She’s good at being stupid. I loved that about her
because that was a trait I learned from her. Now I
use that alot. By the way, we are still friends.

The value of
my education

One is that I have to be in school to get an
education. I realized it was now my responsibility
to go get my education. I have to do it for my
family. My family has provided everything for me
almost they majority of my life. They sacraficed
for me alot. Now I will sacrifice myself for them. I
will sacrafice my time, hard work, patience for
them so I can learn. 18 years of my age I will spend
in school. Then, I will get a good job and pleasure
with them with eveything they want. Everything
they have done to me have taught me traits. I’ve
learned to be hard-working, determined,patient,
and being independent. I will use these traits to
better myself as a good person.

I LOVE MYSELF

I’m a person that is different from other people.
Many people might not like the way that I am. I
know I am a good person. I care fo lots of people.
When I told people about me I experienced that
hatred for types of people like me. Many rejected
me and many accepted me. The LGBTQ+
community accepted me. I identify as bisexual
person. It being a part of me made me love myself,
its amazing. I started loving myself even more. It

brought me up so high. It made me who I am today.
I learned how to love myself even more, not like
how when I was closeted.

MY MOTHER

When I saw my mother sacrificed every single thing
to make my sister and I happy. She worked hard,
gave me food when I was hungry, gave me clothes
that I wanted even though she was out of money. I
love her for that. My mother, she is very loving,
caring, nice, giving, and the best one for me. I have
seen her work and sacrifice, hiding it behind her
smile. When she thinks I’m not around, I see her
cry. My mother cries. Her personality and how she
took care for me shapes me to be like her. I dedicate
this to her.
