Family

So were suppose to write about Family. And I have a lot to say about this subject. I guess to have my own family which consist of my husband and two kids. We are our own family and I'm glad to have such an amazing family. We both come from different families. So to create one of our own is great. Both families grew up in different culture. Obviously I grew up in a single parent home so  a lot  of things that happened differently then a two parent home. I never knew how close a family can be once I met my husband. I learned so much about family love and how close you can be with your siblings and uncles, and aunts, ect. My husband taught me the real meaning of family not only him but his own family. He opened my eyes to what real family is. I never have been close to any of my siblings, but my younger brother. But other then that I was never close to family. My husband also taught me how distant family can be close too. I honestly have to say he makes me wants to have a big family. Since he comes from a huge family. I didn't want anymore kids, but he makes me wants to expand our family for the best So before family was not really big in my life, but now that my husband and I have started ours. It makes it number one now. I love that I have family in my life to help me whenever I need it. Thanks to my husband.

Suprise of a lifetime

  The worst possible pain I felt was on October 16, 2007. The reason for it I was in labor. Waking up at 3:00a.m with what I thought were cramps; that would not go away. I lay in bed for three hours until I decided to go to the hospital. I arrived at the E.R  not only was I scared, but my mom and husband ( but at the time boyfriend) were also scared. I sat there for maybe three minutes; the nurse called me in and asked me a series of  questions. Then I was told to take a test. I was pregnant. I asked the nurse "Are you sure?" she said "Yes" I asked her "When am I do?" She told me "Your in labor now!" I broke down in tears right there the cold, white hallway by myself. I saw my boyfriend walking down the hallway towards me. When I saw him walking it took forever like time was slowing down. When I was going to tell him he had a change of face; like he knew what I was going to say. When he finally approach me, I said out loud "I'm pregnant!" His face just went blank and he turned so pale that at that moment I thought he would pass out.  

  After the nurse just took me into the room where I still cried my eyes out. I was now terrified to let my mom know. I hadn't told her what I just found out, but the nurse did. When she came to me I cried even harder. The nurse was trying to calm me down but I just couldn't. Then my mom came to me and said "It's okay." After hearing those words and knowing I had her support I calmed down. Now all I can think was is he okay? My boyfriend and I really didn't talk he and I were just trying to process everything that was happening. My main focus was hoping he or she would come out fine. I thought if something was going to happen or went wrong with him, it's all my fault. I was scared, nervous, and terrified. I just wanted to know he was okay. Did I hurt him? I couldn't focus on anything else, but him. A few hours of pain and people had passed. A nurse comes to me and asks "Do you want to know the sex of your baby?" I couldn't ask but my boyfriend said yes. I just waited there while my boyfriend was holding my hand; he was just as nervous as I was. I was hoping for the nurse to just say he or she was healthy. She  looks up to us and says "Your baby is fine and it's a Boy" We were happy. My boyfriend was really excited; so were both our families. It was just a joyous moment.

  Hours had passed again, and all I wanted to do was hold him. I did not get the epidural because I felt at that moment I owed him that much. I needed to feel all the pain. When it came time to push. Danny was right there holding my hand even though we barely communicated; we needed each other. My mom was on the other side holding my hand as well. I pushed then it happen at 6:20 p.m he was born. I first heard his cry. I started to crying then my boyfriend kissed me and said "Thank you." I couldn't hold him right away which I understood so I waited. So when he finally came to me. The moment I held that little baby in my arms he changed me. I have never been around a kid, nor have I changed one or fed one. But in that moment I fell in love. I realized what I wanted and needed was him. I had my family, my boyfriend (now husband), my newborn son Danny Matthew Martinez. I felt complete that everything had come to place.

 Having my son was a moment in my life I could never forget and change. I wish I would of taken better care of myself and him. But at the time I was so selfish I didn't want to accept the fact I was pregnant, that I was going to be a teenage mom. I wanted to have my freedom still I guess that is why I was still in denial so much. 

  I also wish I would of enjoyed my pregnancy everyone tells me how they wish I would of said something. They remind me all the time of a big baby shower I missed out on. But again I was thinking about me. I don't think I don't think I would of forgiven myself if something did happen to my son.  But at the moment the nurse told me he was okay. I still wasn't at ease with myself. I needed to see, hold, and hear him to make sure he was okay. When I first held him and saw and herd and felt he was fine, I thanked my grandma. She died years ago, but I felt she took care of him. She was my guardian angel. I don't believe in God, because I have different beliefs; but I do believe in angels. I don't think my son would be okay if it weren't for her. After I had my son, everything changed for the better. It's amazing how people judge you for being a teenage mom. In the hospital a social worker consoled me, I don't know hwy. But when she talked to me about all the benefits the government would give me for being a teen mom. I said no, and she told me how being a single mom I can get more. When I told her I'm not single, she was surprised. I mean she just judged me right there. I had told her my boyfriend was not there at the moment because he went with my mom to buy stuff for the baby. She was still shocked. When others see me by myself with my son, they judge me. They all think  I get food stamps, welfare, etc. But I don't first of all my husband wouldn't allow it, let alone my mom. But I move on from that. I don't let it get to me. I just let it go because my son changed me to be a better person, then I have ever been.

The Cody Blog XD

  So when we were asked to interview about a fellow classmate. I was honored to have gotten Cody Codner. I was asked to ask him a series of questions. Here we go! Cody was born in West Virginia, but lived in Ohio. He moved here in 1990, yeah that long ago.  Cody is motivated by well, what else? He wants a well paying job like we all do. What his current schedule looks like, well right now Cody goes to school Monday’s-Thursday. He works on Saturday’s. And he does EMT during the fairs. He balances everything in his life by; him spending time with his family he helps out around the house. And school well he goes four days a week. Also, he works only on Saturdays’. Cody has no mentor he is his own role model.  Cody thinks of himself as a role model, because well he does everything on his own. He pays his way through school and all the expenses and a lot of people see that. He likes letting others know if he can do it on his own anybody can.  If Cody can describe himself in three words he says honest, determined, and “Special.”  Cody sees himself working as a Firefighter/EMT. Cody has one motto and one philosophy. His motto is “Hope for the best plan for the worst.” And his philosophy is “If you work hard for something you just might get it.”  Cody like a lot about Oxnard College he likes the people, and the diversity of them.  Cody thinks like us others the things that can be improved at the College well come on? Parking, cheaper books, cheaper food, because really the prices are outrages.  Cody’s culture had no part of his decision to come to college it was his own.  Well Cody’s biggest surprised about College so far was it was more fun than he expected, and of course, “Me” Sylvia Gaona. I changed his whole experience, because well I am so awesome.

Texting...Annoying

Okay so I'm a typical 21 year old, and I hate texting. Wait I wouldn't call myself typical, well cause I hate a lot of 21 year old's love like texting. I hate hearing the keypad when I'm trying to take notes. I hate hearing the vibration on a desk or in a bag. It's annoying! I know our generation is all for texting sending symbols and smiling faces for expression. I love the smiley faces. XD But seriously can we put down the phones to have an actual conversation. I mean come on.

       I also hate when people do it while their driving! It's so annoying I mean is it really that important to know what club you guys are going to meet up? Can you just pull over and see or wait until you get out of the car. I don't understand how people now in that age can drive and text. Nearly 50 percent of teens admit to text messaging while driving -- an alarming statistic that now rivals driving and drinking in terms of danger and prevalence(Vogel). I got that from an article it's amazing how much texting effects the lives of young people. But I guess that is this day of age.

Reality TV

Well I have sort of a guilt pleasure of watching it. I can say I like some of it, but then I ask myself why? I honestly do not know why I do watch it. I mean I find myself so into to it, that at some point my husband goes crazy. He finds reality tv not real. He knows that it is all fake. He tells me all the time and he just laughs that I watch it. I know it's fake but the way they lure you into to watching it is insane. I hate that I like some shows out there. I'm not going to list them cause it's too embarrassing. I wish that I can put down the remote and just get up and change it,but I can't. I wish there was something better on, but other then that I watch nothing but Nick. I have two kids so they control the TV during the day. When it's my time to watch TV I watch useless things. When I should watch something more educational. But I hope to actually grow out of it soon. Cause at this point my husband is about to lose it.

I think I also watch this stuff cause I miss the old TV. Do you remember the old Nick shows? Like the 90's I miss all those shows. I miss the old MTV; where they actually played music and not bad shows. I miss all those things from the past. I miss when watching TV was a good and fun thing to do, and not a guilty pleasure. I just miss all those shows where we all loved and really I mean really enjoy. I hope they start soon bringing those kinds of shows back. Just so this generation doesn't rely on a lot of bad acting. Come on do we really want to remember Snookie? Well I want to not remember the trash we watch now. Yes I do watch some stuff,but I do intend to stop. I mean it's so hard when you have these people making fool of themselves. I know they are paid. I mean can we talk about how much they get paid it's ridiculous. It just makes me mad that they get those kind of paychecks for drinking and doing nothing.

Now I want Fries

Well fast food was I guess you can call a regular thing. My mom always worked either regular shifts or graveyard shift. So we always had fast food. She was a single mother and trying to make it. My grandmother was the only one who actually gave us homemade food. She hated when my mom fed up fast food. But my mom was tired all the time and when she did buy food it was like microwavable food. After that it was really mellow. We would go everywhere to eat even restaurants. But I guess as kids we loved it cause we got kid's meal's. So for us it was fine of course as kids do you really have a choice? I mean as a kid your just told what to do, so we just ate what we got. When I think back at my childhood I hate that we always had fast food. I wish my mom had more time to spend with us and have those nice family dinner's. But I know what she had to do in order for us to have what we needed. So I just deal with my past on fast food.

At this point in my life fast food s not as big in my life anymore. I have kids now and I don't want them to get use to eating it. I don't want them to grow up on fast food like I did. I want them to live healthy lives. I want them to eat more veggies and fruits. Now that I'm older I have a say of what to eat, epically when it comes to my kids. My husband hates fast food he never really had it as a child. So to him going from not really having it to always he despises it. He gets mad when I suggest it but then I just change my mind cause of him. In a good way. To know that someone else is watching my health is nice. I know now what I need to continue to do. I like that my kids are not that huge on fast food. I like that my kids eat what's good for them and not what may hurt them in the future. I mean come on I'm still obsessed with fries. It could be anywhere I just need them.
