Obstacle i had overcome throughout my life is getting through my parents divorce and mistakes that had been made. Getting through the years when it was happening was rough when you were only the age of twelve, when not knowing you were developing symptoms of depression. Looking back, growing up in a well situated family was a heart warming experience, even when i wasn’t appreciating the moments i had with my family. Until everything went downhill hitting my brothers and i with surprise.
My name is Amanda Gutierrez. I am from Lindsay, California was born on June 22, 1998 in Lindsay. I am the only girl out of two older brothers no sisters. Through the years of when i was born to age 11 i had a normal childhood; went to school, hung out with friends, had birthday parties, had family vacations, and spent time with family members. My personality back then was; unappreciative, ungrateful, diva little girl. I couldn’t appreciate anything i had, places i’ve been, and the support. I took my childhood for granted thinking life would be the same throughout everything. The year of 2012 is when everything took into place. My mother had gotten a new job as a c.o. only doing it for the money. Couple of weeks into the job she started feeling depressed because of how much she did not like it. She got with people who dealt with drugs and started doing the same as them. Anger started coming out of her and she took it out on my brothers, dad, and i, us not knowing what was going on until she lost her job. During 9th grade my dad had tried getting things together with my mom again, it went back to the same old thing, and it ended with a divorce.
While living with my mom i had developed depression; I didn’t have the strength to hang out with my friends like i used to, i started getting bad grades; not caring much, and just wasn’t the same. During sophomore year i moved in with my dad getting myself back together. My dad side of the family was a great support system who had goals in life making me wanting to do the same. I have pulled together better values for myself; more appreciating and being more grateful for the things i have. I started caring much more about my education and focusing on who i’ll be in the future. Through those years i have became a more better respecting, loving person, and by that my dad has helped me the most. I have accepted the fact of how everything turned out and forgave my mother for the mistakes she has made. In the future i’m hoping i’ll turn out into being a successful person by accomplishing my goals to get into the medical field in being a RN.
