My name is Valerie and I was born in Camarillo, California, I grew up with one older brother and both of my parents. My childhood seemed like any type of childhood. The one thing I remember about my childhood is going over to my great grandma's house every weekend and everyone would be there and always have a good time. At that house, my cousins and I would play and run around outside always up to something and having to look over our shoulders for the adults checking in on us. I grew up in the same area as my older family members went to the schools and they all went to thesame schools from Parkview Elementary to Hueneme High School and being the last of my family to graduate from there.
I am now 18 and attending college full time. I am working towards getting a bachelor's degree in Biology and maybe one day a master's degree. When I'm not at school I am at home cleaning and taking care of my dogs. I take on the responsibility of taking care of things while my parents work full time and my brother is off who knows what he is doing or where he is.
In my future, I want to be able to support my family and have a job that I love doing. I want to teach biology and coach a volleyball team. I want two kids and when my parents get older I want to be able to support them like they have always done for me in my life. I want to be able to live comfortably and have a strong family bond like when I was a kid because those have always been my best memories.
