fast FOOD

Fast food was never something I would eat often. To me and my sister it was more of a treat. I remember my mom cooking at home all the time. She was the type of parent that thought we should always eat healthy. We would maybe go out to fast food once a month or twice maximum. It wasnt like most kids that go out for fast food almost everyday and some more than once a day. My mom would always make us eat vegetables. For example spinach, I hated how she cooked them and tried to get us to eat it. When we did get to go out we would go to McDonalds. I loved getting the kids meal, i would choose the chicken McNuggets. I think every little kid still likes that.


I think i am so bad with fast food now compared to when i was a kid. I can eat fast food up to three times a week. Something i would never do if my mom was still on my case like before. I don't rely on it because i can eat at home, sometimes i just choose not to. I eat out half of the time, like the last three months of high school i would eat fast food three times a week for sure. That became a habit and it wasn't a good one at all. I don't think it is a good thing specially for my body. I do a lot of exercise but eating unhealthy doesn't help me getting in shape. It just makes it harder and builds up more calories that i need to burn off. If i go to McDonalds for breakfast once a week, only that meal is more than one thousand calories. Those types of food are the ones i should avoid. I should try to eat like before. When i was a child and I ate at home and I had the right diet going on. Fast food sometimes just makes me feel lethargic and it's not good at all. Eating fast food too much can hurt anyone in the long run.

A little about my life =)

My name is Alicia valdez I am 17 years old, i was born October 23,1992. I have lived in Oxnard my whole life. When i look into my past i remember all the wild but yet fun things that went on during my childhood. All the times I went out of town with my mom and older sister. We would go out often to many different places, w would go camping or to theme parks. My mom was always my mom and dad to me and still is. I remember she would always be there for me. I have never lived with my dad, he left our house when i was only three days born. It doesnt really affect me i have always thought that it was his loss. My mom does a really good job being a single parent.


I have many things going on right now. I just graduated from Oxanrd High School in June 2010. I am now a full time student in Oxnard College and i also work at the Financial Aid office. Another thing i do in Oxnard College is play for the women's soccer team. I really enjoy playing soccer, it keeps me active and it sets my mind away from other things while im playing. I recently bought a dog, it is a mixed chihuahua named tinkerbell she is two months old. My life right now is very busy buit I like it that way as long as i can keep up.

In my future I see myself working with kids, im really not sure how but I know that is something I will be doing. I can also see myself having kids of my own in one point. Having a family and trying to be a good mom like the one I have. Teach my children the best things of life and have a lot of fun with them. I want them to enjoy their childhood just like me. I don't see any of that happening any time soon but I know that when the time is right i will make the right decisions for me and my loved ones.
