Past, Present, and Future

 

I was born as Giovanni Prado on October 9, 1992. I am the second oldest of four children. I have an older sister named Ana that is 21 years old, then it's me at 19, a little brother that's 13, and finally my little sister that is 5. Our parents names are Jose and Lourdes Prado. As a young kid and teenager, I was an athletic guy. I have played flag football, basketball, and soccer. Both flag football and basketball were for my elementary school's team. However, I only played flag football for one year, when I was in 4^th grade. Basketball interested me more and I played when I was in 5^th and 6^th grade. When I played in 6^th grade was the most memorable season. Our team went undefeated the whole season and we went on to win a 1^st place trophy, which I still have. I played soccer for a local league called American Youth Soccer Organization, or AYSO. I played for 3 years and went undefeated in Oxnard for the last year. We finally lost and our season was over when we went to play against the Santa Barbara league. I now, and always have, lived in Ventura County. I was born in the old St. John's Hospital and lived with my uncle in their house. When I was just 6 months, we moved to Port Hueneme and have lived there ever since.

I am now 19 years old and attend Oxnard College as a full time student. I have a son that is a year and a half old. His name is Christopher Giovanni Prado. I like to spend as much time as I can with him and do what I can to keep him healthy. For him, I am currently a part time employee at Pep Boys. I am still in a relationship with my baby's mom and I plan to keep it that way. They are both the world to me and I can't stand being away from them, but I have to in order to give them all their necessities. I still live with my parents, but I am mostly always at my girlfriend's house, since my son lives with her. I own a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid and I have had it for about 3 or 4 months. It is, however, not my first car. My first car was a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta. I use my current car all the time for things such as school, work, and my son's and girlfriend's doctor's appointments.

I plan to transfer from Oxnard College over to California State University, Channel Islands. I want to graduate from there with a bachelor's degree in Business. Once I accomplish that goal, I would love to get a career in which I won't get bored. My dream job is one where I will always be doing something that will take time and effort in order to make the days go by faster. The schedule I would love to have is during the day, one where I would be home by around 5 or 6 P.M. A house I would like to live in would have to be mine, not rented or and apartment. I would like to have a big two story house with a pool in the backyard. However, that would be too big of a house to be my first house and too big for just me, my girlfriend, and our son. What I would like to have as a first house would be something simple like a 2 or 3 bedroom. I would also settle for an apartment as my first place. In order to accomplish these future goals, I would need to accomplish my current goals first.
