Joseph's Life

  • Birth

    Birth
    I was born in a small town called Watsonville in California. I was almost immediately adopted by the two parents that I love to this day. Everything they've done for me is beyond amazing. Annnnd I loved hats as you can see.
  • Yosemite and more

    Yosemite and more
    I was proud to call myself a traveler when I was a child because I was! I went to Yosemite National Park in 1999 but I also traveled to many other places, one of them being Guadalajara! To this day, I still travel with my father either to old places we used to go to a lot or some new places.
  • Father-Son times

    Father-Son times
    I went to a lot of my Dad's work parties in 1999 because he really loves to take me everywhere and a lot of his friends liked me. I thought it was pretty cool. Whenever I visit him now and one of those parties takes place, I'll still go.
  • Ouch! I think.

    Ouch! I think.
    It was around this time where I broke my right arm. I was on the swings in my backyard while my cousin was pushing me. I guess at the time, she thought it was funny to push a 2 year old off a swing, because that's exactly what she did to me. The funny part is, I never cried! As a matter of fact, I was actually playing with my arm!
  • Divorce

    Divorce
    The lowest time ever in my life was when my parents made the decision to divorce in 2002. This got to me real bad because I never wanted my parents to leave one another. I never knew what divorce was or anything so seeing them split was confusing and saddening to me.
  • Amesti Elementary

    Amesti Elementary
    Elementary school sounded real exciting to me. I didn't even cry on my first day of kindergarten. I made lots of friends, some who which I still talk to, and I was always a polite kid. I never got suspended or anything. I made it and was proud of myself for it.
  • Accident

    Accident
    I unfortunely got in a bad car accident on December of 2009. I was on my way back to California from Baja with my dad and a couple of my uncles and it was around 2 in the morning. I had barely woken up and I sat up since I was laying on the seat and out of no where a horse jumps right in front of us and we collide. Thankfully none of us was injured but the horse died. The thing that also sucks was that the car my dad was driving was a rental! He was able to pay it off and we continued on our way
  • The Big Move

    The Big Move
    My mom was dating my stepdad throughout my middle school years and shortly after graduation and my birthday, we made the big decision to move from a small town in California to the big city known as Phoenix, Arizona. It was hard because of all the packing and such but we made it here. Too bad it was in the summer because it was super hot! I like it here though. This place is a lot different but I got used to it.
  • First day of High School

    First day of High School
    This was one of the most nervous day of my life so far. I didn't know ANYBODY and I was kind of scared. I made it through the day but oh my god, you do not believe how much I was sweating! I didn't make any friends until the 2nd week.
  • Today!

    Today!
    Well it's today that I celebrate me becoming 17, even though my birthday is on the 7th! I will have friends over my house and we will go swimming and have ourselves some steak with donuts for dessert! For me, being 17 is important because it shows how much I made it in life and how close I am to becoming a legal adult.
