Yesenia’s Life
When Yesenia was six years old; she went to elementary school in La Jolla. Yesenia was a happy little girl during her elementary school years. She had a mother that at that time who was thirty-two years old. Her mother was a single mother, who had two kids. Yesenia always thought that the actions of her only daughter have always given her mom, Sonia, a hard time. Jesus, who was her only son, also gave her a lot of headaches. During this time Yesenia's family was small it was just three people. When Yesenia was ten years old, that’s when everything started. She had her first period. When she had her first period, her whole entire world changed. This event changed the way that she started thinking.
When she turned thirteen she had her first boyfriend, who at that time was eighteen. Her and her boyfriend started doing things that never were suppose to happen, (things like sex).When she was thirteen and half, she got pregnant! When her whole family found out she was pregnant, it was shocking for them since she was just thirteen. Yesenia was just a little girl, who got pregnant by her eighteen year old boyfriend. Yesenia thought that her life was going to be much better because she was going to have her baby’s dad supporting her during her whole pregnancy. Not everything was like she thought; it turned out to be the opposite. Her mother would always tell her a saying in Spanish, "no todo esta en color de rosa," which means “everything is not of color pink,” in other words not everything is easy. Her mother was always right.
Three years later Yesenia turns sixteen and her daughter is two years old. At this time, Yesenia is almost finished with high school. One year later, Yesenia finished high school and goes to college. She decides to become a doctor and goes to medical school. After fifteen years of struggle, Yesenia, on December 7, 2025, she becomes a professional doctor with her license. Her daughter is finishing high school. I believe her mother would be proud of Yesenia and all her accomplishments.
