Fast food played a regular part of my childhood. I remember every weekend when I was not in school my dad would take my sister and I to go get McDonald’s or Taco bell. I remember mostly eating McDonald’s happy meals. I used to love to go there because I would get a toy with my meal and McDonalds had the best toys out of all the places to eat. So, I always asked to go there. Sometimes it was not just a weekend thing; sometimes we would eat it when everyone was just too lazy to cook anything.
Right now fast food is a very big part of my life. I feel almost reliant on it sometimes. I usually eat at least one meal out a day, sometimes more. My favorite place to eat is Taco bell. I like to eat out because it is fast and convenient and I do not have to make myself food all the time. If I am in a hurry it is nice just to have an instant meal almost. Even though it is bad for you I actually lost weight when I ate out more so I’m not worried about that but sometimes I worry I am not feeding myself the right nutrition. However, that will not stop me from eating out still.

Assignment #1
Savanna Mejia
Past, Present, and Future
I was born in Oxnard, and have lived in Oxnard all my life. When I was younger my parents divorced and my grandmother raised my sister and I. My grandmother taught me how to cook and clean at an early age and was a major influence to me. She was very religious and I went to a catholic school up until high school. I hardly saw my mother and my dad worked all day. When I was younger, I used to pick out music from my dad’s c.d’s and sing in his bedroom when he was gone. My mother moved a lot and had 3 more children, my brothers, which I would baby-sit when I visited her.
Right now in my life I am currently a full time student at community college. This is my second year taking classes. I also work full time in a café. I make sandwiches, smoothies, coffee, salads, and serve cheesecake. I have been told I am crazy for doing both but I feel better knowing I am doing something productive with my time. Also, even though it is scarce my free time is spent mostly with my friends or listening to music. My friend got me into raving and I spent my summer checking out local raves. However, I am pretty open about music, and I am taking lessons to sing.
I am always hoping for my future. Every day is a new beginning to discover something new. When I think of my future, I picture myself hopefully with a teaching job. I am aiming to become an English teacher. Sometimes I picture myself in another country teaching English as a second language. I would like to travel, although I am extremely frightened of airplanes. Other times I picture myself singing for entertainment. Either way I want to inspire people with my career choice and make a difference in people’s lives.
