Autobiography: Growing Up In Indiantown
Autobiography
Family Background
Growing up in Indiantown - with a population of less than 5,000 people, there was little to no chance of development. During middle school, my mother and I moved to Bartow (slightly bigger, with 15k people), with little opportunity for development. After High School, I moved to Orlando with my mother so we could live closer to her job. Thankfully, Orlando (at least now) is ripe with opportunity and growth. In Indiantown, there were several of my mother’s siblings (and their children) living here, as well, but majority of the population were Spanish-speaking and retirees. So, there was little chance to socialize, other than with my relatives. And my mother’s family was anything but role-models; and I didn’t …show more content…
However, I am a slow reader, so I believe that has some influence, as well. My current major, Business, was not what I would have expected to pursue if someone had said so, then.

My interests are so varied; what I enjoy versus what I am willing and able to achieve 40 hours out of the week are two very different things. I had always thought of being a Veterinarian, but can’t stand to see animals suffering. I had also considered something in animal behavior, but had no idea on how to pursue that direction. So, I choose a Business major, not only because it compliments my current career path, but it is also a universal major that would be beneficial in multiple areas, regardless of which path I choose. I have considered a graduate program in Business, as well, hoping that there is one gravitating towards Logistics and Supply Chain Management. Work Experience
Almost all of my work experiences began after I was 18, for the reason that it became almost impossible to find open positions in my age range. I had attempted to find a job since I was 14 – needing something other than school to keep my
