My Life in a Very Small Nutshell

My full name is Camille Maria Leyva. I was born October 4, 1988 in a little town called Ojai. I have three brothers which makes me the only girl in the family. Two of my brothers are much older than me and I rarely have the chance to see them. My younger brother lives with me; he is in eighth grade. I live at home with my mom and my stepdad. I have no connection with my biological father so I naturally call my stepdad my real dad. In my teen years, we moved quite a bit so I have been to three different high schools. I graduated Rio Mesa in 2006 and quickly began college and working full time.

            I am currently working two jobs in Camarillo. I am a server at a café on the weekends and a veterinary surgical technician during the week; both jobs are a handful. I am presently looking for somewhere to live because I would love to be out on my own. I love drinking, music, tattoos, and Disney movies. I am a punctual person and rarely do I lose sight of my goals. I am a planner and an organizer, but I do love to have random moments in my life. My relationships are always complicated and never easy, but I’m beginning to realize maybe that’s just how relationships are. I do know one thing for sure and that is, I’m in love, even though at times I absolutely can’t stand him.

            My future is constantly changing. I do hope for the typical situation: have a career, get married, have a nice home and live happily ever after; but life is never that easy. I plan to graduate soon and get my phlebotomy license and maybe continue on to the nursing program. My biggest goal is planning to go backpacking in Europe before I turn thirty years old. I want to travel and experience as much as I can before life passes me up. I want a future that’s best for me and only I can get myself there.
