Past, Present, and Future


My name is Brandon Aoki.  I was born in Oxnard April 4, 1996 but moved to Camarillo when I was about 4 years old.  I have a younger sister which makes me the oldest sibling.  Just about all of my memories involve some type of sport.  I've played soccer and baseball since I was 8 and basketball since I was 10.  When I was 12, my baseball team traveled to Cooperstown, New York to play in a tournament that is home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.  That was one of the greatest experiences of my life, even though we didn't win the tournament.  I attended Adolfo Camarillo High School where I played soccer freshman and sophomore year and baseball for all 4 years.  I ended up meeting my best friends through these sports and so it was fitting that we graduated together this past year.

I'm a full time student at Oxnard College and it feels awkward calling myself a college student. Right now my major is business administration. I am currently playing for the baseball team at Oxnard College. Since I only go to school Monday through Thursday I have a lot more spare time then when I was in high school.  My time is spent with Netflix, the beach, fishing, or just hanging out with my friends.  I don't have a job at the moment but I will need to get one soon because driving from Camarillo to Oxnard 2 times a day for school and practice adds up.

My plan is to transfer from Oxnard to a four year university where I can get a degree and look for a career.  Eventually, a family will be in the picture with a wife, kids, and a few pets.  I hope to still be living in California, or at least any place that's along the coast because I love the beach.  The future is still unknown to me but I can't wait to see what it has in store.
