I am....

Elizabeth 21years old studying at SJCC. After I graduated high school I was kind of hesitant about going on to college, I had no idea what I wanted to study... so that is why I decided to go onto a community college, and until today I still keep changing my major, it's just too hard for me to decide. The one thing I do know is that getting an education is very important not only to me but to my family as well. I was born and raised in San Jose, been living at the same house my whole life which is kind of rare to hear from a family now a days so i'm kind of proud of that. My parents were both born and raised in Mexico they been living in the United States for over 20 years now. I come from a big family, 2 brothers and 2 sisters, and me being the oldest, so the pressure about being the role model is always there. I don't mind mind it though, it just motivates even more to do well in school. I'm very family oriented so making them proud is one of my biggest goals in life. I attended Lincoln High School and there I was part of a folklorico dance team, a Mexican traditional dance. We were called Xochitl and I absolutely loved it. Now that I've graduated I really miss it, so on my free time I try my best to go back once in a while and just dance along with the new members. We dance old stuff and learn new things as well. I also enjoy going to the gym and going out spending time with my friends and family. Career goals wise I'm not to sure, but I do know that I want to transfer into a 4year University and hopefully that is soon.  I love to write and read especially when it's books that I feel related to or stuff that can actually happen to us in the real life. This semester I hope to improve not only my writing but my reading too. I'm sure I'll enjoy this class.
