I am

I am a 20 year old college student attending Cabrillo College. I just recently moved to Santa Cruz because one of my dreams has always been to live by the beach. I have a large family, consisting of 5 kids! I am the second youngest of 4 girls and 1 boy. My brother Justin being the oldest, Jessica, Jennifer, myself, and Jamie. Being one of five children I have learned to be very patient and responsible. Having many family members limits my time to spend with my parents. I am a very athletic individual who puts full dedication into my work. I have been playing sports all my life which has taught me the meaning of commitment. I am currently working at two restaurants: Pedro’s Restaurant and Catina and Flames Coffee Shop. I have been employed by both these jobs for over 4 years. Working two jobs to support myself has been a struggle, but it has made me the strong-willed person I am today. In my free time I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I love walking on the beach and watching sports on television. I feel these assets will benefit the class because I am determined to do my best, along with wanting to help others succeed.
