                                        About Self Speech

Think of the color yellow, I see bright, feel happiness, and vibrant. Positive, biggest smile, sees the best in people. Tall like a sunflower. Fire, rely on gut level instincts, flare up when inspired, and very passionate about life.

 I always knew I was different from my older siblings. I know I was my parent’s headache growing up, but here I am at 23 and the thought of leaving them leaves a knot in my stomach. Old school strict parents, oh how I hated that I couldn’t sleepover, or hangout at my friend’s house, fast forward to now I am thankful they raised me that way. My household is traditional my sister and brother set the standards, university graduates, started their careers, and got married. So, my parents expect that with me. My biggest role is making myself and them happy.

        Daydreaming is my middle name; my mind always wanders especially in class or church. My thoughts can be either realistic or not. My biggest thought is what, who, and when will I become the person I’ve been dreaming about my whole life, who will I marry, what house will I have, what school I will teach. Also, will I be okay with leaving California to live in a small-town middle of nowhere Elko Nevada, will I be okay with being away from my family to marry the guy I love. I am a family girl, family means everything, visiting my siblings in Los Angeles to spoil my nieces and nephews spend time with them and take them out they are my world. Biggest life goal/dream becoming a college professor, I know I love to help people out. Working with kids I hope I make an impact, I want to be the positive in whatever down they have.

        Adventurer I’ll always say yes to a fun time. I’m always planning my next big move. My whole life up until 22 my summers and winters would be well spent in Mexico. Mexico is my home away from home, it’s my freedom. Traveling is my sweet little high it’s all I need, I constantly stalk flights to see where I go to next with my boyfriend. But my life has been pretty busy this year, and I am in need of a nice vacation.

        10 years ago, 13-year-old me would be like yeah, college degree, career started, married, and owning a house. 23-year-old me working to get my bachelors, not married, have not started my degree, and don’t own a house yet. Am I disappointed no, I like the pace I have taken, and I know I will start my journey soon.

                                I am yellow, bright, happy, and vibrant.
