HI EVERYONE,

MY NAME IS JACKIE RIVERA AND I'M 17 YRS OLD. I ATTENDED ORANGE GLEN HIGH SCHOOL IN ESCONDIDO AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT . ITS FILLED WITH AWESOME STUDENTS AND GREAT TEACHERS AND STAFF. UMM SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME ... I HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN I WAS GOING TO COLLEGE MY PARENTS DID A VERY GOOD JOB OF ENCOURAGING MY SISTERS AND I, TO DO WELL IN SCHOOL SO THAT WE COULD ATTEND COLLEGE AND BE SUCCESSFUL AND IM HALF WAY THERE !!!!! WELL I AM GOING TO BE HONEST WITH YOU GUYS ..... I DID NOT WANT TO ATTEND CSUSM AT ALL .... IT WAS ACTUALLY MY LAST OPTION , I HAD ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT LEAVING HOME TO GO TO COLLEGE SO THAT I COULD HAVE THE FULL COLLEGE EXPERIENCE LIKE MOST OF YOU GUYS ARE HAVING BUT MY PARENTS DIDN'T WANT ME TO LEAVE HOME ( I CONSIDER HOME WHERE EVER MY PARENTS ARE) SO I DECIDED TO ATTEND CSUSM FOR THEM.... I SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED LEAVING BUT I STAYED I WOULD NOT LEAVE WITHOUT THEIR BLESSING. SO YEA IM UNDECIDED ABOUT MY MAJOR BUT IM CONSIDERING HUMAN DEVELOPMENT SO THAT I COULD HELP PEOPLE ESPECIALLY CHILDREN. WELL ON MY FREE TIME (WHEN I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME) I LOVE TO GO OUT AND EAT WITH FRIENDS AND MY BOYFRIEND JAVIER... UMM I ALSO TO LIKE TO READ, WATCH MOVIES, AND DRIVE AROUND AND VOLUNTEER . FINALLY MY DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS FOR THE FUTURE ARE TO GO TO THE PEACE CORPS, GET MARRIED AND HAVE AND ADOPT MANY KIDS .
