About
Hello,
I'm from a small reservation town near the four corners called Shiprock. I was born and raised in this small community. I am a First generation student and also the oldest of four siblings. My father had just received his GED at the age of 44 years old. My mother did not go to college but graduated high school. I have been in college for the past three years holding two to three jobs to support myself and to help with my little siblings every chance I get. I was on the president list for a while but being a full time student and working 59 hours a week caught up to me. I still have a 3.10 but I plan on trying to get it up to a 3.5 by May. I really had this plan of graduating with a 4.0 but with jobs I couldn't do it. I just want to set an example for my younger siblings in hopes that they have a better chance in life. My little sister completed her first semester of college with a 4.0.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
My ultimate goal for my career path is being a forensic analysis. But for now, I would like to make a difference in society which is why I would like to play the role of being a probation officer. As long as I am helping people better themselves I am happy wherever I end up.
- Graduate school interests
I would like to continue my education path and attend a graduate school as soon as i graduate in May, I Would like to start summer school that same month. As of now, I have no children and also single. I would like to get my masters before I settle down and start a family. My only problem is I don't have the resources to continue, I have tried and tried to get a loan with a lot of companies especially Wells Fargo but keep getting denied.
- Outside the classroom
Since I had started college, I have been working at least two jobs! My junior and part of my senior year I held three jobs while going to school full time. My hobbies are working and sleeping. I didn't have the privilege of experiencing the full college life because I was either working, school, or doing homework. I had to find a way to support myself and pay for school and books. So my hobbies as of now are working.
