Hey y'all! I was born in a small city called Ridgecrest, CA. I lived there until I was in middle school and thats when my family moved to Sacramento. I consider Sacramento the place I was raised, I met all my close friends here and graduated here. I lived in a single family home and I was the oldest out of 4. Coming from a broken family I saw and experienced a lot of things that gave me a very negative outlook of the world, my family briefly moved to Virginia where I was kicked out of the house at the age of 16. Not really knowing people or resources in Virginia, I struggled for some months before I finally came back to California. That was probably my hardest obstacle, having to navigate the world as a child and having to make adult decisions as a child. I later was able to get on my feet and it took many times for me to get it right. But I can finally say that I feel stable and comfortable. My obstacles led to my passions, and I decided I wanted to help people. I just want to be the person I needed growing up. I was to become a child psychologist in a juvenile setting or with foster youth this is major to me because the childhood is so important and the kids who aren't dealt the best cards need to know they still have a chance in this world. Im currently an ECE major at Sac City but I will go to major in child development as well as a masters in Psychology. I plan to get my Doctorate degree so I plan on being in school for some time, but it's all going to be worth it in the end!
