STEM Major:Embryology

Career Interest:

My career goals are to complete both High School and College with a Master's Degree in Biology. I want to be a an embryologist, simply because they get to study the beginning of life and the science behind reproduction.

About Me

I'm someone who puts education before anything else. I want to be someone in life. I'm really responsible when it comes to school and my priorities. I have an attitude that sometimes brings the unexpected of me. My goals are to be an embryologist in life, meet different people and get to know them. There's going to be a lot of obstacles that I will have to overcome, but I know that I can do anything if I put my mind to it. I have overcame obstacles that thought I wasn't going to for example; my shyness, little by little I'm overcoming it. Other obstacles that I overcame was losing an important person in my life. I want to be able to look back and say I was capable of doing it.

I like spending time with my family. I also like reading books that are mysterious and secretive. I try to keep my grades up because I feel disappointed in me, even if I get a C. My parents are there for me and they support all the decisions I make. I also like to play sports, especially soccer. My favorite team is Real Madrid and my favorite soccer player is Cristiano Ronaldo. Sometimes I leave my friends just to go play soccer or support my brother, cause after all my family comes first. People think that it's bad to stay away from your friends, but really it's not. I also like playing volleyball wiht my dad, but my main sport is soccer. I can't go days without playing soccer. I feel like they take my life away when they take soccer away from me.
