This blog could reflect me a lot more. For the time being I'm going to try to grow into it. The color green the color of some of my favorite things in life: plants. I enjoy gardening every morning. Nurturing my plants gives me a sense of accomplishment and gratification when they grow and bloom. The leaves in the background remind me of autumn which isn't among my favorite seasons, but they do show my love for plants. The picture below shows one of my old fish tanks including some of the plants I've been rambling on about. My boyfriend and I have a couple fish tanks but no fake plants.

Below is our current fishtank when it was in the process of getting cycled and established.

    


     Other than gardening I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and boyfriend. I live in San Leandro with my parents, my two sisters, and my boyfriend. We coexist happily I believe we'd all agree. School and my job are very important to me because I need to be able to support myself and a family one day so I need to get an education that will lead me to a job with a substantial salary. My real passion is psychology. However, I have my reasons why I chose to change my major to biology. In this economy I see a lot of people with degrees but nowhere to use them so I chose a growing field that pays well. Below is a picture of myself and my boyfriend looking like a cerial killer.

 I'm in school to become a diagnostic medical sonographer. I chose the healthcare field because I was matched with healthcare and ultrasonography by a lot of assessments in a psychology-counseling class I took last semester. I agreed with my results completely and I think I will be great in the field. I believe getting an education is the way to make the best of your life. To be the best you can be you have to try to challenge yourself and better yourself.

     I hope to learn better communication skills in this class that will help me succeed in my career. I'm going to be working with people so I need to know how to relate, speak, analyze, listen, and read well. I've always loved English because I love having a way of saying everything in my head more efficiently out loud or on paper or the internet. I want to continue learning Spanish as well. The more I can relate and communicate with people, the better I'll be at my job.
  
 Seeing how I love to nurture, help, and take care of plants and animals shows me that I would love to do the same for people. I love healthcare because what more can you do for the human race than caring for individuals with needs? I think the fact that I like the responsibility of taking care of my plants and animals makes me more motivated in school because when I feel responsible for something getting done, it feels urgent to me. Life or death pressure is okay with me.
