          Hello, I’m Danielle Hernandez and I would like to talk about my past, who I am today, and what I want to accomplish in the future. About my backgrounds, I’ve lived here in California my whole life; I’m 100% Mexican American with a family of five and three rescue dogs. As a child I had the privilege of a wonderful home, family, and friends. I wasn’t your average angel daughter who played with her dolls, but more of a tom boy that spent time with the boys outside. I went through hardships with death of my great grandmother, grandfather, friends and relatives, went through the obstacle of who I am, and trying to figure out how my family would except me for me, but all these struggles made me who I am today.
         Speaking of who I am today, I’m seventeen years young that is very happy with my life. I’m a hard working student athlete. I work in Ventura, a full time student here at Oxnard College taking 15 units, and play for the girls’ basketball team here. I have a busy schedule so on my free time I spend it with my best friends either going out, or simply hanging out at each other’s houses eating each other’s food. I try to live life to the fullest which my parents may not like, but you only have one life so why not take some risks and have fun. I’m not a serious person what so ever, I like to laugh and make others laugh as well. There’s a lot to who I am, very social and outgoing.
          I see myself in the future as a successful woman who has her head on straight and who enjoys her career. I wouldn’t prefer a “sit behind a desk” career, but if I enjoy it and like what I do then I wouldn’t mind. As for after college, I would like to continue playing basketball, but if that doesn’t happen then I’ll start on whatever career I want to pursue because If I have my mind set on something then I’m going to go through it and succeed. In ten years I would like to have a house with my family and live as my parents do with no worries of finance and a full family and pets. I see myself as happy as I am right now if not more in the future and for sure not going to let anyone get in the way of my happiness and success.
