About Me
It is difficult for me to give a comprehensive explanation of who I am, for my identity unfolds more and more as the days go by and my experience grows. Considering that I am only 17 years old, my life has a lot of unfolding to do. I was born in visalia, California but was raised in an even smaller town named Lindsay. I take pride in both my mother and fathers culture; Mexican. I am the second youngest of four, which includes my little sister Brenda and my two older brothers; Adrian and Luis. I try to be a well-rounded person as much as I can be. Although I rarely express it, I have always had a great passion for school. Academics have always been a place where I truly feel like I fit in. Throughout high school my social circle has gotten smaller, though I am someone who can be completely alone and be entertained for hours. I have learned to not rely on others for my happiness. I know that I am the only one capable of determining my future, happiness, and success and I self-motivated enough to ensure that I will not fail. I absolutely love trying new things, meeting new faces, and exploring new places. I am the kind of girl who would rather go on an adventure and discover new hangout spots or go stargazing at night than to go shopping or to the movies. I am not worried that I don't know everything about myself. As I get older I'll figure it out. That is part of this whole journey, discovering your interests, abilities, and who you are as a person, but there is one thing I know for a fact. I, Angelica Vasquez, am a small town girl with big dreams who is determined and willing to do whatever it takes to reach them.
