Journal 1

I'm going to introduce myself I want to tell you about my background, achievements, and my goals. My name is Leticia Chacon I was born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico. I'm the youngest of my two sisters as the youngest I was extremely spoilt by my mother who always tried to do anything for me. I raised close to my parents whou taught me good values and principles which are part important in my life. I lived a wonderful infancy I have good memories of it.
Since I was eight years old, I wished to study law and to become a lawyer. My parents thought that I would have changed my way of thinking as soon as I was grew up, but what a surprise to them because I never changed. When I was 18 years old, I was admitted in The University of Guadalajara. I was a good student always I got good grades, but I was not the kind of student who spent the whole day just studying. I liked to go out with friends to the cinema, clubes, excursions, and parks. I really enjoyed my time at the university where I made good friends.
After 4 years studying law, I became a lawyer. I worked one year for a office lawyer and two years for a famous bank in Mexico. Even when I had a job, a family, and a stable life, I felt that I needed to do something new in my life and to feel independent from my family, so I decided to change of residence. I came to the U.S to study English and possibly a master degree. Now I've been living in California for seven months, and I'm studying English at Cal State Fullerton. My wish is finish my English program and in the short time, to study my master. I know that studying in a foreing country with other languaje it is not easy, but I'll work hard to reach my goals.
