my first blog.

Hi, my name is Christina and this is my first blog ever for my sociology class. Since this is my very first post I'm going to tell you a little about myself. I go to a large high school in the Chicago suburbs. At my school I played basketball my freshman and sophomore year and now I am apart of the Peer Helpers program. In my free time I like to hang out with my family and friends. We usually go shopping, drive to the beach, or just hang out. Everyone loves to come over and see my maltese, Cubby. He was named after the Chicago Cubs because my family and I are huge Cubs fans.

You could say that my family and I are all pretty close. My biggest influence in my life is my mom. She is hard working and very good at what she does. She has taught me to work as hard as I can, never give up, and always do things for yourself. Her family is from Cuba and came to the United Sates just a couple years before she was born. Both her sisters and almost all her cousins were born in Cuba though. They had to work as hard as they could to make a living when they first got here. My uncle had to go through med. school all over again! but being a doctor is his passion and it was all worth it, but now he has his own practice by his home. It is cool to be Cuban because I don't really know a lot of other Cubans outside of my family and my family has a lot of pride.

My ultimate goal in life is to become a psychologist. It is something I have always wanted to do and I feel that I would be good at it. I plan to graduate from high school and go to a good university.

I hope that you have enjoyed my post and I will be posting again soon!! Thanks for spending some of your time reading my blog.
