ESSAY 

Sometimes not everything is as it appears. My name is Claudia Lizeth Valenciano Vega, I was born on July 12th 1990 and I from Aguascalientes, Mexico. My parents’ names are Rosa Maria Vega Martinez and J. Refugio Valenciano Rodriguez both are from Mexico. I have to brothers (Jose and Sergio) and one sister (Rosa Olga); Jose is 31 years old, Sergio is 28 years old both are from Unites States and Rosa Olga is 17 years old, she from Mexico. 

When I was a child; I used to practice sports in primary school like, volleyball and basketball, and I also used to go swimming like five time peer week during seven years. When I was in high school I studied informatics. About my friends I had a few and one of them was my best friend, her name is Julieta, she had to go live in Texas, because of her family, and she has not come back yet. One  birthday that I remember was when I got ten years old my father gave me a dog and it stills with me nowadays. 

Four years ago I meet a guy, who was the love of my life and at the beginning he did not like me at all but with all the things that he made for me and everything that we went through, he won my heart. I was the happiest person in the world, when we got more than three years together, we decided to have a baby, after that I got pregnant, and I gave birth a girl (Natalie) on April 8^th 2010. 

Since I remember I always used to say that I want to be a teacher, so when I finished my high school I was not sure if  I go to CRENA or UAA, and finally I decided to chose UAA because I like English and better if I can teach it. Now I already finished my social service which I did it on Patronato de la Feria and I am in the third semester in ELT (English Language Teaching) and besides studying, I am working part time in a jewelry but just four times peer week.

I like have time with my baby and go to the park. Also I like to being with my friends, dance, drink and listen to music in specific hip hop and rap. On vacations I like to go to Fresnillo, Zacatecas because my grandma lives there so part of my uncles and aunts come to see her, and we have fun a lot, something that I like too much when I am in the ranch is to ride a horse.

I see myself in some years with my school finished already and working as an English teacher of kindergarten but in the Unites States may be in Los Angeles or Chicago. I will be paying my truck and my own house so my baby will have a home and being in a family. May be I will be dating with someone but I do not think that I will be married too soon. I will be visiting my grandma’s ranch on vacations. I will try to be an example to follow for my baby.

As a conclusion I could say that I had many experiences in my life good ones and bad ones but both make me grow as a person, as a daughter, as a sister, as a mother. I think that I know appreciate everything that God has given me in life like family, friends, and love and because of that I have a baby which is my life, she means everything and without all of that I do not be nobody. I can say that if I die today I do not be sad or  I do not regret for anything because I know that I made everything that I could and enjoying every moment of my life.

I am putting everything on me to accomplish all my goals like, finish my school and still working, being a good mother among others things.
