Introducing...

 Hi! My name is Nathaly Gisel Cabrera-Hernández but that’s a mouthful, so it’s just Nathaly or Nat. I am a 16 year-old Salvadorian-Mexican hispanic female. I was born here the great United States however, my first language was spanish and grown in a hispanic household. I know Spanish, english and I am in the process of learning French. My goal in life has always been to go to collage, I’ve loved school since I was a kid and have always been interested in studying law. Most recently, it has been a difficult time for me in school, balancing everything, but I haven’t given up. My dream as a kid, and even before getting into high school has been to work as a forensic scientist or a crime scene investigator. However, for several reasons, my path of pursuit has changed and I’ve decided to achieve what could have been my mothers career, as a lawyer. As a kid I disliked lawyers, I could never see myself working on a case while sitting at a desk, to me, working outside in the field was my motivation. Although the lawyer career doesn’t seem that bad now, it is still painfully stressful. Other than that my life really calm, which I can appreciate. I can rely on my best friend Johanna, who cares about me like no other, she has always been with me since 6th grade and she is the kindest and most comprehending friend. I also rely on my friend Sofia, I recently met her but in this little time, I've grown very fond of her. I am so thankful for both of them. I have always enjoyed art, drawing and painting, I even wanted to pursue it as a career. Since a young age I’ve always drawn. My favorite color would probably be a lavender or lilac, I never got to do my quince. Luckily, my best friend being the best, organized a little small get together for my birthday. Of course it was nothing like her quince party, but it was something. Her and her family held a small reunion in their home and took us to the beach to go take pictures. It was one of my happiest days. It's the little things in life that make a huge difference. I don’t have much, but I have motivation from my mother who was the first collage and high school graduate in our family. She went to the National University and that fills me with so much pride. My life may not be much, but it’s mine and I don’t regret a single second of it or anyone and I don't plan on that changing.
