Hi, my name is Jailene I am currently a Senior at LHS. I am the second oldest from my mom's side and the youngest of my 6 siblings from my dad's side. I am very calm, respectful, outgoing, and most of the time shy. My family has always taught me that in order to get respect you have to give it and earn it. My family has also taught me that not everything in life is free, and you have to work for it. I come from a family that isn't that strict but a family that only wants the best for me. I am currently employed at Mcdonald's and I have been working there for about a year now. Getting a job at 16 has made me realize that it feels good to be getting your own money and not depending on your parents so much anymore. As my junior year ended there were many questions about where I want to go to school, what do I want to major in, and what I plan on doing after high school. Well now that my senior year has started I finally realized I want to go UC Santa Cruz and major in becoming a social worker. These are my 2 goals that I will accomplish and no one will stop me from achieving these goals.
