My name is Itzel Gonzalez. I am a senior majoring in criminal justice. I minor in psychology and sociology. My favorite snack to eat while I study is popcorn or green grapes. I have two brother and one sister. I am also the oldest sibling in my family. My mom and stepdad take care of my siblings. I have been married for 2 years with husband we dated in high school since we were 15. I live with husband now and he’s planning to go the army soon.
I like to workout at home, color, read, paint, and listen to music. I am 21 years old and played sports basketball, softball, volleyball, and cross country. My biggest fear is losing someone I love. I grew up in Southwest Detroit Michigan and that is where I still live today. What inspires me to work hard is myself. I like the feeling of accomplishment which motivates me to never give up. I dream to publish a book and paint a mural one day. My little sister who is 10 years old has YouTube channel I can’t believe she has over 800 subscribers already.
Going into college I aspired to be and FBI Agent with my bachelor’s in criminal justice. I feel like I want to go through with this, but I also want to have a family when I have my own house. Now that I minor in Psychology and sociology I’m looking into other careers. I might go into being a therapist or even join a community growth group. I graduated during the outbreak of COVID 19 and had to do it over zoom. So, I am excited to have an in-person graduation when I receive my diploma. I can’t wait to have my moment that I feel like I never had because most of my family didn’t get the chance to see me graduate. Growing up I felt very neglected by my family and spent a lot of time alone which made me lonely and willing to find friends in the neighborhood. I would love going to school because of this and ended up being fond of it because of my friends that I could talk too. I was very out-going which made people call me annoying a lot. I used to sing in front of everybody, but I ended up growing out of that. I am introverted now and extroverted when I’m comfortable. I fake my confidence until it becomes real. I am working on personal growth as an adult.
