For my Family Relations class we have to keep a blog and I want to integrate it with this, my personal blog. I already really love this class and am so excited to start learning on my favorite topic- THE FAMILY! I will be making daily posts on here about what I've been learning and discussing in class and any insights I've had as well as my daily stuff- my everyday thoughts, realizations, etc. For my fellow classmates feel free to look around my blog-- I have over a year's worth of blog posts! I'm really looking forward to getting to know all of you through reading what you post on your own blogs. I enjoy writing and love it! On this blog I've poured my heart and soul and I've written my experiences in the hopes that people read and learn from those experiences they've read. I am so excited about this blog and especially about this class, oh my goodness! I want and hope that this class helps me learn skills to help me raise a family someday. Raise my family in a manner I wasn't fortunate enough to be raised in-- especially in a home that is centered around the Gospel.

I'm Jessica, but I go by Jess. I'm from Bedford Hills, New York (doesn't it sound so fancy?). Also, I'm not originally from here. I'm 100% Ecuadorian. I was born in Cuenca, Ecuador and moved here to the states when I was 6. My parents wanted a better life for me and my brother and decided to move here. Thanks to them I am able to study here and be the first member of my family to be attending college! This is my 4th semester here and I seriously love it here as each year passes. I'm a child development major with a minor in family and marriage studies. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do with my degree yet, but whatever life throws at me after I graduate, I'll take it. I'm the oldest in my family. I have a younger brother, Adrian. He's 18 and is currently on a mission in Carlsbad, California. My younger sister Stephanie is 11 and in the 6th grade. I also have an adorable cat and dog-- Michela and Josie; I treat them as my children and they seriously bring me so much happiness into my life! In my free time I love working out, listening to music, cooking, and blogging.
