Jackie’s personal essay

Many people tend to say that they know someone just because they spend time

with that person, interact or even share several things but, who really knows a person?, No one

does; only oneself. So, the purpose of this essay is to share a little bit of myself, in order to know

me better, because I am the only person who can explain something about my origin, my life,

what I like, what I do not, which are my goals, and so on.

First of all, it is necessary to introduce myself; my name is Jacqueline Dessire Rico, I was born in

Mexico City; all my family was born there. When I was three months old, we moved to

Aguascalientes; where I have been living up to now. I am the youngest of three sisters. I have a

varied personality; I could consider myself as an easygoing person, friendly, hardworking,

sympathetic and loyal. On the other hand, I also have bad temper sometimes; I am anxious,

stubborn, and spoiled. In addition, I like to hang out with my friends, laugh about everything,

have a great time, watch movies, listen to music, surf the net, meet new friends, swim, dance

and talk. I do not like hot weather, onions, stay home for long periods of time and when I do not

have anything to do.

Secondly, it is important to mention that there have been some experiences that changed my life

incredibly. Most of them took place when I was in high school in the afternoon; I was involved in

a different environment, new friends, renovated personality and situations. I also discovered the

topic of love, I met my first formal boyfriend and unfortunately I knew about disillusion.

However, not everything was sad; I met my best friends and had the best moments in my life

ever. I partied a lot; I laughed until I could not breathe, and lived as if it were the last day of my

life.

Thirdly, it is curious that most people arrange or plan their lives in order to have a well-

organized idea of what they want to be or achieve; so, if I wanted to be one of the crowd I would

not plan my life with short and long term goals. Some of my goals talking about five years from

now are: to be working at a high school as the head of the English department and giving tutorial

to teenagers. In addition, I see myself traveling to the United States of America with the

purpose of doing my Master’s Degree; However, I do not pretend to stay in the same place for a

long time. My long term goal is to finish studying, obtain what I want professionally, the

information mentioned before, and get more into my personal life, have my own family and if it

is possible to have children.

As a conclusion, I can mention that all this information can vary depending on the situation, so;

nothing is clear or decided yet. Consequently, the only way that someone could say they have

known me is because they have talked to me and found out about myself, my experiences, my

goals and all those little things that make me what I am today.
