My name is Brittani Velazco. I am turning the big 30 this June. In a year and a half I will be celebrating my 10th wedding anniversary with my husband. We have three beautiful children our oldest Michael is 18, our middle child Daniel is going to be 11 in May, and our youngest Aiden just turned 8 in November. I would like to let everyone know that I have some health issues as well in case something were to happen nobody is caught off guard. While I was pregnant with my second child I was diagnosed with a heart condition called Supraventricular Tachycardia. This condition causes my heart to randomly beat 170-233 beats per minute. The normal resting heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute. I also have a pretty severe vitamin deficiency that has caused me to pass out and have a seizure but those symptoms have not reoccurred in the past eight years. I currently work at Whirlpool part time while attending college here at OSU. I am majoring in Social Work until I receive my associates degree. I want to go into Nursing and obtain my RN after I receive my associates in Social Work. I'm still pretty undecided on what I really want to do as far as my career goes but I am very interested in child psychology. So maybe after Social Work and Nursing I might go into a Psychology major. A fun fact about me I would say is my goal for 2020. After I get all of my schooling done and graduate I am going to be moving my family to Lake Havasu City Arizona to be closer to my father in-law. Lake Havasu City Arizona is the most beautiful place I have ever seen in my life and it is the end destination in my American Dream where I want to settle down and raise my family.
The House On Mango Street is turning out to be a very interesting book for me to read so far. I don't find reading to be fun or interesting so much but I'm enjoying reading this book. When Esperanza had described all of her living conditions in most of the places she had lived I felt something for her. Where and how her family is living really stands out to me because its more real life unlike other books that are unrealistic and leave you unable to relate. I've had friends that has lived close to how Esperanza is living and I'm able to make a connection with the characters and situations. To me this is very important because I think that is what is keeping me interested in the book and it allows me to want to continue to read.
My dad works at Whirlpool as well, he's been there longer than I've been alive! I also have family in Lake Havasu City. I really hope to get out there and visit sometime, it looks like such a neat place.
ReplyDeleteeither do I find reading interesting but this books seems to catch my attention a lot. I also do know families who struggle to sustain themselves.
