About Me

Haiii. Um my name is Jackeline Sagstume-Salguero but I think you can already tell. I am currently an 8th grader at Rise Kohyang Middle School. The school is a charter school located in K-Town in my home town of Los Angeles.
Well let's see about me huh... Do I have the abilities to explain what I'm thinking? Hmm...So let me put it this way then...
Many people don't know who they are and it's fine. Because you're not suppose to know who you are. You don't bring instructions like Lego toys. People are suppose to create themselves. I am still creating my self. I will always still be for the next couple of years. I've created a me that needs a few edits but that is fine. I like the smell of the earth and others may not but I don't care. They don't have to like the same things as one does. The touch of the waves in the beach sliding into my fingertips makes me as happy as when I open a spray paint can and just pour myself into a blank wall or paper. The sight of trees gives my eyes joy and the sound of laughter puts a smile in my ears. For me all of this; it's the feeling of being fully alive. Once someone told me something... "Your academic person should never be the opposite of who you truly are. There's no need to act up and thing you're imperfect. Everyone needs to change that and say I'm perfect instead" and I gotta say that's the realist thing I've heard from a teacher when I started Rise in 6th grade. It also pushed my academic values up for myself.
Academic wise, I think there is not much to say. My dream in the future is to become an automotive engineer*. Ever since I can recall, I have always told myself that I am going to become this. And hopefully I do. It will be a dream come true. However, it is not the only thing I want to pursue in life. I would also want to become a professional surfer.
*Automotive engineering is a part of vehicle engineering, also an exclusive major which consists of Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Software, and safety engineering plus Designing.
These past three years have taught me that my mother is my one & true inspiration. Every day I am thankful with God because she is honestly the best person ever. She is my only & one truly friend. She works hard every day to give me & my siblings all we need. She helped us go through all hard obstacles together as a family. She has helped us over come the fact that it is just my little brother, my sister, me, & her. Life has really changed for me because my father left. But he left for good unfortunately. My parents are divorced now but that only makes me want to succeed more in life.
