Get to know me. (:




Finally got this blog thing figured out! Now to introduce myself.

     My name is Sarah Martinez, and I am currently pursuing General Education courses at Black River Technical College.  Initially, I wanted to pursue some type of medical degree or certification.  However, recently, I decided that going after something business related might be a better choice for the time being due to current job opportunities.  As of right now, the highest degree I have obtained is my high school diploma.  

     I graduated from Pine Ridge High School in central Florida during the 2010-2011 academic year and have been enrolled as a student at BRTC since the Spring of 2012.  Although I was raised in Florida, where most of my family still resides, I have lived in Jonesboro, Arkansas for close to a year and a half.  Eventually, I do want to move back to my home state, because I miss having my younger siblings (in picture with me above) around.  They are my life.  However, going to school and only working part-time is far more financially manageable here in Arkansas than it is in Florida, where I would need to live with several roommates in order get by.        

     Currently, I am employed as a hostess at Chilis in Paragould.  I work with great people and that, to me, makes all the difference.  As far as hobbies go, I enjoy everything from traveling to new places, primarily anywhere with plenty of sunshine and sandy beaches, to lounging at home while watching my favorite television shows.  I also enjoy discovering and learning new things that interest me.  Although I am not a fan of working out at the gym, swimming and exploring nature trails are two things which I enjoy that me active.  

Hope you all have a great semester!

    1. I was originally planning on attending ASU since it is closer to where I live. But, thank goodness the woman in ASU's financial aid office mentioned Black River and how starting off there might be better off for me finacially. She was right! I am happy because the online classes are convenient for my schedule and whenever I need help on campus, everyone is very helpful.
