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!
So how did you hear about Black River?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
