Blog # 1 - Intro Letter

Well , my name is Chantel but i am also known as "joy" . Before comming to San Marcos I attended Martin Luther king high school in riverside California. I never really liked high school maybe it was the people or maybe it was just me but in the end it was never really my thing. Although i didnt really like high school i enjoyed doing track and field in my free time. The track program in school helped to motivate me and push me throutgh high school.
Not only track but also my biggest "cheerleaders" my family stayed by my side and made sure i got through high school and made it into college. There support means everything to me and their belief that i can suceed has inspired me a great deal. wherever my family is,thats what i call home. :-)
I feel that my best personality traits are my abilities to empathize and listen to other people. i dont talk much but sometimes a good listener is needed. Choosing a major has been very difficult for me as of right now i am a liberal studies major but i am sure it will change.I guess i feel like i could do any and everything. My biggest fears about college is that i will choose the wrong major and not be fully happy with my college experience. I decided to come to college because i know that without a higher level of education it would be hard for me to find a decent paying job.i chose csusm because i want to be able to compete in track and i like the atmosphere of the college its small and quit.
my celeberty crush is no secret its shannon brown of the los angeles lakers hes cute and he balls...enuff said :)
and if i could be anything in the world and talent or money or nothing stood in the way i would want to be a journalist for a famous magazine like rollingstone or vibe..... why?because i love to write and i love music.<3>
