I'll give you the opportunity to know me and define me, but I must warn that it is no easy task.

Although I am not your average and ordinary gal, once you meet me you'll realize that I am just like every other person you've ever met. I have dreams, goals, and plans for the future. I wish to succeed and do great things for my community. Sometimes, I think that it was wrong of my parents, well my mom, to create in me this ability to dream big because it has led me to great disappointments. I've learned that there are greater and bigger forces that do not want a girl like me to be anything more than the preconceived stereotype. But I will continue my struggle until I no longer have the energy/resources to do so.
I can be a very generous and loving individual, but because I was taught to behave in a certain way, I am now an introvert. Although I try hard for it to not seem like I am merely antisocial, it hardly ever works. I'm a shy girl with the mind of a liberal, the customs of a traditional Mexican woman, the desire of a progressive, and the soul of a rebel.
I love life more than I can explain. I love its moments of bliss, and I also love those moment when I feel like giving up...even if at the moment I feel like crying... at the end it all makes sense.
I am worried about our decaying life styles, and the environmental and social damage we are creating. Yet, I find it hard to part ways with my daily habits.
I love diversity of any kind, and I believe that people are entitled to live their lives according to their beliefs and desires. No one should force any one to do something they do not wish to do. I hope for the day when we are no longer enslaved by the great corporations and institutions that invisibly control our lives.
I am currently confused about where I stand on many issues because as I learn more I realize that there are so many contradictions with my beliefs. I really have to work on sorting them out.
I am aware of the importance of money, and I wish it weren't as important as it is now.
I like reading about random historical things or people. I really do like biographies.
Finally, I hate rereading what I just wrote, so if there are any mistakes.. forgive me.. it's the result of years of never proof reading... something I should start doing.
