All About Me

          My name is Jacquelyn Quezada. I also go by Jackie. I was born January 16th, 1992 in San Diego, California. I have lived in Chula Vista all of my life and love it very much. My parents are divorced and I am the youngest of four children. I went to St. Rose of Lima, a Catholic elementary and middle school. I only attended St. Rose until 6th grade and eventually left to Eastlake Middle School. I later attended Eastlake High School and played volleyball as a freshman. I have always loved the sport but when I tried out my sophomore year, I did not make the team. I stopped trying out after that. I always had a lot of school spirit and was a part of the pep club. I was an average student when it came to academics but I always tried my best. My senior year of high school, I joined a hip hop dance team called Intrace. I think being a part of the dance team was probably the highlight of my senior year. Even though I consider myself a shy person, I loved performing in front of people.
          When I began Southwestern Community College I was unsure on what my major was going to be or what I was even interested in. I told myself I was probably going to major in Child Development until I became a nanny for a 3 year old and a 6 year old. I quickly changed my mind. I guess I am not too much of a kid person. As a part of my general education, I had to take a Communications class. I took an Oral Communication class in the Fall of 2010. I was dreading going to that class because like I said earlier, I am a shy person and I felt that I was going to struggle with my speeches. I ended up loving the class. To my surprise, I enjoyed doing speeches. Thats when I realized I was going to become a Communications major. When I started looking into the different types of Communication majors, I figured out that I wanted to learn more about Public Relations. In order to fulfill my goal in becoming a Public Relations major, I need to take Journalism 151. So far I am enjoying the class and I am excited to see how the rest of the semester is going to turn out.
