About me

Hello you guys, I decided for my first blog post, I would write a little bit about myself. My name is Gabriela Alvarez but you guys can call me Gabby. I am a senior at the UofA, majoring in General Studies. I plan on graduating this winter and being the first first in my family to do so. I come from a Mexican family and a big one too. We love staying in touch with each other and are always getting together for any reason. Either it be someones birthday, anniversary, or a celebration of some sort, we always get together. From my whole family, I am the first one to even go to a University. I have cousins who have gone to community college but none have gone to a University or gotten their bachelors degree.

My biggest goal in life is to go to medical school and become a doctor. Since I speak and write fluently in Spanish, my options regarding medical school have widen. I am either attending medical school here or in Mexico. Most of my family is there, and it would be nice to see them and spend some time with them, especially my grandparents. Another reason why I am considering Mexico is that one of my dreams is to built a free clinic in Mexico and help those who are in real need. But who knows, in half a year I might have different thoughts.
