Well lets see. I grew up in a small town called Esparto. I spent my childhood playing sports, raising pigs for 4-H, helping on the ranch, and helping my dad in the fields and farmers' markets. When I reached high school, nothing really changed. I continued to spend time doing everything from raising pigs to working at farmers' markets. My mom was a teacher for 32 years, while my dad was farming. My older brother graduated from UC Davis, and is pursuing his career with fire fighitng, paramedics, and EMT. I am graduating from San Jose State University in December 2013, and plan on getting my masters in Counseling Psychology and my teaching credential.
