If yes, please describe what prevented your family members from attending college. If no, please include who
in your family has attended college; which institution they attend; and any struggles or successes they had.
My brother is currently attending CSUN. Some struggles he has informed me about is his time management as
he has trouble scheduling his classes to fit his other tasks. One success for him is being able to adapt easily to
different learning environments which makes it less complicated to understand his professor’s lessons.

What are your two strongest attributes? What makes them strengths?
Attribute #1: Motivation

same. Understanding assignments the first time it is explained also motivates me because I am confident that I
will get a good grade on the assignment.

Attribute #2:Imagination/creativity
Please explain:This is a strong attribute of mine because I like to show my own artistic abilities when it comes
to projects or other assignments allow me to. When I am in a situation, instead of giving up I look for other
ideas and opportunities to fix it and make it my own.

What is an area you need to improve in? What will you do to improve in this area?
Area:Reading ability
Please explain: I must work on my reading ability because I find it difficult to understand what I am reading. To
help improve my reading skills I will read more often and write short summaries on the book or story I am
reading.

XI. Next Steps

Answer the following in the space provided:
​Who inspires you? What attributes do they have they inspire you? What can you do to inspire others?
The people who inspire me the most are my parents. My mother inspires me because she came from a
small city in Mexico to the U.S. to have a better education and now has a stable job to manage our
family of 5 alongside my father who has epilepsy but still works 5 days a week. This has shown me that
no matter what background I am from, I can make it into whichever industry I desire if I work hard
enough for it.
I can inspire others by showing them all the opportunities that may be available for their career goals.

What clubs or activities can you join to gain experience in your intended career field?
I have applied for a volunteer program called the Theatricum Botanicm, which is a program that can
give me hands on experience with stage managing. Being a part of my schools theatre program can
also give me further experience.
