Hi! My name is Fatima Maldonado. My major is in health science with a general concentration. My ultimate goal is to become an optometrist. I want to pursue this career because I believe that eyesight is one of the most important senses to have, and it makes me extremely happy when a patient is able to see to their full potential.

When I hear the words writing I start to panic and hyperventilate. It might sound dramatic, but the first thought that comes to mind when someone tells me I need to write is why do I have to suffer? I am not the best writer and I always struggle with this subject. It has always been my weakest area of study, since I can remember.

I am more of a visual learner because I learn best when I am able to see the information. I need to be able to see the information in order to understand the new material because by just hearing it is more difficult for me to comprehend what I am learning. This is why I take a lot of notes in order to remember the new information and so that I could rewrite it for repetition.

I have worked in many different places since I was seventeen years old. My first job was at an ice cream shop called Polish Water Ice. That same year I also got a job at a breakfast place called Maria's Luncheonette and I worked there for three years. I started off as busser/hostess, but then moved my way up to become a server. During the summer of 2019, I worked as a summer camp teacher for the Boys and Girls Club. I had a lot of fun in this job because I like kids.

After being done working at a restaurant I got a job as an optometric technician at America's Best Contacts and Eyeglasses. This was the job that made me realize that I wanted to become an optometrist. Now I am working at BJ's Optical, but still as an optometric technician.

I love to volunteer especially if it has to do with kids. I recently started to volunteer at Buzby Village and I love to help the kids with their homework or on the subjects that they are lacking in.

One of my favorite things to do is dancing. I am fond of this activity because it is extremely fun. Not only that, but it makes me feel lighthearted. Listening to music is very therapeutic to me because whenever I feel glum it always cheers me up.

I enjoy to hike because this is something that helps me to relax. It makes me feel free and I like how I am surrounded by nature. Not only that, but I am delighted when I finish my hikes.
