I was born in Mexico city and I moved to San Diego 10 years ago.

People always make fun of my name or ask me twice what it is because my name's pronunciation is same as the word "medium" so I always answer: "yes... medium, like the size"

Whenever I don't like some kind of food I put mayo on it. Actually, I put mayo oneverything. My favorite lazy food is sabritas AKA Lays chips tacos with mayo. Yeah....I know... it sounds nasty.

I love to watch Criminal Minds, CIS, FBI, 48 Hours, Forensic Files, and HIMYM. Also, I enjoy cartoons and love Frozen movie. I don't like horror movies. Pretty sure you won't enjoy watching them with me pinching, scratching, covering my eyes and sometimes scream my lungs out.

Love nature mostly forest, rivers, beaches, lakes, and mountains. I'm an outdoor person. I don't like to be caged....

Travel to marvelous places, preferably surrounded by calm water & with someone who enjoys nature as much as I do.

Find someone "the one"

Find my call (the meaning or purpose of my life)

Get my associate degree from SWC & transfer to SDSU & graduate

Buy a house and give it away to my parents

Study a minor in human behavior

Two moments in school that made me laugh or cry:

A moment that broke my heart in pieces was when my college professor stood in front of the class to give us two news: a good one and a bad one. Which one you wanna hear first he said... "The good one" some classmates re plied. "Okay" he said the good news is that you guys are not going to have a final test a "yay" sound came from the crowd. Now the bad one .... I have cancer he said; just the ticking of a clock was an auditable complete silence, sad faces, & watery eyes. When the class finished my classmates went one by one up to him hugging and comforting him. I couldn't....... I didn't have the braveness to hug him, to let him know who much I admired him, how much I enjoyed his class and how much I learned from him. I will always have in mind his quote "language is culture"- Dr. Escalera

Moments that make me laugh.... always is whenever I heard professors saying bad words. I so enjoy it!

One thing that I wish people knew about me:

One thing you should know about me is that I like taking care of the people I love.

One Superpower I wish to have in the Classroom?

Enhanced Memory (remembering all the information you learned instantly) would be a superpower I would definitely wish to have.

It would be a useful tool because I would have the ability to absorb information quickly and would remember what I have learned in that day's lesson in class and as well in future lessons. With the ability I would have, I would do well in class assignments, tests and quizzes because I would have the knowledge & remembering the information.

How is being a student similar to being a soccer player... soccer has been in my life probably the same amount of years as i been a student. In my pass years both education and soccer have giving me lessons in life; sometimes the most incredible/ amazing moments. Other times the hardest lessons you can get in life.

* When you first step on the field you get nervous, you don't know what to expect; are your teammates going to be cool? What about the coach, is he going to make us run a lot? Being a student is similar in that in your first day of class you don't know what to expect. Are you classmates going to be chill with you? What about the teacher (everyone ask themselves this question) no one wants a boring teacher.

* Working as a team. Playing soccer is a team sport, even if your one of the best players in the world you need your teammates to be able and shine. Working together always makes a victory or a accomplishment exactly that. When working as a team you not only have the benefit to see new techniques, but also the chance to learn them. As a student the opportunity of working and sharing ideas with people makes your learning opportunity fun and easy. Being able to see and practice techniques that are new to you, could make your work easier.

* When you practice hard, have dedication, have love for the sport, you will always be rewarded. You could be watch by a semi pro team, by a university, or just by someone that could later give you the chance to become a pro. Similarly, students that work hard, study for hours, that love what they are doing have the chance to get in a U.C, get a scholarship, get the position you desire in life. If you work hard, the rewards will come by them self's. In other words, if you love what you do, don't be afraid to fight for what you want.

The secret I never told anyone about this interview is not that I got the job but that both the interviewers were very impressed with me in my interview and let me know right there and then. I answered the questions so perfectly that I got 50 points out of 50 points.

My First Name: *SHAMYRAN*

*Literally said like :Shammy-Ran; except being said when people roll the "R" sounds more normal. No one can really say how something is really said once it is spelled. Like our English language has too many rules and silent letters.
On the other hand when my dad says it or Middle Eastern people who know Arabic, or other languages from that part of the country, it is a total different way of being said. And in that case I am not sure how to explain it other than more aggressive haha. Like the typical stereotype, when us Chaldeans have a conversation with one another, it sounds like an argument, yet it isn't anything near that.

My name was chosen by my mother because when my dad was telling her stories about Home (Iraq) and places over there, He had mentioned a Great well known Queen they had back then And her name was Shamyran. Spelled differently :Semiramis.

Here is a few links with some background of who she was:
http://www.ldolphin.org/semir.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-NTjHEJ_RA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9IkQtulHOg

When I introduce myself, some people who know her assume I am Assyrian, but I am Chaldean.
Some tell me she was a Great Queen, which makes me think I will do something great to help people. Not a queen or the president of course, but now this makes me think my name goes with me because I love helping others. That is a big weakness I have, I always put people before me, even if they don't deserve my help. I grew up always trying to volunteer for whatever reason, any event that needed volunteers I'm there. It always caught my attention. And now with my family finally out of the middle east recently, makes my perspective in life change. I NEVER want to see anyone suffer. Like the homeless or foster youth I try and give my services or give food, find ways to make peoples days. I don't see why there ever are people suffering, and as I grow older and learn these issues we have from around our community, to all around the world makes me so sad. I always contribute as much as possible!

As being named after a great leader I see myself following into her footsteps, even if in some cases I didn't have the title or I am not trying to be a queen, hey maybe I will be someone in the higher grounds with authority to help change the globe in some way. Since elementary school I attended the boys and girls club and was a youth leader there and in middle school elected captain for my teams I was on along side with high school. But also in high school I was in ASB and I was in charge of events and assemblies. This was definitely one of the hardest yet the most fun experience I had! I loved it, because I felt as if I ran the school, grabbed ideas from different groups of friends and gave the students what they wanted. As I entered college it became more intense being in a collegiate sports team. Always continued to lead and joined ASO. So the aspect of being a leader in any way shape or form will always follow me, and I will continue to strive to be the best I can be.
I really do love my name now that I become older because I feel like I am way different then groups, I don't belong to any type of group of people or friends because I have so many. Its weird sometimes to think I wonder how it would be if I brought my nerdy awkwardly social friends with my party friends. Like, the group doesn't link well too much but I'm just like a social butterfly and can talk to all types of people. My name is just like me, Its UNIQUE!

"Filipino Foods" is a music video parody by Don Angelo that was uploaded on YouTube on October 4, 2010. The clip played a song that had the same rhythm and tone as singer Katy Perry's song, "California Gurls," but except of singing about life in California beaches, it sang about all the foods of the Philippines.

One thing I feel is always on everyone's mind is "am I good enough?" or "Why can't I look like that person or be that person?" I watched Meaghan Ramsey's TED talk "Why thinking you're ugly is bad for you". Ramsey begins by talking about how her one-year-old niece loves to look at herself in the mirror and kiss herself.

My Home is wherever I am Happy

I am lucky enough to have lived in three countries.

I spent a lot of my childhood in Tijuana, Mexico.

I spent most of my adolescence in San Diego, California.

I've spent most of my twenty's traveling and this year I spent the first half of the year living in Paris, France. When I am some where new I sometimes miss the similar sights I am used to. The feeling fades. I am happy because I am where I want to be.

I haven't been back to school since I graduated from high school in 2006. It's been about seven years. I didn't continue school because I didn't know what I wanted to do career wise and I had to pay for college on my own. I felt working had to come first until I knew what I wanted to do, then maybe I'll think about it. I just had no money to spare! I was just not interested and my now fiancé pushed me to go back. He pushed me to go back to school because he knew how smart I was before I believed in it myself. He told me that I can do it and knew that I just needed the support. He let me know that he would always be there to help me and explained that he once had to take the same classes that I have to take now.

Well I'm back and love it. I feel like an overweight person that has lost all that extra weight they weren't supposed to have. I have more confidence in myself, I'm proud of my hard work and how much it's paid off within myself, and even though I have met my goal I want to continue to do better. I always thought I wasn't smart.... dumb actually, but I realized that I do know what I'm doing. Once a teacher is accepting that I really like to understand how to do a problem and willing to show me in steps and also able to explain why it's done that way then that's when I am truly able to get it down with little to no problem. I feel that is at least one difference in high school teaching and college teaching, well let's say two. One, I mentally wanted and was ready to learn. Two, I feel the college teachers were there for me and it wasn't just a job.

I'm now proudly in my 4 th semester of college and even though I have a ways to go before I catch up to other individuals that have gone to college right out of high school, I am happy to say that I enjoy every day I leave school knowing this is what I want to do for myself and no one else. This is why I feel that me going back to school after seven years is my biggest accomplishment as a student.
