https://padlet.com/mchavirajuarez/u36pusxk8g13 Introducing Myself en-us 2019-03-06 01:42:19 UTC 2024-05-31 13:24:33 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f497.png mchavirajuarez https://padlet.com/mchavirajuarez/u36pusxk8g13/wish/338206530 I was born in San Diego but grew up in Mexico. Once I finished high school, I moved with my parents and younger brother to San Diego.
I met my now husband working at a grocery store.
I completed my bachelor's degree in Human Services in 2011. 
I have two children: Eva was born in 2010 and Mikel in 2014.
I am currently living in Murrieta, CA, it has been almost five months of adjusting to this cool city. My family and I move once a year due to my husband's job. Since 2016 we have lived in five different counties of California. I'm crossing my fingers, so we are able stay a little longer in this beautiful city.  Below you see a picture of my family in Yosemite National Park.]]> 2019-03-06 01:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mchavirajuarez/u36pusxk8g13/wish/338206530 mchavirajuarez https://padlet.com/mchavirajuarez/u36pusxk8g13/wish/338207732 One of my cousins is deaf. Growing up I would ask her to write me notes to communicate with her because she would sign so fast I'd get lost. I am able to express what I want to communicate with signs, but I tend to get lost with her signs.  I would love to get my certification as an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter this summer. 
Almost two months ago I started to take hot yoga, committed myself to attend five times a week as a self-care present and I love it! I'm attaching a five-minute meditation video I found on YouTube. I hope you like it!

A year later, I started working as an Early Interventionist in a private company named beginnings Infant Program that worked directly with San Diego Regional Center with children who were a little delayed in one or more developmental areas and/or with children who were at risk of getting the diagnosis of ASD. After four amazing years, I had to say good bye (we relocated due to my husband's employment).
I am currently "taking a break" from work but I am a still working as a mom, being involved in my son's educational plan, working together with his kindergarten teacher and speech therapist to help him achieve his developmental goals.]]> 2019-03-06 02:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mchavirajuarez/u36pusxk8g13/wish/338209584 mchavirajuarez https://padlet.com/mchavirajuarez/u36pusxk8g13/wish/338212396 Short-term goal: I would like to get certified as American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter.
