Profile of Andrea:

Andrea was born on September 21^st, 1995, in a village or small town called “Puebla” in Mexico. She grew up in a medium sized beautiful family. Her life has been a mixture of happiness and sorrows. She moved to America when she was seven years old without knowing she was moving to America for good. However, she managed to get her education started with NYS practice test; which determined she was a good student in math and kept on her journey of learning English. Since childhood, she liked math. She gives the credit for that to her math teacher who helped her learn easily and properly and also one of her friends who solved math problems in a way which seemed easy to her. Her high school had a very good environment. Her class was small and had 66 graduates in 2013. So everyone knew each other quite well; even the teachers. Her hobbies are mostly sports oriented and she likes dancing. She hasn’t learned to stop trying in the middle of something. That shows that she is intended to work hard and be successful. That is her goal in life and leads her to have a desire of being a civil engineer. That is why she is planning to work her butt off in college to graduate and along the way; she also wants to improve her writing. She is more logical than creative. She is also very devoted to family since she likes spending time with her little brothers such as go biking and running with them. Her taste in literature is also very notable. One of the good morals for her is, “Give thanks for everyday that you get, and live as long as you live. Beautify your life and perfect it.” and she also has a favorite poem which is called “Live your life”.

Her turning point in life is overcoming the difficulties which arose from family matters. But the one thing about herself which is a mystery to others is about her dog. When she was in Mexico, she had a cute dog. He was not that furry. But his skin color was really dark. Andrea and her brothers used to get on top of him and play with him, and he used to get mad. When she moved to America with her family, the house of hers in Mexico was left with her grandma; who eventually became the person to take care of the house and the dog. Her grandma used to go out and do her work. Every time she came back, the dog would get excited and start to jump; expecting to see Andrea and her family members. But they were not there anymore. It surrounded him with sorrows. He could feel it that they were gone. One day when Andrea’s grandma went out, on the way, she left some food for the dog. She came back from work and checked on the dog and found him still on the same place lying down quietly with eyes closed and body resting. She thought he was sleeping and would eat his food when he wakes up. But, the next day, she went to check up on him again and found the food still remaining there and the dog on the same position. But there was also a bad smell which finally made her realize that the dog is dead. Hearing this news, Andrea was really heartbroken. This silent and painful death of the dog of hers only shows how bonded he was with Andrea and her family. Since that incident, Andrea has not gotten another dog. It is not because she does not like pet dogs anymore. But it is because she feels that she is not going to be that responsible anymore to take very good care of the dog. She also is not ready to replace her old dog yet. It also shows how bonded she was with her dog as well. She loved him so; and the fear of losing him and the sadness after his death created mixed feelings about getting another dog into her. That is one reason why she does not want a pet dog right now. That is the mysterious thing about Andrea.

Coming from the basic and mysterious information about Andrea, I can predict that she is expecting to have a successful career and marriage. She is the type of girl who is the favorite of her family members, friends, and teachers. It is because of her dedication to family, truthfulness and behavior with friends, and good intention on working hard to be successful. Such a girl’s psychology is very fun and interesting to study.
