My name is Daisy Alcantar, I have one older sister and of course my mother and my father. Growing up with a dysfunctional family was not in my plans; however because of them i grew up to be the person I am today, and for that I am thankful. I like to think of myself as a person who never gives up, and tries hard to make my visions a reality. I can say that I am different than most teenagers since I love to listen to classical music and jazz rather than hip hop or rock. In my spare time I enjoy knitting whether it be a scarf a hat or even a bear, I also enjoy sewing in my spare time. I am more of a craft and hands on person I enjoy building new things as well as learning new ones. The one thing that I love most above everything is running, When I run all my stress is gone because i'm concentrated on my pace or watching out for holes so i don't trip and everything other than that is not of my importance at that moment. I am a very joyful person I constantly smile to everyone, because you never know when someone needs a friendly gesture. Ever since I was young I enjoyed to be outside and playing with my dogs running around the yard, helping my father care for our goats and feeding the chickens. It is because of this that I developed a passion for animals. My main life goal is to be accepted into Pacific Union College and major in Chemistry and work on my pre-veterinary admissions and finally get accepted into UC Davis veterinary school. After this I plan to either go into artificial insemination for both bovine and ovine or study how the brain processes information in animals.
