Hello, my name is Natalie Gonzalez, and currently 17 years old. I want to become the first generation high school graduate for my family. My siblings all had the opportunity to go to graduate but sadly they all decided to drop out and go straight into working. They all struggled and then went back to school later in the years which ultimately they regret not ever graduating. It makes me want to attend college to achieve a master's or bachelor's in criminal justice or criminology to become a detective. I want to be successful and live my dream of going to college.
