I don’t really have an embarrassing nickname….my step brother & sisters call me "Reese’s" and to this day I’m not really sure why.



- I wouldn’t say any of my hobbies are "special". But, I love to listen to music, traveling, cooking, watching movies, playing sports, swimming and I always enjoy reading a good book.



-Currently I’m enrolled at Ashford online University. I’m two classes away from earning my CCAF (associates degree)



-I guess I would have to say joining the Air Force.



-Well, my parents divorced when I was three & I was raised by my mother; She is Caucasian & my father is Mexican. My family is awesome. My father remarried & I have 2 step sisters & 1 step brother. Between the three of them, I have 5 nephews & 2 nieces. Mexican food is my favorite so I love being around that side of the family because I get to eat homemade Mexican food and when I’m home for Christmas we all make a bunch of tamales. My mom’s side of the family is smaller but just as awesome. We all have our share of drama, but what family doesn’t?



-Hands down, my mother. She raised me and my older sister by herself. Never once did I hear her complain. She almost lost the house we lived in a few times but I didn’t know that until only a few years ago. She taught me to never give up and to never let anyone tell you that they’re better than you. All the strength and confidence I have comes from her. Saying that she is my heart does not do justice.



-As children, we’re constantly changing our minds. But for the longest time, I wanted to be a veterinarian because I love animals. I was the kid who was always finding strays or hurt animals and bringing them home with me hoping to make them better. I once brought home 3 ducklings that were wondering around our neighborhood and a pigeon with a bad wing.



-I’ve been legally separated for a while, but my divorce will be finally be finalized on 12 October 2010. I’ve been married since October 2005 and I’ve tried to make it work but I was the only one willing to change and put forth 100% effort. Marriage is a partnership and it has to be 50/50 in order for it to work. I’m looking forward to being able to move on with my life and finally be free.


9. What are your thoughts regarding men right now?

-Ahhhh, men. They say you can’t live with them & you can’t live without them. I don’t have much faith in guys & ever since I was 17, I’ve always had a wall up. I never intentionally go out looking for a guy or boyfriend, but the "bad apples" always seem to find me. You know, the ones that lie and say they’re not married, the ones that have a girlfriend at home, the man whores, the habitual liars etc. I just can’t seem to shake that type of guy. Having a man in my life isn’t a priority, I’ve never been the girl that HAS to have a man & I never will be. I’m happy on my own.



-First and for most, there needs to be respect. If both people have respect for one another that will rule out other issues. I think two other important factors are honesty and monogamy. I cannot stand liars. The only thing worse than being lied to is knowing you weren’t worth the truth. I don’t believe in second chances when it comes to being in a relationship. If you cheat, why would I give you a second chance? If you valued me or the relationship, cheating would have never happened in the first place. And I despise when people use alcohol as an excuse...that’s all it is: an excuse.



-I’ve been in the Air Force for just over five years. My mother was the one that actually suggested the military. I didn’t want to go to college because I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life & I didn’t want to work at a minimum paying job. At first I was going to join the Army but at the last minute I backed out. Then my mother mentioned the Air Force. The day we went and spoke to a recruiter was the day I signed up. I have never regretted my decision.



-The only goals I have right now are getting my bachelor’s degree (and one day obtaining my Master’s) and to make rank in the military. I want to excel at my job and just be the best person I can be. I’m currently stationed in South Korea & I work with a lot of knowledgeable Master Sergeants; they give me something to strive towards. After Korea I’ll be going to Guam, I’m excited to be on an island for at least two years and I plan on doing some traveling!
