My name is Jessica Trevino and I am a freshman at Trinity University. I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, particularly Alamo Heights, which is an astounding five-minute drive away from campus, ten in traffic. I live with my mother and (SECRET FACT!) five animals. I have four dogs: a Beagle-Dalmatian mix, Shitzu-Terrier mix, Chiwawa-Terrier mix, and a full bred Yorkshire Terrier. I also have a white non-lap-cat cat that hates the world. How did I acquire all these animals? I like to say that they found us rather than we found them--no one in my family can so "no" to an animal in need. This picture is of the cat and Chiwawa-Terrier mix. I also have a
brother who is a junior at Texas Tech. I am dating a boy named Josh and have been for about three and a half years (he's the one smiling like a fool in the picture to the right). I play the cello and have for about nine years. I just made it into the Trinity Orchestra and will be taking lessons here as well. As far as other campus involv
ement opportunities, I think I am going to be doing a fair amount of community service. I have already joined the group Amnnesty International and am excited about the work we are going to do this upcoming semester. I have a job at a restaurant in Alamo Heights called Twin Sister's Bakery and CafĂ©—the most non-vegetarian vegetarian restaurant you will ever find. I have worked there since I was fifteen and enjoy it for the most part. I also have a work-study job on campus at the library in the special collections department.
I feel somewhat proficient in my computer skills. All of the schools I attended from elementary to high school placed a great emphasis on computer skills. In elementary school I took typing classes and learned basic functions on the computer such as using Internet explorer and word. In junior high school I was already and expert at the Internet, delved into word a bit further, and also utilized PowerPoint and excel. High school taught me more about the programs to which I was already accustomed and also integrated html, Mac technology, Photoshop, and other various programs that I do not really remember. Up to this point, computer class was just something I was forced to go through. I chose to take this class because I want to actually absorb and retain technology skills that I can utilize throughout my college career and beyond.

Thanks for choosing our class :-)
So do your dogs and your cat fight a lot? I have a beagle and two cats. The male cat named Tip and the dog have no problems with each other, but the female cat hates both of the other animals.
ReplyDeleteHey Jessica. My family seems to have the same problem with not being able to say no to animals in need. Both my dogs came from shelters and my mom has picked up a few stray cats from around the neighborhood that just haven't ever left. They seem to get along about as well as your pets in the picture.
ReplyDeleteHey Jessica.. Your blog seems pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually a senior in high school and I'm applying to Trinity University.. great school! =]
