Hi, everyone! My name is Stacy Sanchez. I am 18 years old but with the height of a 12 year old and sadly, I'm stuck with this height for the rest of my life. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. I have 2 sisters who are 21 and 3 years old. I know, huge age difference with the little one. I graduated from Sam Houston High School where almost everyone had it easy, and by easy I mean the grades were pretty much handed to us at times. Sometimes the teachers were too lazy to do their job and thought it'd be easier to just give us a random grade and let us "chill" throughout the whole class. It sounds cool, but it really wasn't. I wish they were a lot harder on us because that school does not prepare students for college at all. I'm studying to become a teacher. I had been between becoming a high school or an elementary teacher, then I remembered history is my favorite subject and the main reason I decided to become a teacher, to teach US History to Juniors and/or Seniors.. So high school it is. Plus, after living with a 3 year old, I really don't want to work with little kids. I'm planning to transfer to a University. I'm currently torn between Texas A&M and University of Houston because UH has been my dream college since I was a little girl, but moving out here made me think to myself "did I really just leave Houston to attend a community college when I can just do that back at home?" Oh well. It's all in God's hands, he's got his plans for me.

I used to be a dancer. Hip-Hop was my favorite type of music to dance, but it wasn't the only thing I danced. I love to dance all kinds of music. I never joined the school dance team but I did go to a studio near my house and took a couple classes at a class at a studio on the other side of the city. By the way, Houston is a huge city and traffic is horrible, so it took me about and hour and a half to get to that second studio. But the drive was worth it, because dancing helped me relieve any kind of stress I was having.  Dancing was my favorite thing to do since I was a little girl. Unfortunately I stopped due to personal issues. Sports are definitely not my kind of thing. I am the kind of girl who will scream if i saw a ball coming towards me.

Being away from my family is not easy. Here and then i get very homesick but then I remember why I moved here. I moved here to get a chance to see what it’s like to be on my own since sadly, i have to grow up and my parents aren’t going to be around for ever telling me what to do. To get my degree and make my family proud. I know these next couple of years are not going to be easy but they will be worth it.
