My name is Lizbeth Tinajero. I am 17 years old and a junior at Salinas High School, CA. I am involved in many school clubs and extracurricular activities along with a rigorous schedule of classes. I really like to keep myself busy! When I put my mind to a goal I made for myself, I try to accomplish it, and I make sure not to forget about it and let it slip away. If I dont succeed i congratulate myself for trying hard and pursuing it until the end. If I do fufill it, I dont take it for granted, and I enjoy it 100% of the time.
I consider myself to be a very open-minded person! That is, I love to explore the world around me. I love learning about new cultures and am eager to taste new foods. When I heard about AFS, I was ecstatic! A chance for me to do just what I always wanted to do, a chance to learn from a new experience. That is why I am so eager to study abroad! Eversince I was little I wanted to travel the world. The destinations I would love to go to with the AFS program are either Denmark, Thailand, or Japan depending on who accepts me. I honestly could not make up my mind! With all the choices AFS offers, I started thinking about what cultures I was most interested, and that is how i came to choose Denmark, Thailand, and Japan.
Currently for fundraising, my mom and I are making a traditional Mexican dish, tamales, and selling them to school teachers, friends, and/or whoever we can find! I am also putting up car washes and trying to send out sponsoring letters! This is something that I really and truly want and will try to attain. I am not going to let money stop me from fufilling what I want to accomplish. I will persevere because all this hard work will pay off in the end.
