Hi I'm Jenny

I guess I should start off by introducing myself. My name is Jennifer Hernandez, but if you know me, you’d know that I prefer to be called Jenny. People tend to only call me Jennifer when they’re mad at me. I’ve attended Whitney M. Young High School for 5 years now and I’m super proud to be a dolphin. It’s a school filled with such different people and it’s the right place for me because I love all kinds of people. Friendships to me are super important because friends are a second family. Speaking of which, I’ve had the same best friend for 11 years now, practically my twin and I love her so much.

What else do I love? Great question! I love monkeys, donkeys, dogs, Popeyes fries, dancing, volleyball, reading, music, writing, sales, humor, and love. But what person doesn’t love to love right? I am a super positive person. I love to be happy because, well yolo. But if you went on my iPod you’d think I was this totally depressing person simply because most of my music is actually pretty depressing. But for me music is about the lyrics and I find that the saddest music has the most meaning.

ANYWAY. I LOVE TO WRITE. I could write realistic fiction pieces all day long. I also love to read but not just for the plot but also to analyze the writing style used by different authors. Writing is a passion that I plan to pursue in the future as well as becoming a high school English teacher like one of my role models. HINT HINT. May or may not be Mr. McCarthy.

We’re talking about the present though right? I feel the need to mention that I have recently become a member of the teen council at the Art Institute of Chicago as well as landing a sales position at Discovery, and my greatest accomplishment being becoming a certified catechist. Meaning that I am officially a teacher when it comes to religious studies for children.

Let’s see, I am the youngest in my family and I have a dog that I adore. Oh, I love mushroom pizza. You’d think it’d be easy to tell you about myself but my mind is blank now. Even though I probably told you more than you’d probably care to know. But yeah, this is me as of right now, but then again, who am I to know who I am yet?
