Hello, my name is Perla Calderon. I am fun, outgoing, and smart. I am the only girl out of three boys. I was born in Mexico and live in Riverside. I am 25 years old. I am also married, but I do not have any kids yet. Right now I am working as a preschool teacher, but I am still going to school to earn my bachelors degree in human developmeent or in psychology. Everyday im at work my students teach me something new. I learned from them and they learn from me. I love to dance and to go out with friends and family. I love my brothers, parents and husband and would do anything for them. I have the most loving, sweet, funny, respectful, supportive husband. He pushes me to never give up and he always wants the best for me. He also spoils me and wants to see me happy. I know that in the future we will have a wonderful home and family. Right now we are working in getting our careers, so in the future we can buy our first home and start a family. One of our biggest dream is to travel and to have our big church wedding. In addition, I only have one pet which I love and treat like my child. Her name is Roxy.
In my spare time, I like dance, go to Zumba, and watch my favorite TV shows. I enjoy movies and the movies I like are the ones that have drama, comedy and action. The recent movies I went to see were Frozen. I went to see Frozen because my students talk about this movie on a regular basis. I wanted to find out what they were saying and be updated with their conversations, so I went to see it and I loved it. Now I share with my students and I feel like I can relate to them. Other movie I went to see was Lone Survivor. It was a great movie made me cry and feel for those who join and fight for the United States.
Also I have a funny story to share, when I started my education at RCC I was started taking classes to earn a degree in psychology. As time went on and I needed to take other classes, so I can transfer I realized that I was interested in working with children. I was always the one that said, "No I never want to work with kids," but look at me know. I like what I do and want to grow in my career. Maybe one day I can combine my degrees. I learned my lesson and I learned to never say "Never."
In addition to talking about myself, you might be also interested in why I am making this blog. I have recently started my spring semester at RCC and my environmental science class requires me to have a blog. I need this class to transfer. I have never taken a class like this, but I am interested on what I will learn. One of my first assigments was to create this blog and to calculate my footprint. My results were that I need 5.4 planets to support my style of living. It will also take 24.2 global acres of the productive areas to support my lifestyle. I would also need 25.9 tons of carbon dioxide to support my lifestyle. When you look at thechart that breaksdown my footprint Services in the chart is the one I would use more. Also, I looked up possible scenarios that can help me reduce my footprint and it gave me ideas like reducing the animal produces that I consume. Another thing I can do is reduce the amount of package items I consume or use.
