INTRODUCTION

My name is Shayra Enid Rodriguez Rodriguez and I was conceived in Windham Hospital on December 14, 1994. I lived the majority of my childhood in a small town called Norwich, where I learned to use the diversity of creativity and imagination. Also I studied my primary years in Greeneville Elementary School; there I learned of my interest in books and my long termed goals. My ingenious child- life took me on many adventures, such as being a pirate, I loved to climb rocks, trees and on winter days I would invent all sorts of objects with ice and snow.

Though I was the first child born in the household, throughout the years I enjoyed the upcoming of three other babies, all of which shared many cherished moments of my life. My brother Kevin Ruben Rodriguez Rodriguez was born when I was only about three years of age; he was my only companion when it came to playing Barbie’s even though he played with action figures or cars. Then follows my only sister Jarielysse Rodriguez Rodriguez , I was about six then; she was a problem when it came to changing her diapers and I became as if a second mother to her, despite of being her older sister. Joxel Ruben Rodriguez Rodriguez came along when I was seven and he was and is just trouble, the boy though a total sweetheart at times can be a complete meanie and disturbance, yet always helps his older sister in times of need. My little ones and I moved from Norwich, Connecticut to Cleveland, Ohio after the separation of my mother and biological father. We left after a hard year to Cleveland with my step father; there we moved various times and attended various school, all which were mostly kindergarten through ninth grade.

Living in Ohio was interesting mostly because there was a library in every corner, so even though I moved three to four times around the huge city there was always a place to read in peace and meet new friends. Also the good thing of living in a city was that there were always nearby restaurants unlike the small town of Norwich. In Ohio I spent my days walking around outside, as well cheer on the Cleveland Cavaliers especially when Lebron James was the star. My family and I also travelled a lot by car to Connecticut and other nearby states, since we are all very adventurous. For example, once we even went to Toronto, Canada on an expedition to New York to see Niagara Falls, we just appeared there. The freezing city next to Lake Eerie was spectacular as I envisioned it; there was always something to do.

Three to four years after living in Ohio my mother and step father decided to move to Puerto Rico, seeking a new opportunity. I graduated with honors in Francisco Gaztambide Vega and enjoyed every step towards that achievement. Recently I am approaching towards completing a bachelor’s degree in Forensic Psychology in the University of Puerto Rico in Carolina. My future goal is to dedicate my strategies in the terms of justice and most certainly become a lawyer or any further position in the legal field.
