Jane Mendoza

My name is Jane Mendoza. I am 16 years old, a junior at Hug High School, and a Hispanic-American. My biggest dream is to get enough education and to earn my degree in Radiology to be an X-ray technician. One of my biggest challenges is being afraid of my future. It’s more profound, but I believe that everyone has this fear.

I am currently in English 5-6 honors, and I enjoy being creative with my writing. That is why English has always been my favorite subject in school. Another way I let loose my creativity is through art. My favorite genres of music are K-pop, R&B, and Rap/HipHop.

My goal this school year is to take as many honors classes as possible to be able to graduate with an Honors diploma, as well as getting a higher GPA each year. High school is going by really quickly and it’s getting to me.
