About Me
My name is Citlalic Pelayo Martinez. I'm 14 years old and am an incoming Freshman. I was born
in Jalisco, Mexico in 2001 but moved to Sanger in 2003. In 2004, my family and I moved to Fresno
where we currently live. I have one brother, named Alan, who loves sports with a passion. I enjoy
reading and drawing on my free time. Currently I am a volunteer at the Sunnyside Library, because
I just can't get enough of books! When I finish High School I want to go to UCLA or any university
that can lead me in a good path further into the medical field. Good grades and a high education
have always been my priorities. I want to some day earn my Doctorate Degree and make my family
proud of me. I'll do anything to better improve my ELA skills and taking 9th Grade ELA Honors is of coarse going in the correct path. I like to think of myself as a hard working person and a perfectionist.
