Bio Statement

On July 18, 1991, I came into this world with a bang! The name's Monica Anestin (my last name is pronounced like Jennifer “Aniston”). I am currently a fulltime student at Miami Dade College. Right now I am working on my Associates in Arts with a focus on Exceptional Student Education. After I have my AA, I will continue on to get a Bachelor’s Degree in Exceptional Student Education.

While I am working on my bachelor’s degree, I will be taking courses to become a Certified Behavioral Analyst for children with Special Needs. As a matter of fact, I work with children with special needs right now for the YMCA of Broward County. Now that you know me on an educational level, let me introduce myself on a more personal level.

I have a passion for reading and I live for fashion. My favorite colors are yellow and silver, yes I know it is quite an unusual pair but I'm an unusual person. I love animals and would pull over on the side of the road to help a hurt dog or cat in an instant. I'm a Cancer so by birth I am the nurturing type. I keep my friends to a minimum. The few friends that I do have have been around for at least five years.

I am the epitome of an optimist. You'll always find me trying to find the silver lining in a stormy grey cloud. I am a determined person, when I want something, I always get it.

I am selfish when it comes to my love, but once you have it you'll have a never ending amount. I cry when I am hurt and feel like life is at a standstill. I do this because I relate tears to rain and I know just like a rainbow comes after the rain, there will be a rainbow after my rain [tears]. I laugh when I'm happy or when I feel like there's nothing else to do. I don't believe in frown lines and find laughter the best antidote for them.

I'm one of those people who believe that hitting rock bottom is sometimes the biggest blessing. It allows you to look at life from a different perspective and find where you are supposed to be. I live by my own rules and expectations. I live through my experiences good and bad, and while I may make the same mistakes over and over, I know that I'm still young and it's all a part of growing up.

I'm buckled up for the journey called life and I'm ready for whatever curve balls it may throw my way. I know that everything won't always be sweet, but I also know they won't always be sour either. I am living life trying to reach my goal and doing whatever it takes to get me there. My one true goal in life is to be happy. It sounds simple and sort of dumb to some, but how many people can go around and say that they are actually happy?

I am a dreamer; you can see the dreams forming in my eyes with one glance. I am determined; you can see the determination sitting prominently on my cheekbones. I am loving; you can see the love emitting through my body with each step I take. I am me, and the best part of being me, is that I am still finding me.
