Ivette Morales

I am 18 years old and a freshman at Saint Mary's College. I grew up in Sacramento, CA and lived in Austin, Texas for 2 years. I am Mexican and Salvadorian, from a big family with very young parents. I grew up in a working class family. I'm catholic and my faith is a big part of my life. I'm a writer, actress, singer, dancer, and I love to perform. I am a peer facilitator, which means I help students talk about difficult topics.  I love to talk to people.  My favorite color is blue because it's the color of the ocean. I adore the ocean; I collect sea shells and rocks. I have a weird fascination with everything Irish, and I plan on studying literature in Ireland next year. I hope one day to be an established author and a director who turns my books into movies.
