A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Ximena Cortes, and I'm 18 years old. I recently graduated from Bishop Lynch High School, and I'm excited to begin my college journey as a psychology major.

One thing that has always been close to my heart is working with children. I absolutely love kids their energy, curiosity, and honesty inspire me every day. Whether I'm babysitting, volunteering, or just spending time with younger family members, I always feel a strong connection with them. I enjoy helping kids learn, feel supported, and express themselves, and I truly believe that even small acts of kindness and patience can make a big difference in a child's life.Outside of school, I'm someone who enjoys making people smile, staying active, and spending quality time with family and friends. I'm looking forward to everything the future holds and can't wait to keep learning and growing along the way!
