Who Am I

  It's a good time to use this moment to become more aquatinted.  My name is Chris Dominguez, 27, born in San Francisco, but now living in Vallejo.  You might have seen me in traffic, walking through the trenches or studying in the library.  Yes, the library----its probably the place where I spend most of my time, right now.  If you were wondering how does a brother have a last name like DOMINGUEZ, it's because my father is part Mexican.  Its funny that when I'm around African American's, they seem shocked a put a distorted look on their face.  Then when I'm around Hispanics---its like "Oh yeah" and then they ask me, "How?"  Sometimes, I feel its best not to waste my time grappling with poplar misconceptions, but clarification never hurts.  

Moving along. 

I am attending San Francisco State University (SFSU), so far I have enjoyed its rich diversity and campus life.  Its a wonderful experience meeting people searching for the same thing (reaching for the stars).  If your wondering what I do for a living, I currently work with the California Highway Patrol (CHP) as a call-taker for 911 emergency calls.  I'm often asked if I enjoy this line of work and I always respond with a smile (silence kills).  I'm the 2nd born child of three boys, my mother is retired from 31 years from working for SBC.  I am the first of her son's to attend college (at the University level) and the first to be graduating.  My mother is a special part of my life, I am proud to share that she has given me the best guided experience and I love her for it.  

Writing is therapeutic.  I have enjoyed spending time writing and releasing my thoughts.  I hope that you will enjoy this place I call home.
