My name is Karina Garcia and I’m a social work major. I decided coming in SDSU that I was going to pursue a degree in that field since I’ve been interested in the many different topics that go within one field but also the sense of urgency I have to help people in any way I possibly can. I thought the title of the class was interesting while I was deciding to enroll in it but now knowing that it is more of a focus on mermaids it has caught my attention as I have always questioned if mermaids and other creatures existed outside of the “mythical creatures” category.
I am originally born and raised in a city outside of Los Angeles and moved to San Diego right before I started high school and have been here ever since. I’m currently a full time student and also work at a car dealership. Outside of both school and work I enjoy spending most of my time with my dog, listening to music or spending time with my family.
I am inspired by your willingness to commit to service and to study that which brings you joy– I believe that there is nothing more important. I am glad you chose this class, and I hope it serves both of your goals.
Hi Karina,
It’s nice to meet you. I love that your major is social work. I work with a lot of nonprofits that help refugees, so I think it’s awesome that you are in that field.
I’m in the market for a car so I know who to come to now haha!
