Gabriela Hurtado

My name is Gabriela Hurtado, everyone calls me Gabby, though. I am 17 years old and I was born on January 10, 2002 in Rio Bravo, Tamaulipas.

I enjoy spending my time at the library reading books or simply just hanging out with my friends there because there is always peace and quiet. When I am not reading a book, I am most likely watching movies or eating or both. I don’t really like talking to people, mostly because I’m a little awkward, so I prefer to be alone.

Other than books and movies, I like soccer, music, and spending time with my family. I plan to attend the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and study criminal justice and then go to law school. I am still not certain of what law school I want to attend, though. I am fascinated by everything that has to do with law and I know that is the field I want to work in when I grow up. My first choice is to be an immigration lawyer since I myself am an immigrant and I know how tough it can be, so I want to be able to help people and make a change in their lives. My other choice is to become a detective to solve murders or other crimes. The justice system is really interesting to me and I want to be able to make justice for the victims and their families.
