Hello, my name is Darian Mendez; I was born and raised in a small town with the name of Lindsay. Chances are not many people know where the town is at... growing up in Lindsay has been a good experience do the fact that it is a peaceful town. I've been into sports my whole life, football and baseball are the two sports I have played and participated in since the age of ten. Going to school has never been something I look forward to since I have trouble remembering what I get taught. But as I entered Lindsay High School the light bulb finally turned on, and that is when I realized I had to get serious about school and start to think about my future and what a I would like to do with my life. Being a lawyer was always something I had in mind and it was my goal, however when I talked the staff at school and found out that they had nothing that had to do with my pathway I was a bit dissappointed. Now as a senior I look back and realized how close I was to change my mind on what I wanted to be. Becoming a lawyer is still my main focus and it will continue to be untill I become one and I have my career as one.
