Janeth Saldivar
May 8, 2019 Period 1 Many people know her as Ms.Diaz and others know her as Isis Diaz. Her family is originally from Mexico. Her parents came to the United States and she was born here along with her siblings. She has 2 older sisters so in total, there are 5 people in her family. “I would describe them as tight-knit, we are like close and very open, very outgoing people, all of us.” Everybody in her family is really kind. She attended Notre Dame de Namur. Although she majored in political science and criminal justice, her job now doesn’t have to do anything with this major. She is a college counselor at KSJC and decided to because she’s worked with Kipp in college and what she did was work with families that had kids of all ages and liked that she could be a support for families that have students that are first generation even though it wasn’t her job but she realized that she enjoyed this more than when she was going to law school. KSJC has been her first place where she’s been a counselor but she’s been working at schools since she’s been 19. Her reasoning to why she chose KSJC as her working place is because she actually attended KSJC as a student. She had the opportunity to come back so she did and left the other Kipp school she was at because she said that KSJC felt like home and she wanted to help students and provide them with more help and do it better than when she was here. Before becoming a college counselor, she thought she wanted to be a lawyer but when she worked at a legal aid, she noticed that she hated it. When she began to help at schools, that is where she realized she wanted to be in a school setting just not teaching a subject. If she wasn’t a teacher, she sees herself probably living in DC and working in politics somewhere because that is her background and she really enjoys that. One of her goals she would like to accomplish is going back to school and earning a Master’s degrees. She’s been putting it off but she won’t be any longer. Ms.Diaz has a boyfriend and she wants to have a family but in the future. She doesn’t have the urge to start a family and she would like to take her time with it. She would like to stay in the Bay Area and establish her family here because her own family is here. Ms.Diaz is a really adventures person. She loves to travel near and far and with that being said, she has traveled to 32 states and several countries in Europe. When she’s not out and traveling, she really likes to go to Disneyland or if not, she likes to stay home and watch her all time favorite show, Grey’s Anatomy or jamming to John Legend. If you ever get the opportunity to see her around campus, you should stop her and have a quick talk with her.
