 Where I’m From

Hello my name is Mackenzie Mead. I was born an raised in

America's finest city, better known as San diego California.
More specifically in what is know as east county. I was never
more than 20 to 25 min from the beach, unless I hit rush hour
traffic. I spent my childhood almost always outdoors, in the
perfect 70s degrees weather. A few of my favorite places to
visit were the beach/bay, sea world, the world famous San
Diego Zoo/ Wild Animal Park, and the Padres Stadium better
known as Petco Park. One of the things I miss the most by far is
the food! Being that San diego borders mexico, you can find
the best mexican food around! It was such an amazing place to
grow up, and I recommend visiting if you have never been!

 Friends & Family
My friends and family are the most important
people in my life. Each one of them has taught me so
much about the world; an I would not be the women I
am today, without them. Here are a few pictures of
my parents, grandparents, sister, bestfriend,
boyfriend, and his family.
 Hobbies
My newest hobby is simply hanging out with my
dog Buddy! A year ago my boyfriend and I were
leaving our house when dog covered in hair crossed
our path. He had so much that it made it hard for
him to see, and we barely missed him with my car.
We decided to bring him home, and later found out
he wasn’t chipped. We were given two options keep
him or take him to the pound. As you can see we
decided to keep him. It has been the best decision
we have ever made as a couple. We named him
Buddy J. Mead, and he has brought so much light
into our lives.
 Hobbies Continued
My next passion is cooking. I started
cooking with my grandparents at the age of
12, and I quickly fell in love. It is such a
passion of mine that, I almost decided to
make a career out of it. However, after much
thought I decided against it. I find cooking
very relaxing and I feel cooking as a job
would be very stressful. Also; to make it in
the high end restaurant is very hard,
especially with the pandemic. 65% of the
food and drink industry has had either a
freeze or layoff. I continue to cook for my
friends, an family, and love hosting dinner
parties.
 Hobbies Continued
The last of my three favorite hobbies is traveling. This hobby is
why, I now want to be a history teacher. It all goes back to my 7th
grade world history teacher. She traveled to every place we
learned about in her class. Her room was decorated with things
she had brought back with her. She would also show us pictures at
the paces we would read about. From that moment on I was
hooked. I wanted to visit the places I learned about! My junior
year; I had the opportunity to join the senior class on there class
trip, to Costa Rica. It would be the first time I would get to leave
the country. I fundraised the entire trip by selling cupcakes with
my grandma outside her house, and even brought spending
money. After we returned; the teacher who chaperoned us was so
impressed, she asked if I wanted to make a travel club. She made
me president, and I planned a trip to europe the following year! I
have now been to 6 different countries; Costa Rica, France, the
UK, Italy, Spain, and of course Mexico. My dream is to keep
traveling; inspire my students to love history, and go see it for
themselves.
 Goals
In conclusion I have many goals I am determined to accomplish. None of them would
come true without the love and support of my family. I hope to soon graduate from CSN
and transfer to UNLV. I want to obtain my bachelors in Secondary Education with an
emphasis in history. I want to continue to travel once this pandemic has lifted, so I can
continue following my dreams of seeing history in person. I want to have a class room
where I can inspire my students to get out and see the world. I’m so excited for what the
future holds, wish me luck!
Thank you!
