Hello Class,

My name is Cindy Perez (Funes). I have been at Dominguez Hills since the Fall of 2015. I love this school! It has taken me over 10 years to be able to finally see the finish line of obtaining a Bachelor degree.  I did not start out in the IDS program. My initial major was Public Relations/Marketing, however due to my overwhelming personal obligations I decided to change my major. I am enjoying the IDS program. The photo I will be sharing with the class is of a chocolate cake from the Cheesecake Factory. I love chocolate anything!!!!!! Growing up I did not like candy, but I loved Chocolate. I cannot think of any food as a child that I was in love with. But, one thing that I do remember is chocolate.

            I can remember as a child getting excited for Christmas. My father had a friend who would bring my grandmother every year a box of wrapped See’s candies. As soon as I would see the box my eyes would light up, with glee. I would beg my grandmother to let me have the box for myself. She could not eat nuts and so she allowed me to eat some. However, I would sneak in the box when she was not looking and eat all the ones with nuts and more only leaving about one or two. I loved Chocolate. Now, as an adult I still love See’s. Anything chocolate is good to me. I love chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, my favorite drink from Starbucks is chocolate based.  I would say that chocolate is my favorite food (I know it is a candy, but it is still edible making it a food)!
