Introduction- Gabriela Aguilar Castillo
- I was raised by my mother and father, both of whom were immigrants when they arrived in the U.S. I always knew my parents worked hard to get where we are now, especially my father. This experience has taught me to become determined to become successful so that I can provide a better life for me and my family.
- I am open to learning new skills which have helped me find my interest in hobbies. Overall, it has shaped me to become a well-rounded individual that has contributed to different perspectives.
- My current hobby is painting because it is a way to express myself and I enjoy the complex skills needed to paint.
- I am the middle child in my family; therefore, my parents expect me to follow the footsteps of my older siblings but also be a role model for my younger siblings.
- I like to stay informed of current issues/events through social media and political talk shows (Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj). This has influenced me to become diligent in an effort for change, such as donating to non-profit organizations and urging others to vote and become active as well.

Hi Gabriela! Patriot Act got cancelled by Netflix, how do you feel about it? The painting of the koi fishes are amazing. I am amazed by looking at the white fishes body. I can see that you mixed colors and its very cool.
Hi Aamina, I am still livid that The Patriot Act is canceled! Thank you, the painting of the koi fishes took me an enormous amount of time to finish. Thanks for looking at the details of my painting too, very much appreciated!
Of course! No problem. Painting is such an amazing talent.
Hey Gabriela, i like how you enjoy being involved in your community and urging people do better, what are other platforms and shows you watch to further educate yourself in social justice issues and politics.
Hey Gabriela, I really liked how you stated that your main inspiration and motivation to do your best are your parents. I can relate to you because my parents also have done everything to give me a better life which is also my main motivation to succeed.
Hey Gabriela,I am also a very open person.Maybe when this is all over we can try something new together!
