Marilyn Carrera decided to become an English Major over the course of learning English throughout primary school. Her family originates from Mexico, she was born in Chicago, Illi., and she now lives in Montclair, Cali. Her family in California chose to move to Montclair due to the closeness to high ranking colleges; however, Marilyn decided to attend Delta State University to explore outside of California, while also attending a school that her family would approve of. Marilyn’s family is very extensive. She has several siblings and cousins, as well as extended family in several places across the United States. Marilyn has several pastimes, such as bowling at the local bowling alley, playing Pokemon Go, watching her favorite shows on Netflix and reading in her spare time. She is an excellent student, as her grades were high enough to receive an invitation to the National Society of Leadership and Success. Marilyn plans to teach English in Mississippi after graduating from Delta State University. She also hopes to eventually save enough money to purchase a house large enough to relocate her California family here.
