 I was born here in Colorado.

October 18, 1999
A week after my mother left Mexico she gave birth to
me so I was really close to being born in Mexico.
My father is from Mexico City .
My mother is from Michoacn, Mexico. She grew up in
a small pueblo called Capula a little town thats close
to Morelia, Michoacn.
Morelia, Michoacn
Mexico City, Mexico

 I grew up in Aurora Colorado and spent all of my summer

vacations in Capula, Michoacn. I lived a peaceful life in
my small pueblo where I was around nature and pure
wilderness.
As I grew older I spent less and less time in Mexico and more
here.
I went to Fulton Elementary and then moved to Lotus
School for Excellence for my middle school years.
Capula, Michoacn

 I plan on getting into various art

programs this year before I move
schools.
This year is exciting because I am in high
school now not in middle school!
Its going to get harder from here on out
but all I can do is keep pushing forward
until I reach my dreams.

 I love to draw! Even if I am

good or not I its still my
passion!
I also love to write short
stories.
I like to hang out with my
friends and shop! My Favorite Place To Shop!!

 My favorite holiday is Halloween!!

My favorite Bands are Thirty Seconds to Mars, the
Goo Goo Dolls, Guns N Roses, the Beatles,
Imagine Dragons, Breaking Benjamin and Coldplay.

My favorite show is the Walking Dead.

 My mom and dad have been married for

25 years.
I have three sisters and a brother in law.
My family has always been very close but
just recently about a year ago two of my
sisters moved out.
I just live with my parents and my 19 year
old sister.
My whole family are Broncos fans.
