I was born in New York City and when I was in the first grade, my mother and I went to San German, Puerto Rico to live. San German was very silent and beautiful. I went to public school there, but I didn't speak Spanish a lot. I have always been very friendly, but I felt very uncomfortable there. Then I learned Spanish and I was able to talk to my new friends. In December 1993, I told my father that I wanted to spend my vacation with him in New York. My family and I returned here. I had fun living in New York. Five years passed. I desired to stay with my father to study and have a good profession. And here I am.

In 4th grade, I started collecting basketball cards. The only thing I didn't like is that when I bought the cards for one team, I was finished and I didn't have anymore cards to collect. But then, I started to buy cards from another team. The last time I counted, I had 986 cards. I'm happy about that and I keep on buying cards. The last card I bought was a basketball gold card. It's fun to collect cards and I like it. Collecting cards is a gratifying experience. I am saving my cards for the future. I also enjoy using and learning a lot of new things about computers.
